A Fighter’s Nova: Mindara Begins Kickstarter Campaign, Demo Available

BadRez Games has begun a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for its narrative-driven fighting game and RPG hybrid A Fighter’s Nova: Mindara. The campaign is looking for CA$70,000 (c. US$51,000) in funding and is set to run until July 2, 2026. Those who pledge at least $30 will receive a digital copy as part of their backer rewards. The game is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2, and is currently expected to release in 2028.

In addition, the developer has released a prototype demo for the game. The demo is available for PC via Steam and lets players experience the game’s tag-team fighting system and transitions between exploration and combat.

A Fighter’s Nova: Mindara follows teenage martial artist Maya and mysterious wolf-man Mindara as they journey to a legendary tournament taking place in a mystical city. During their travels, they encounter allies with their own stories while forming bonds and gaining strength. Encounters see the game shift into a fighting-style combat using a tag-team system to let players switch heroes. Each hero has their own fighting style and skills, with new combos and tactics gained by upgrading bonds. The game is planned to include a scalable difficulty as well as both solo and co-op play, as well as a soundtrack featuring composer Hiroki Kikuta.
