Toada Brava Kickstarter Campaign Underway

Asteristic Game Studio has begun its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for 2D turn-based RPG Toada Brava. The campaign is looking for $35,000 in funding and is set to run until November 6, 2026. Those who pledge at least $25 ($20 for a limited time) will receive a digital copy of the game, currently estimated for 2028, as part of their backer rewards.

Toada Brava looks to blend classic JRPG inspiration from titles like Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, and Vagrant Story with 2D animation, and features a setting inspired by Latin American landscapes and culture. The game follows Kako, who lives on a ranch with his mother Matilda. After the Duke of Santacrúz seizes their land for gold extraction, Matilda is arrested and Kako is himself captured after trying to rescue her. In prison, Kako assembles a motley crue that attempts to escape to freedom.

The game’s combat system makes use of timed button presses to deal extra damage or block enemy attacks, with players also able to use music-based magical attacks through a variety of instruments. A demo is currently available on Steam.
