Kova gameplay is a side-scrolling RPG Metroidvania. In this Kova pre-alpha demo, we play the introduction mission: "You take control of Kova, a space mercenary that has found herself between paydays as she flies to a local Hub in hopes of a job lead. She's soon given a warm welcome by a nearby opponent's ship that takes out her main thruster. 

"With no choice but to land, she sets coordinates to a close by (but extremely cold and uninhabited) planet where she must pick up the pieces to progress. After mining for some resources on the icy planet, she is able to get her ship back online only to stumble upon an ancient beacon..."

Kova gameplay in this demo is based around mining for materials to craft supplies and repair your ship. We hunt for carbon and titanium, fight some cave dwellers and a mad drone, repair our ship and escape in this Kova gameplay video.
