Legend of Iya is a Metroidvania that seems focused on close range combo-combat and a lot of exploration... with very smooth pixel-art animation.  According to said kickstarter, the developer has basically been working on the game idea on-off thru several generations of implementations, and is just now wanting to go all in to finish it. 

He is trying to get a demo out and working now, which is kinda bad because he should have had that out before the kickstarter hit, but hopefully that'll be out soon so we can actually try it out.

That elephant boss is really unfair for a game of this type.

And hes got a demo out finally (bout time).

Time to see how it plays.

Edit: played, seemed a decent start, hella tuning needed and buggy though of course.
A lot more than what some kickstarters give up front, but the goal on kickstarter seems like it may be slightly too high.
Has potential at least.

Looks like its going to be a bust (barring some random benefactor/s), though they broke 45k (what I would have figured as a good spot for funding goal off the top of my head for this one).   I'm not sure if the demo helped or hurt, though not having it ready from the get go seemed off.  Lots of updates from him though.

... wow, they actually pulled it off. Looks like the guy did some hard-core marketing in the last few days and did everything he needed to do.
