Bayani by Ranida Games is one of the most exciting local video games coming out in the near future. This indie fighting game is not only made by an all-Filipino development team, it’s also draws upon the country’s rich history, culture, and mythology. I mean, what other game can let you play as a fictional anime-inspired Jose Rizal against Magellan himself!?

As the game is still in development, the team at Ranida Games needs your help. If you want to support the game, Bayani now has a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the game’s development. Of course, supporters will also receive some awesome goodies; even supporters who pledge only CAD $1 will get a playable demo version ahead of the early access date!
