The game is a pretty limited Legend of Zelda remake (from when it was still an overhead view game). The monsters are ok. The upgrades are creative. The bosses - if you’ve played any of these games, you’ve seen them. The problem is the controls. They are so imprecise I end up dying not because I didn’t know what to do but because i pushed the button and the game did nothing or moved me in a different direction. Fix that and you have a nice 4-star adventure game. Right now it’s just frustration.
I’ve been playing since last night, a couple hours with of gameplay, I guess, and so far…I’m still waiting for something to happen. All I’m doing is going down, battling monsters, coming back up and spending money on building workshops for the npcs (workshops that don’t really do a whole heck of a lot) then repeat. I mean, the land technically changes, but it feels like the same exact thing unless you memorize the exact layout each time you go down, then I guess you would be able to appreciate the “difference” more. I guess you’d know “hey, last time this area had a tree on the left and a lake in the center. Now it has a lake on the top and a rock on the left” I don’t know, hopefully this is still just some sort of reality long introduction? I’ll update if I find out that it is.
I never take the time to leave review for anything, but really saw the need to leave one for this game.Believe it or not, I actually bought this game for the switch a few years ago but never played it. Once I saw it for iOS I decided to finally take a dive, and boy what a good game. Interesting take on a game, when I was told it was a weird copy of classic Zelda titles. But that is not the case. Interesting mechanic to just explore until you die, and fun way to plan upgrades for yourself and weapon before each outing.Thought id just enjoy a little here and there, but here I am about 2 hours later unable to put the controller down!
The rogue like is very driven so I’m not sure how long the game is gonna last because everybody in the town takes 100 gems to upgrade and I’ve already gotten 100 gems and I’ve been playing less than an hour and there’s only like six people I think there’s stuff you can buy too. I buy stuff they’ll be replacement items more expensive anyhow it’s a really cute game, but you have a city that stays the same as floating in the air and then he just run around on the ground and then when you die, they pick you up ““to make it, nonviolent game
Developer ResponseThank you for your review, we’re really glad you like the game!
I know that most games on mobile don’t come with a premium, but this game is much more than worth it. The world is fun, controls are tight and engaging, music is good, and gameplay loop is some of the best that a roguelite has to offer. The world is procedurally generated but still extremely well done, and the rate of progress to failure is spot on.Whether on mobile or any other platform, I highly recommend this game.
I’m still in the beginning, but so far the game has a solid story and a well designed world. However, the only criticism I have is about the lack of proper instructions, a tiny button appeared at the corner of the screen and I had to look for it for a while until I realized that’s what I had to do, in the beginning I had to switch the saves because I missed what the robot assistant said in the beginning and the instructions weren’t replayed. Besides, fun, interesting game!
