The game is so short it looks like a demo...
The one thing you have to know about this prior to your purchase is that it's short. There are three dungeons that are all really small. You'll probably finish the game in about 30 minutes. There's a roguelike tower to climb afterwards for more content. That being said, the game is pretty solid. It's a great homeage to the Game Boy Zelda games. Aesthetic, music, and game play is all solid for what you expect. If you're interested in a really short Zelda like experience, pick it up. It's definitely a fun time.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Buy on a sale (99 cents) Which i did and its is worth. Look at my playtime. I beat the entire game in less than two hours.
Kämpfe sind sehr simpel, Rätsel sehr leicht und das Spiel sehr kurz. Schaut euch lieber nach einer anderen Zelda-Alternative um
Overall the nostalgia from Zelda is unmistakingly here. Short as hell since 40 minutes to finish the whole game is extremely little but the fun you get from it is worth it, especially with the game being discounted to just £2. I guess the only thing bad about the game is that I want more of it... so basically its a shout out to devs.. please make more, it's awesome what you did here
Ohne Witz das spiel macht echt spaß :D lohnt sich ! auch wenn es nicht das längste game ist ist das überhaupt nicht schlimm :D macht um so mehr spaß mal wieder ein spiel durch zu spielen ^^
When I first bought this game I was expecting a simple small map to explore with some cool dungeons, similarly to the gameboy zelda games it clearly takes inspiration from. You can imagine my surprise when I soon realized that whole island was a tutorial for the actual game which turned out to be a 2d zelda inspired roguelike, and I gotta say I really enjoyed this title and I actually ended up playing it for much longer than I anticipated. It took me 4 hours to beat it, and yet despite the short length I felt really satisfied and felt like I had my money's worth by the end. (Considering it goes on sale pretty often too) If you like 2D zelda and want to see a title like it with a cool Roguelike twist, I really reccommend you give it a shot.
Three extremely easy dungeons and a lame post game tower. That's the whole game.
Small, short, sweet
This game is clearly made for a type of person I am not. But that doesn't take away from the fun I had. It has a lot of replayability if you like speed, but I'm a one and done man. Made it halfway up the tower mode before I got stunlocked in a corner. That is my main gripe. Story is there but limited, hitboxes are a bit too wide as I find myself bumping off of every wall I come to. I think the game looks good for what it is trying to emulate, but there is something about the style. It has a very depressing tone to it. Best way to describe it is I get the same feeling playing this as I do playing the axiom verge games. Like there is a hopelessness feel to it. Offputting. But I'd still recommend as overall FUN GAME
