Echo Isle

This game is alright. The graphics are pretty charming, it controls pretty well, the music and sound effects are on-point and the dungeons have enough variety and puzzles to not feel monotonous, even if they can be a bit too easy. That's the main criticism i have with this game actually, it's very easy, which combined with the game's short length, it can make things like a blink-and-you-miss-it type of experience. If that's not a deterrence to you and you're in the mood for a short good-feeling top down zelda-like, then I would definitely still recommend it. However, it is also worth pointing out that at the time of writing this review, certain gamepads have issues with inputs. Long story short, the button to confirm an option on the main menu, the buttons to swap between sidearms and the button to leave back to the main menu on the pause screen don't work. For the time being you can circumvent the first by using the mouse (or steam deck/controller trackpad) and the second one through steam input by assigning the shoulder buttons to mouse wheel scroll, so it won't make the game unplayable, but it's still worth pointing out in case you want to get the game and this ends up happening to you as well. Here's hoping that this issue can be addressed soon.

[h1]Short but sweet[/h1] Looks and plays like the Gameboy Zelda games, but isn't a true clone. Usually you'd use the tools you get from dungeons to clear them and defeat the bosses, but all the bosses can be defeated by spamming the sword. And given the sheer amount of side quests you could do in GB Zeldas, this feels somewhat lacking in comparison. I kept on searching for any more secrets to what I found, but I found everything incredibly easily. Overall, it's a nice, short game. Worth it if you have a spare hour, and would be great for speedrunners.

A nice bite-sized 2d-zelda-like. It isn't doing anything new, but if you're looking for a way to spend an evening, this is a good one. I'm looking forward to any other games from this dev!

Excellent jeu, qui ressemble beaucoup à The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past sur SNES, en plus facile, beaucoup plus court (le jeu se termine en moins de 2 heures), et aussi plus moderne.

Ótimo jogo pra gastar uma onda sem fritar demais. Posso dizer que é um mini Zelda. Entrega o que promete,

Short but very fun for someone who played Link's Awakening as a kid. I beat it in about 2 hours, but for the price would recommend.

Muito bom, bem divertido!

I played Elementallis a couple of days before playing Echo Isle, and Echo Isle is superior in every way: very efficient in what it does/offers, it's engaging and fun to play, tells a much more cohesive and interesting story, has a neat look and strong sound design, doesn't expect/force aimless wandering to make progress, and respects your time! What a fantastic little snack of a Zelda-like, and one I'm glad I played through!

Very beautiful artstyle, nice music and map. Quite short (about 1-1.5 hours) and linear, but still worth it, in my opinion.

nice
