FOUNTAINS

Questo vuole essere uno " sconsiglio " di incitazione , il gioco di per se è bellino e ti fa passare svariate ore in una discreta avventura. Tuttavia ci sono delle problematiche che in un gioco con una grafica così orrenda lo rendono abbastanza spiacevole , si comprende la scelta stilistica siamo tutti d' accordo ma dotare il gioco di una mappa praticamente illeggibile non è di nessun aiuto . Allo stesso modo sempre per un discorso di grafica non è accettabile che il personaggio si mangi le mosse per via delle animazioni ( e non ogni tanto ma quasi sempre ! ), questo rende frustrante affrontare i boss soprattutto quelli finali che diventano un inutile parto . Per non parlare del fatto che in una paio di occasioni ti ritrovi a sfruttare dei bug degli stessi per terminare le fight. Ci sono un paio di vendor ci sono varie gear e armi, tutto però scarno e si sarebbe potuto rendere molto più profonda l' esperienza con un po più di item al fine di personalizzare meglio il pg . Può valere i soldi spesi ma senza pretese ;)

I'm so glad that I stumbled across this game, and I'm not sure how it went under my radar since it ticks so many boxes for the types of games I enjoy. It managed to recreate that magical feeling I had playing the original Zelda for NES when I was a kid, and played similarly with its top-down perspective and sprawling map. The world was a joy to explore and there were many surprising ways that it interconnected and allowed for teleporting if you took the time to uncover every nook and cranny. Adding so many Dark Souls elements, including the bonfire-style respawn with fountains, the player-created message system that could range from tips to trolls to outright poetry, and the tools and equipment you could find really enhanced the experience. I do enjoy the Metroidvania style map where you can mark things yourself, which was essential since the game doesn't mark anything for you - NPCs, shops, dungeons, caves, treasure, teleports, etc. I do feel like the difficulty isn't balanced though, and that's probably the only reason this game isn't getting the praise that it deserves. I managed to defeat all of the bosses and complete the game, but the last three in particular took perseverance and felt more frustrating than enjoyable at times. While the difficulty is part of the design and I want a game like this to be a challenge, a few aspects felt unfair. Things like the boss moving and attacking from offscreen, projectiles not being blocked how you'd expect from the environment, dying in three hits with the best gear, and never getting an amount of mana from enemies that felt right even with optimum equipment. But that last bit can be mitigated with consumables, and the rest with extreme patience when it finally clicks and you understand how to do it. Despite that frustration, this is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a long time and the developer has a real gem on their hands here.
