KAMIKO

I forgot to leave a review for this game! It's pretty fun. A well put together little hack'n'slash experience for a modest price. Absolutely worth it if you'd like something quick to play in that genre style.

Slight non-recommendation. Though it has charm, Kamiko is a 45 minute long game (or shorter) that wants you to replay it with each of the three characters. Unfortunately between excessively long 'cutscenes', annoying carrying item segments, hidden mandatory paths, a pretty thin combat system, and forced fights each time you enter self-locking rooms- it kind of feels like a chore. The game is absurdly easy, the only challenge coming from trying for the speed achievement or the no-hit achievement; the latter of which is annoying due to the propensity of enemies spawning on you. Even for this price point, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Super fun and satisfying little game. Get it on sale. Worth playing through a couple times.

short but fun game. very cheap as a gift or a quick timewaster. takes about an hour on each character to beat, and there are 3 characters. combat is like the 2d zelda games if they were really fast and a bit simpler. be warned if your screen is higher than 60hz your character will move slower. set your refresh rate to 60hz or use some third party software like gamescope or rivatuner to cap the game's framerate to 60

Zelda puxado um pouco para arcade, quase sem historia, porem muita ação e ótimos visuais. infelizmente é muito curto mas a jogabilidade é tão legal que fui atras do 100%

No story, extremely simple combat, based mostly on puzzles, game made for "speed running", short bit of fun

Simple but fun little romp

I can't really recommend this game. There are many good things going for it: The nice pixel art, reasonably good soundtrack, and responsive gameplay. The game is really short (under an hour to beat), which is not a bad thing either. The game offers three playable characters. The only thing that changes between them is the weapon used. The story, stages, and bosses are exactly the same for each (minus a few words difference in the beginning cutscene). I felt disappointed by this, as it seemed like there would be something more here, like character development or personality quirks - but there was nothing. Now to the real problems with this game. The thing I had the most problems with is the way enemies respawn. Enemies will respawn very frequently and very often directly in your path. It makes dashing frustrating and is even more so when you are carrying items that drop when you get touched. It's almost better not to kill the enemies at all, but you need to kill them in order to restore magic points. The leads to another flaw - the magic system. Magic is used for your charge attack, but you probably won't use it much since you're always saving magic to activate portals, open treasures, doors, etc. Why have a great charge attack, when you can't really use it freely? I guess you can use it on bosses, but it would have been better if there were a cooldown time or some other limiting factor instead. The last problem I encountered were game bugs in the final battle. One time, it got stuck on an attack phase and would not move on to the next phase. Another time, the weak point was up, but it wouldn't let me hit it. However, after restarting these battles, I didn't run into the problem again and was able to beat it. So not a total deal breaker, but was a bit annoying. While I feel like the look, sound, and feel of the game is great, the problems above bog down the experience. While the game is fairly inexpensive ($5), I think there are better games out there to play.
