Prodigal

Jugado en Steam Deck, performance 10/10 sin ningún tipo de error. Me duró unas 10hs, aunque registre solo 1h por jugarlo sin internet estando de viaje. Good soup, tiene el espíritu de un Zelda de GBC pero no intenta ser una copia, quiere ser su propia cosa; no te va a cambiar la vida pero está bien hecho. Tiene mucho contenido post-game pero no me atrapó lo suficiente como para darle relevancia, por lo que leí es donde está lo mejor del juego asique me pierdo una parte jugosa. Tengo curiosidad por los otros juegos del creador.

A tightly designed, dense, gorgeous little GBC throwback game with a pretty endearing story, fun characters, and some of the best pixel art you'll ever see. Especially for the character portraits. They also manage to get some Zelda-like dungeons in there, which is honestly a pretty difficult feat of game design that few pull off well. I highly recommend it!

A unique and competent take on what likely inspired it. The comparisons will be numerous and nothing will ever live up to originals (not because of their greatness, but mostly because they were the first) but this is its own game and adds interesting takes on mechanics. There is obviously a depth of "post-game" here and I did not fully explore that but I still had a good time with what I did play.

In terms of price to content ratio, this game is a must try. If you don't like it then you didn't waste much money on it but if you did like it then it's a win-win situation. To put it simply, this game is very inspired by Link's Awakening so if you like that type of game and artstyle then this game will bee an instant hook. The main game in it of itself is short-ish (4 to 5 hours if you aren't gunning it for the ending) but the post-game is suprisingly massive (maybe even bigger than the main game) and it has clever uses of the tools and mechanics pressented. The gameplay is mostly ok but everything being built on a grid while your character isn't restricted to it leads to both fun puzzle cheesing tomfoolery and frustrating increase in difficulty for intended navigational challenges like weaving along 1 block walkways and such. The characters are, for me, ok although I do remember some of them more than others. They don't standout too much but they're not forgetable plus interacting with them a bunch can lead to nice sidequests and such. You can also choose to marry a selection of 6 gals during this sidequesting process (an additional girls 4 become available after a first playthrough) which is neat, it doesn't appeal to me but I don't dislike it either There's a suprising amount of lore both hidden and not for those who are interested in that kind of stuff. The music is also ok with some areas having some actually catchy tunes. It's not gonna blow your mind but it isn't going to (mostly) bore you either. Overall: A pretty good game with surprisingly a lot of content and more than worth the price.

A great game. Reminiscent of the very best 2D Zeldas, with loads of hidden content and a clear passion for the craft. Highly recommend giving it a go. But why can't I marry Wren, though?

内容比预期的要多的类塞。 美术和音乐都相对复古，中规中矩。 地牢相当多，设计的也算中规中矩吧，稍微吐槽一下本作的谜题设计，很多地方的解谜包含了大量多余元素作为干扰项，而最终的实际解答过程可能相当简单，并且后期有了某些能力的情况下，很多的谜题可以通过极其简单的方式通过，让人不禁怀疑作者是不是忘了自己做了一个可以让角色位移两格的能力。 最特色的玩法是可以和各个女角色谈恋爱，其实也就是把其他类塞里的支线任务换成每天和女孩对话时不时跑腿积累好感度，还算有点意思，但不多。 内容确实是挺多的，一般推荐吧，没类塞玩了可以试试。

A great game in the style of the game boy era Zelda's. Interesting mechanics, fun story and characters and a deep post-game I've only scratched the surface of but am excited to really dig into. Plenty good enough for full price, a steal on sale.

Some neat puzzles and humor, but a lot of little issues and nothing outstanding. Also I feel like I have done everything out of order, was just stumbeling around with no direction and made progress anyway. After the beginning of Act 2 confused me even more I didn't feel like it is worth continuing any longer.

——记录：《Prodigal / 浪子》，26/02/09入。 ——一款GBC 复古画风的类塞尔达俯视角动作解谜冒险，披着怀旧像素的外壳，内里却塞了远超预期的剧情、地牢探索与恋爱养成内容，是独立小品里完成度很高的冷门宝藏，唯一硬伤是无官方中文，对英语不好的玩家门槛偏高。 ——综合评分：7.6/10 ——主线通关时长：10～15 小时 | 全收集全恋爱线：20～25 小时 ——剧情： 主角奥兰是个年少轻狂时偷走家里钱财、离家出走多年的浪子。接到祖父传讯得知父母双亡的消息后，他回到阔别已久的家乡范恩角，试图弥补过往的过错，重新融入小镇生活。 镇子上的居民对他态度分化明显：有人念旧情愿意接纳，有人对他当年的不辞而别耿耿于怀。随着探索深入，小镇周边的洞穴、古堡、地下墓穴接连出现异常魔物，古老的预言与家族秘密逐渐浮出水面。奥兰一边在地牢中收集魔法遗物、解开谜题，一边帮村民解决各种麻烦，最终直面威胁整片大陆的黑暗力量，完成自我救赎。 故事核心是「浪子回头与自我和解」，没有宏大的史诗叙事，更像一场温暖又带点苦涩的小镇冒险。除主线外，游戏内置6 名可攻略角色，各有完整个人支线与结婚结局，恋爱线文本细腻，人物塑造鲜活。 ——有点：经典类塞尔达地牢探索+简洁但有挑战的战斗+意外扎实的恋爱养成系统 看似小品级独立游戏，实则主线流程饱满，支线、收集、恋爱线、隐藏 Boss、挑战模式一应俱全。 没有非黑即白的反派，也没有强行煽情的桥段。小镇居民各有各的生活与烦恼，主角从人人侧目到重新被接纳的过程细腻自然，浪子回头的主题不悬浮、不说教，叙事温柔有温度，人物群像鲜活，玩到结尾会有很舒服的治愈感。 不同恋爱线、真结局、速通挑战、混沌难度、无升级通关等玩法，支撑得起多周目重玩；通关后解锁的调色板系统还能更换主角外观，可玩性与收集欲兼顾。 ——劝退点： 1.无官方中文，这是国内玩家最大的门槛。游戏对话、剧情、谜题提示全为英文，恋爱线文本量尤其大，英语基础薄弱的玩家玩起来会很吃力，容易错过剧情细节与谜题线索。 2.开局没有明确的任务指引，地图标识也比较简略，初次游玩很容易不知道下一步该去哪、该做什么；部分地牢谜题提示过于隐晦，不看攻略容易无故卡关。 ——本作是复古像素类塞尔达游戏里的一匹黑马，恋爱养成的加入让它跳出了单纯玩法复刻的范畴，剧情与人物的加持让通关体验更有温度。推荐喜欢GBC复古像素风、类塞尔达地牢解谜、偏爱慢节奏小镇冒险、能接受英文文本的玩家。26/06/28
