Retro Relics

Beep…beep…beepbeepbeep…looks like you found treasure here gamer! A wholesome, fun adventure where you hunt treasures with your metal detector. [h3][u]Gameplay & Settings[/u][/h3] A very wholesome game about treasure hunting with your metal detector and following in the footsteps of your late Grandpa (a passionate metal detectorist) who was also searching for some mysterious ruins. This game has so much to do and with no timers or stress you can take it all in at your own leisure. Some of the fun things you will encounter; ✨ Lots of different environments with their own secrets to find and animals ✨ Take on jobs to earn coin for upgrades and help others find their missing items ✨ Decorate your own personal museum with your fave treasures ✨ Reset any level for 1000 coins if you want to scavenge for new treasures! ✨ Charming pixel art and an upbeat, adventurous soundtrack (classic rpg vibes) ❗Remember to manual save your game before quitting. Settings & extras include; audio controls, display options, detector signal sound (two to choose from). The store page does say the game supports full controllers but I played it with keyboard and mouse. It does use WASD keys for movement and the mouse to interact with items. There is a complete, well done tutorial at the start of the game that gets you used to the controls and how to use the metal detector. [h3][u]Overall Experience[/u][/h3] This game is very relaxing and enjoyable.You can reset any of the levels for 1000 coins to keep searching for treasures even after the story is complete. The full story with all achievements took me around 3.5 hours but will run you longer or shorter depending on how much exploring you do in between the story and side quests. 1000 coins seems like a lot but by the story's end you’ll have plenty of money to reset levels and buy items for your museum. 💎 [hr][/hr] IndieGems wishes to thank [i]HistoryXPlorer[/i] for providing a review copy for this game.

I just brought those turles back to the beach...what a lovely game <3 I like turtles!

hi dev can you consider making a black outline to the shining of treasures ? i cant see anything on the beach map

I love this game the music is very relaxing and the gameplay is as well. You can clear Trash to bring back Animals like Turtles to the Beach for coins which I find cute. The only one bad thing I have to say about it is the sparkles for hidden Relics are hard to see on the Beach. This is a great game! ^^

Played the demo, loved it, said I'd buy it on release day, did. Enjoying myself! Lovely game, thanks for scratching my brain itch!

4 major bugs in the last hour, i'll drop that game This is an indie game that i would have loved to like and recommend, it's full of good ideas, i love the concept, but it's NOT TESTED. Bugs in a game are a plague, i'm pretty unlucky when it comes to bug usually but testing is my job and i can't allow this - No possibility to rebind, i play on an AZERTY keyboard, not a QWERTY. Fine, i used the controller. Then in the last 5 minutes before i write this review, i suddenly couldn't change items (normally with RT / LT , not activating) - I once clicked on the collection to the end => Game crashed with a developper window. I guess the last arrow to change pages wasn't intented to exist... I lost one hour of gameplay, because the game only auto saves when you enter zones but not your own house... - minor bug when you can't get the item even if it's completely free of dirt. Workaroung is dig deeper some dirst and the games allows you to get the item : i guess it's a hitbox problem - finally i have a major bug on my actual quest. I use the radar to detect artefact, not the metal detector which is absolutely useless after the 1rst hour. Why bother to use a manual detector when you can buy a radar auto detecting everything in a radius? Oh yeah if i remember correctly the radar was intended to show only artefact you don't already own : it doesn't work. It shows everything I used the radar to detect the quest item, i the proceed to try and dig EVERYTHING in the zone, and i can't seem to advance the quest. When i went back to the quest hole, it still shows the signal as i i didn't dig it. I did. I got the item. the game bugged. I'm guessing this is why i can't seem to advance the quest? i get the artifact signal on a tile that is already dug I know i can reset the zone but i won't bother, it's a EA game at best, very, very unpolished. I like indie game, i like and respect solo game dev, but you still have to produce a valid product at the end...

After a long hard day of metal detecting I get to come back to my house and dive head first into my pile of relics. 10/10 concussed myself on the dive.

Loving this game so far! I've got jet lag and it is freezing outside and this game has made my evening much nicer! It is very satisfying collecting all the relics (and junk!) and completing the quests. If you are like me and sometimes need a game to just completely relax, play nice and slowly to unwind, this is perfect. I think I am being to be sad when I get to the end!

Retro Relics is a super fun game in a charming pixel-art style. Using a metal detector, you explore different areas to search for hidden items and dig them up, which makes the gameplay both relaxing and satisfying. The simple mechanics are easy to pick up, but still keep you engaged as you hunt for new relics and discoveries. The pixel graphics give the game a nostalgic feel, and the overall atmosphere is cozy and enjoyable. It’s the kind of game you can play to unwind, while still feeling rewarded for your progress. I really hope to see more updates in the future, such as new locations, items, or features, because the concept has a lot of potential. Overall, Retro Relics is a lovely game for fans of pixel art and casual exploration games

A simple game about finding lost items from different ages. The game itself is mostly a light grind with some story elements, but it's perfect if you're looking for something short and easy to play without too much mental effort involved. There is also a feature in which you can decorate your house and store the objects you found. There is also replayability in that you can reset areas to go searching for artifacts again. Fair warning, there are several minor bugs which can be visually annoying but don't prevent you from completing the game. For a light game with a simple search mechanic, it's kind of fun.
