Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU

Absolutely wonderful little metroidvania! Can't wait to see what else this company creates!

Cool easier kind of fast paced metroidvania.

不錯玩

Demasiado similar a Ori y con peor jugabilidad, pero con un diseño e historia preciosos.

This is yet another metroidvania where, by the end, I wasn’t sure if I liked it or just couldn’t wait to finish. The game has its challenges, but they’re well balanced, allowing anyone to play without requiring skills from another universe. That said, I found the game repetitive and lacking in varied mechanics. In the end, for me, it was just another game—one I wouldn’t play again.

its has flaws

Ce jeu dépeint le voyage initiatique d'un shaman, Zau, à la suite d'une perte tragique qui l'affecte au plus haut point. Il décide alors de passer un pacte avec le Dieu de la Mort afin de surmonter ce chagrin, ce qui constituera le contenu de notre aventure à travers les décors africains. Je tiens à avertir les gens les plus sensibles que, comme précisé, le jeu aborde la perte d'un être cher (basé sur l'histoire personnelle du créateur). Si vous traversez une phase similaire, peut-être patienter un petit peu avant de le lancer (?). Les points forts selon moi : 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Environnement très coloré, on en prend plein la vue 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Les musiques sont entraînantes, j'ai voyagé 🩷🩷🩷🩷 Histoire touchante, jamais dans le trop 🩷🩷🩷 Difficulté adaptable tout le long du jeu si vous ragez sur un passage Quelques aspects négatifs : ❌❌ Jeu assez linéaire, y compris lorsqu'il s'agit de faire le 100% pour les succès. Les points négatifs n'ont en rien entaché mon envie tout le long de jouer au jeu. J'ai fait de grosses séances sans voir le temps passer. Je recommande ce jeu qui est une belle surprise à mes yeux (mais ce n'est pas un jeu qui se compare à d'autres de type Metroidvania, il se prend à part pour son histoire).

7/10. A história e a arte são bem decentes, porém o combate do jogo é ok, somente. O personagem não da muito dano com seus ataques, logo o combate gira em torno dos "especiais" das máscaras e usar o ambiente ao seu favor jogando inimigos em espinhos , areia movediça e etc. percebi, durante a gameplay, que a mascara da lua é efetiva contra inimigos grandes e a do sol em todos os outros. Fora isso, o segmento final do jogo é a melhor parte por muito, as ultimas dois chefes finais são excelentes. Por fim, um bom jogo, bons gráficos, boa história e um combate mais ou menos.

Extremely frustrating. Once you make it part of the way into the story, you have to collect keys but when collecting one by these waterfalls you can't get out. This seems to have been an issue dating back to 2024 with no fix in 2026.. Don't recommend this game unfortunately.
