This game is a pretty rough, but playable, action adventure game in the style of you-know-which franchise. Swords, bombs, dungeons, pieces of heart, etc. It features a large overworld with lots to explore, and plenty of nooks and crannies hiding treasure is a definite plus. I got through the first dungeon, and while it wasn't especially intricate, it was competent. On the downside, it has a number of bugs, which while not game breaking, do severely impact what would otherwise be an enjoyable experience. It also suffers from short repetitive music and sometimes unfortunate sound design choices (like the snake room). And, it completely lacks controller support, which while again not game breaking, really is strange, given the type of game it is. If even a few of these issues are resolved, I will likely switch this to recommended, as this really does have a lot of potential! Update: I have now played through the second, and it was vastly more complicated and interesting than the first. There are some very smart ideas in here, and I think that actually these things outweigh the bugs and weird design decisions. So, give it a try!
Great game, the creator takes feedback and makes the game better with each update. The controller support makes it ace. Keep up the hard work!
I can recommend the game to all fans of classic action-adventures. Pro: + The Dungeons. Many puzzles are quite simple, but fun to solve. Some switch puzzles require a good sense of orientation in the dungeon. + Graphics and music remind of the good old classics of this genre. + Many secrets in the game world + The developer's support is fast and great. I encountered a bug and it was fixed in no time. It doesn't get any better than this. Cons: - The hitboxes of some enemies sometimes don't feel right. However, you can deal with that after some time. - The dungeon maps are not that helpful. - There is no world map. 9/10 - I highly recommend it.
A charming game for those looking for an RPG to explore! I enjoyed the world and the characters, the quests never felt like a chore, and I can't wait to see where this story goes! Also, I may be a little too excited about using the bombs in this game haha!
The Good: A decent sized Zelda-like world, fun dungeon design, reasonable difficulty, some good music/jingles, a nice pixel art style, and overall pretty fun gameplay. The Not-So Good: I've ran into a few glitches, including ones where I got stuck in a spot and couldn't move. Fortunately, I could reload the save and get out of it. Some of the combat can be a bit janky. This is a pretty good game and scratches the Zelda itch I've had. I got it on sale and it's pretty fun. I'm happy to give a review. Thanks Tom.
Very fun dungeon crawler!
One of the best games I've played but I've been stuck at the big castle... ugh...
Fun and down-to-earth zelda-like with active dev support even 1 year after it's release The developer is extremely determined to fix any issues with their game and their passion for player enjoyment shines through
Such an excellent game, I loved all of it. Got stuck on a few bits, as it should be. Brilliant attention to detail, great puzzles, beautiful graphics, this guy is a genius. Double thumbs up!
I love playing games that I can sit back and relax and enjoy the game play. If you like Zelda-like games this is the game for you. I had an issue and contacted the developer and Ed fixed the problem right away! Keep up the good work looking forward to more games from Ed Gaming.
