I have to admit, this is a really well done zelda-like for the price of a water bottle. If you like old fashion zelda games and don't mind spending a buck for about 30 minutes to an hour worth of game time (you can stretch it to two hours if you go exploring for secrets), you have yourself a decent game here. I hope the developer considers making a sequel that compares to "Ocean's Heart" or "Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King" in terms of content and story cause... I would definitively buy it, and the potential for a pirate theme zelda-like is insane. Anyways, if you don't mind dropping a dollar for a fun, short experience. Go for it. Cheers!
A short and simple zelda-like with a nice soundtrack and two maps to explore. There are a few secrets to find and although i would have liked to find some items that more substantialy impacted the gameplay, i would still recomend this game to fans of short and simple game experiences. Might be nice to get if you want a flash of nostalgia to the old zelda games, especially at this price.
Joguinho topzinhoooooo +__+
Tested onstream and our feedback is: Good start, keep on going. I would increase the movingspeed of the bosses a bit to give them a bit more of a challenge. After all i would call it an homage to the oldschool zelda gameplay but it doesn't feel done yet. Greetings DeusNoxEU
I think the game is actually really good. I just have to say that I was completely shocked when the credits started to roll. My mouth actually opened, that’s how shocked I was. I was thinking the game was just getting started and it just ends. The Good The graphics are very good. It looks like an snes game. The main character looks exactly like a final fantasy character but with a red hat. And the game itself looks like a legend of zelda links awakening-like game. Sounds are good. I’m wondering where they got some of them, to be honest. The game is very forgiving. I died in a dungeon and it put me at the start of the dungeon and game me all my hp back. Also, enemies don’t hurt you that badly. Your start the game with so much hp. Great Ui and saving menu. The Bad The game is too short. The controls feel clunky. Range for your weapon feels short. Conclusion The game has so much potential to be a bigger and better game. Apparently, there was a kickstarter for the game. I wonder if the devs are making a sequel? Well, let me whisper my last goodbyes. I know I know, I’m serious.
0,79€ für 20 Minuten. Kann ich sowas gut heißen? Definitiv Nein Wie andere schon geschrieben haben ist dies, für mich, eine bezahlte Demoversion/TechDemo. Das eigentlich Spiel soll wohl: "The Rusty Sword: Runelock Island" heißen. Die Kickstarter Kampagne wurde abgebrochen, daher wohl der Versuch Geld zu auf Steam einzunehmen. Meine Empfehlung lautet daher: Daumen runter
игра вроде норм. не плохой крон зельды с супер нентендо
Great game! Would of been better if there was more dungeons to go and discover and more to do. Can't wait to see if they add more onto this game. I love dungeon crawler games!
30 minutes de jeu... a ce tarif c'est une démo, je trouve ça un peu honteux même si c'est plutôt joli
Esta bueno. Dura poco pero que esperan por 1 dolar? jajajaja
