Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth

Once you accept and get past the jankiness of this Zelda-Collecth-a-thon hybrid, you have a pretty enjoyable game with quite a bit to do and find. If you're a fan of nintendo 64 and gamecube era adventure-platformer games, it's a game for you.

Honestly just really bad for too much. The game is playable, but really buggy. Don't be fooled by the supposed "low-poly" graphics, this game gives my computer with a 2080 a fever. Not really particularly fun either, just boring as hell. For 20 dollars this game is a rip off. I bought it for 5 from a physical CD code and even that's too much. If you ever manage to get this game for one or two dollars that's the most I would ever pay.

Zelda-like structure brought down by middling puzzle, janky physics, and some of the most tedious broken combat I've ever experienced. Paired with meaningless collectibles and arbitrary weapon degradation. Don't know if the dev is still alive but I do think if they try again with more polish they could make something good, but this outing is a pass.

Fun in concept and like the style but the game is quite slow and clunky. definitely needs a lot of polish. The battle system feels like it still needs work before it feels good to play.

I believe in giving everyone a second chance, so I reinstalled this ....game. Wardern is without a doubt, the worst Zelda rip off to date. A combat system that is at best broken and at worst unplayable. EVERYTHING about this game feels like a failed high school students project. It's so clumsy in execution that it's truly unplayable.

This game has no way of remapping controls and the sensitivity/camera inversion settings are global to both mouse and gamepads. I wanted to invert the X/Y and A/B buttons so that I can swing the sword with the A button and dodge with the Y button (or shouldn't it be X instead?) and the game crashed and it also crashed Steam along with the game. I wanted to remap the shield from the Ctrl key to the C key for easy reach, but that cannot be done. That requires me to stretch my left finger in my left hand down to the control key and I can't keep the rest of the middle fingers around the WSAD keys that easily. The shift key is easier to reach, but alas, I requested a refund for this game due to serious accessibility issues and for flat-out hard-coding the controls in the game. This game is half-baked. Buyer beware.

A very cute 3D platformer in the style of the older Zelda games. Well worth playing. I played with an xbone controller and had no issues with the movement, combat or camera. The game is relatively short but it doesn't waste your time backtracking through areas too much and doesn't feel padded for length as many of the old-school games were. The lighting effects from your torch are effect and really add another layer to the exploration aspect of the game.
