The game is like Zelda but with a lot more rpg elements and a lot of interesting systems, there is also a lot of shortcuts that you can unlock around the world before you get the teleports, i just wish the game lasted a little longer. There are 2 problems with this game, i didn't find a way to play with only the controller, there are tabs in the vendors that you are required to go through that i wasn't able to go on the controller, you'll need to use the mouse to click on those tabs so you can buy the keys / spells / armor. And lastly, the achievments are bugged, the ones for killing bosses / learn all skills popped just fine, but the one for the map stopped tracking at around 20%, the maxing all guardians and almost drowning didn't work at all, so if you want to platinum this game, you'll have to resort to steam achievment manager. Still, the gameplay is pretty good, and for this price, it is very much worth it
配乐好,玩法也很喜欢,难度适中。最后给指南里给出汉化方法和xbox手柄适配方法的大佬怒赞。
bah c trop bien
Xanadu Next is an odd game to me. Its very simple and honestly very generic, but it does what it does excellently. And despite its simplicity, I don't think I know of another game which manages such a pure vision of fantasy in both aesthetics and gameplay. If you've played any of the first 5 Ys games or like ARPGs or like fantasy games in general, I cannot recommend this game enough.
Muy buen juego, lastima que esta en ingles, tiene buena musica y una jugabilidad adictiva, ciertamente lo recomiendo...
在2023年玩起来感觉非常有魂味,流程解密很适合学习,不过这个游戏的数值设置还是法老控的老味道,攻防值和伊苏一个味道。
Stumbled across some screenshots of this on Twitter, thought it was beautiful visually, and bought it on a whim during the Summer Sale. Super glad I did because it turns out this game is a real hidden gem. An obscure spin-off of an equally obscure series developed by Falcom, the devs behind the Ys series. All games I've never played and know nothing about. But thankfully none of that matters, this game is entirely standalone and pretty easy to pick up without knowing anything about it. Mechanically it's a pretty simple action RPG: you strafe around enemies and then click on them to attack in melee. You can equip a large variety of spells and weapon skills ranging from a 360 sword spin, a fireball, or summoning the power of death itself. Nothing feels too groundbreaking here, but Falcom does everything they set out to do incredibly well. The level design was the big standout to me, dungeons frequently interconnect with each other, or require Metroidvania-esque item abilities to progress, and loop in on themselves like a Souls game. I'm really trying not to call this a "proto-Soulslike," but the level design and rhythm of the combat are very reminiscent. The game definitely peaks in the first three quarters of the playtime, with all the cliche colorful fantasy environments and recolored enemies to imply a greater challenge. Then, after about 12 hours, you will reach the final dungeon. The final dungeon (which everyone greatly exaggerates the size of) is a confusing labyrinth of gray stone, and an unintelligible mini map makes it all sort of get tangled up in itself. It's not bad by any means, but it's very different than everything before it. Some people might bounce off the game there, but personally I loved it. Felt like a high fantasy brutalist megastructure. The final boss is a tad disappointing unfortunately, though his fight is quite tense, and the story ends with some major dialogue plot explanation dumping. Makes me wish there was a direct sequel to this game honestly, though that'll never happen. Overall I really recommend this game to anyone looking for a dungeon crawling action RPG with some good build variety and simple mechanics. It's deceptively difficult at times and really satisfying to get a hang of.
