I usually bounce off these "clone" games. This one is clearly taking a lot of its inspiration from Link's Awakening, but its so well made I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Most of these games that call back to the Zelda games of yore get the combat all wrong. It tends to be way too complex and introduce all of the "souls" elements everyone is doing these days. Not this game, it is clearly designed to be exploration first. If you've bounced off of Zelda clones in the past give this game a try. Its really very charming with fantastic art design, music, and characters.

i ended up stumbling across an ad for this game on twitter, and it caught my attention INSTANTLY. i have a deep love and connection to older zelda games, and minish cap was a game i played and loved, but didnt fully grasp my attention. as i was (and still am) a zelda completionist, i didnt like the mini gacha-like feature in it. when i found out this game was a zelda-like, i was immediately in love. since the release, i have played approx 22 hours of gameplay. genuinely was one of my favorite games of the year. i found it really fun to just run around the map and do things, as theres so much to do, but not an overwhelming amount and i think the devs found the perfect amount of balance. i will for sure revisit this game in the future because it IS that cozy and amazing, i truly believe i could play this all day if i had the time. my favorite game mechanic definitely has to be the bird, as you can pick up items from afar with it, but also use the arrow as a cursor to point something out. on a scale of 1 to 10, i will most definitely rate it high, but there were minimal bugs i encountered (not necessarily game breaking) so i will rate it a 9.7 :D also i ended up fully 100%ing the game (i have to fulfill my role as a completionist !!!)

What a gem of a game. So much detail, so much fun, so much to discover without it feeling tedious or forced. I had a bit of a slow start into the game, when you have almost no items and abilities yet but as soon as you’ve got your first one it’s a steep curve of progression and rewards so definitely stick with the game more than 2 hours, it will be worth it! Currently only taking a break from playing because my Steam Deck needs to recharge lol

A MUST PLAY FOR ZELDA-LIKE FANS!! For real, I haven't played such a vibrant, charming game of this style since Minish Cap; if not Blossom Tales. I still just a couple hours in and haven't finished yet, but I'm darn certain I wont be regretting this purchase! Great work, very great work there! I wish you the best with your launch

This game reminds me so much of Minish Cap in every way I could hope for. The pixel art style is vibrant and upbeat, the world is detailed, the characters are active, the exploration is enthralling As of writing this I've completed the second dungeon and I already know this is a game I'm going to find worth revisiting time and time again, it really meets what I want out of this genre. Progression is incredibly satisfying and I've really missed games like this where you can collect upgrades for everything from your weapon to your wallet, where you get an item in a dungeon that helps you solve new puzzles, where every time you unlock something new the world opens up secrets to discover And there have been some pretty fun puzzles, I really like the mechanics introduced by the second dungeon's item. (I removed part of the review here because the spoiler tag didn't seem to work) I'm already excited to go back around the overworld and collect secrets using it I think the world needs more games in this genre and I was so happy to come across this (thanks Jon Cartwright). It's been a blast and I definitely recommend giving it a try
