Great Retro Game

As soon as I started playing I could not put this game down. This game was quite fun and the level of challenge felt balanced, not easy but not brutally hard. I did play this game with a ps4 controller and it felt great with the d-pad. It felt very nostalgic even though it was my first play through. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is becase the controls felt rough at times. For the price it’s definitely worth it.

Great game but needs control improvement

Super fun game, just what I was looking for, but the controls are difficult to use. Movement is up down left and right. But dragging your finger or thumb around doesn’t work, you basically have to constantly lift your thumb up and move it. It’s so hard to change direction. And the other controls for your weapon and up to three other items are small and close together. You often can’t switch between them without looking, and my thumb loses the sense of position so I constantly have to reset my hand. I trigger the wrong item. I trigger no item. Super annoying, especially when winning the game depends on being able to use these items in combination. It takes twice as long to get through a challenge because you can’t successfully use the controls. I hope this developer fixes it, and I hope they make more games! I will buy them.

Hours of fun!

I downloaded this game for a flight so that I wouldn’t get bored. I didn’t realize how long I would be playing! I didn’t find any glitches in my 3 hours that I had played on the flight, and it was pretty smooth gameplay. I would very much recommend if you enjoy adventure games like Zelda!

A really good Zelda-like game

I highly recommend this game with a retro feel. The best part is the exploration. For me the bosses are just the right amount difficult: some put up a really good fight but none got frustrating. There are glitches, but the game is very playable, and is well worth my time and money.

10 stars.

Perfect graphics for my taste and though I play jrpg mostly this is a retro rpg like Zelda that I love to play.
