Oracle of Seasons is both equally fun and frustrating at the same time.

Using the same engine as Link's Awakening, both of the "Oracle" games were developed by Capcom's Flagship branch.

Each of the two games have their own gimmick, and for Oracle of Seasons, you are able to control the different seasons to solve puzzles, and there is a strong emphasis on combat when entering the dungeons. The seasons gimmick wasn't nearly as fun as I hoped it would be, but it made for a few solid overworld puzzles.

Speaking of the overworld, that was where the game got confusing. The game hints and tries to point you in the right direction, but sometimes it involves doing things that would be very hard to figure out without a guide. However for dungeons, they tended to be pretty straightforward and fun, offering nice combat challenges.

Overall, Oracle of Seasons is a nice little game, but has a few flaws that frustrate me to no end.
