I kinda wonder how much of the fun I had with this game came from actual enjoyment of the game itself and not because of the insane amount of nostalgia I have for this game.
As license games of the era of late 2000s early 2010’s go it’s probably one of the better entries. It does nothing really spectacular, it’s pretty much just Zelda 2 but with much better control, maybe too much backtracking at times and a Adventure Time spin. The game is probably way too easy but I remember the game killing me a lot when I played it as a dumb baby so maybe it’s just easy enough for kids and too easy for adults. The best aspect this game has going for it however is how well the game translates the early seasons of Adventure Time into game form. The game still has that weird barely logical humor the show was known for at the time while also having all the writing feels very snappy and funny even for a depressed adult like myself.
Even if you didn’t grow up with Adventure Time like I did I still think you’d get a pretty fun Zelda-like adventure game out of it even though the game is only 6 hours long. I had a great time going back down memory lane replaying this, I still have have super fond memories of playing this game on my old aqua blue 3DS and not understanding what I had to do or where to go, the good old days when the only video games I played were Nicktoons Globs of Doom and Shrek the Third the video game. It’s kinda nice to know that not all the garbage licensed crap I played as a kid was terrible.
