A tribute to 2d Zelda games. It lacks some polish (explained later) but feel this was fun to play.
The storyline was simple yet satirical. For not being serious, I enjoyed it. The dudgeon's and caves were great if doing the main storyline. They have also mini dudgeon's - bigger then caves - called 'portals' which was a nice bonus to receive upgrades.
The puzzles were fantastic, artstyle was spot on and the over-world was fun. The main issues I had were:
- The bosses (especially in the bonus dudgeon's) were waaaay too difficult for me. The puzzles and enemies are well balanced, but the bosses were so tough it broke emersion for me. If they had 20% less health it would be balanced to the core game
- The dream world, I did not like! It was less about puzzles solving and more on frame perfect moves, not what I consider fair In stating my issues, I loved the final boss in the main storyline. One of the best boss battles I have played period!
If you 'git gud' and can beat the bosses onslaught in the main campaign you can have great fun adventuring
