Buy it, but on sale maybe. I want to love this game so much, the artstyle is reminiscent of Minish Cap, the gameplay is a bit like Link's Awakening, but it lacks...something, and a bit of polish with that, though a great leap in what I remember of the Solarus engine. First with the good: It looks good, plays good, the rolling mechanic is a great addition, the items and spells are fairly unique, although there is a complaint that will come with that afterwards. The story itself is nice too, it's charming and the game is cute. Now for the bad: A huge issue in design, a fair amount of spells are gotten too late in the game, the max upgrade weapons just decimate dungeon bosses but struggle against some other enemies, all that to be somewhat flattened out near the end to have more tank-ish designs. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game, its atmosphere and charming aesthetics kept me going, the level design is surprisingly nice, but the balance, and even some of the items a...

its a solid zelda like. ran into a bug tho an lost 4-5 hours due to a game crash. only happened once but still left a sting. i enjoyed it.
Maybe I didn't give it a chance, but I found the battles and monster designs way too basic to be fun, Depends on what your into I suppose.
Really enjoyed the game. If you like old school Zelda type games you'll probably enjoy this. Had it crash a few times when I used steam overlay and lost quite a bit of progress each time, so just remember to save from time to time.
Had an itch to play a nice pixel zelda-like game, found this one and the reviews looked good so bought it on a whim~ And honestly, I'm immensely satisfied. This was exactly what I was looking for :) Controls feel fine, the sound and art is great, the dialog is pretty funny at times~ And the combat is probably my favourite aspect of it. The game is just...fun to play. It feels good to fight things, to utilize the arsenal of weapons/spells you get. If you enjoy the 2d era of zelda games, I highly recommend ^^
This game was the first computer game I ever played, and coming back to it after years of playing other games. I've realized this game is one of the best games I've ever played, I find nothing wrong with the game, even after beating it 3 times. I never get bored of it and I always enjoy it. I hope the game finds lots of good fortune with its great gameplay, balanced abilities and difficulty obtaining said abilities, and the incredible storyline carry's me to play again.
A nice little Zelda like game. The game itself is quite short, it is a bit longer if you hunt down achievement.
