Zahalia

Game belongs in early access. EDIT Dev put out a patch this AM. [quote]Patch 1.01 Released 4:56am Patch Fixes Include: *Dungeon entrance deleting spawn fixed ...[/quote] It has not been fixed. /EDIT There are 2 repeatable instances I've found were exiting one world space for another (e.g. when entering a dungeon or cave) will send you right back to the beginning like you just clicked on the games desktop icon but you still have to restart to get the player character to appear on screen. One quest line is to find all the 'brothers'. Think cave dwelling hermits. One such brothers response is "I am error." Quest breaker? Who knows. A couple other quest lines appear to be to get all the health power ups and another to get all the mana power ups (or whatever they're called). With 2 dungeons not working, another quest(s) breaker? Random bugginees such as nonrepeatable (but frequent) Fatal error screens, PC (player character) freezing when hit (game restart needed) or just going from o...

Zahalia does a good job capturing the appeal of games like the original Legend of Zelda. The secrets are useful and actually findable, the dungeons take some effort, there is a healthy variety of enemies to spice up the combat, and the puzzles are by and large logical.

I bought this game on sale, so I didn't spend much money on it, but I am still disappointed. I looked forward to it because of its old-school look, a game mechanic like Zelda and for the easy achievements. However, I can't recommend this game at all and will elaborate on the negative parts. - The key mapping is a mess and not intuitive at all. For example: I couldn't close the options menu without closing the entire game. - Text from NPC: "Press [S] to interact with something. Press [F] to interact with something." Interact with what? At first nothing happened while [Space] could be used for interactions. Later I found out that the keys let you use health and mana potions respectively. - No key re-mapping which is annoying when you use a QWERTZ keyboard and attack is [Z] and magic is [X] by default. Ok, rather a minor point of annoyance but still annoying. - Whenever I closed the game - for some stupid reason - I always went back to the starting point and had to backtrack to the area ...

Played it for an hour and a half. One of the dungeon doors reset in the second cyrstal dungeon after I saved and quit for the night, permanently screwing over my file. My second run I found a secret passageway that just sent me back to the title screen and then made my character disappear upon starting up that file. Only fixed by completely exiting out of game, and this bug was easily replicated. Achievements don't activate, even after a supposed patch. I know it's a cheap game, but man this sure makes me leary of this developer in the future. Don't bother. Simplistic Legend of Zelda clone that couldn't pass QA. Get what you pay for I guess, not really worth anyone's time right now.

Zahalia is an extremely badly made ripoff of The Legend of Zelda (copyright Nintendo, 1986). To date, it's unclear whether Nintendo have taken any legal action against the "developer" to preserve their intellectual property rights. It's a very buggy (to the point of being unplayable) 2D retro pixel top down brawler slapped together with GameMaker Studio, so the developer chose pretty much every way one could fail at game development and ran into them headfirst. It gets worse. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, whi...

Dont even think about buying this... Not even basic stuff is working correctly

Saw a Mixed overall review, decided to give it a chance anyway. Finished it in a few hours and proceeded to add it to my list of favorite games on Steam. It's not a perfect game, but it's exactly what I wanted it to be.

The game is very easy but still fun I might get the sequel. After reading the comments I'd like to mention. The game is no longer full of glitches. Use an Xbox controller as I never got the keyboard to work. I also did I find a keybindings menu.

neat zelda 1 knock off.

The game is a fun Zelda clone, and the devs have recently made some fixes after a long spell off. I have switched from a negative to positive as the game is pretty fun for what it is.
