Under The Island

Really nice little retro-Zelda-like with nice art, pretty fun combat, and some good puzzles. Doesn't take itself too seriously. I had a great time with this one!

Wow, this game is amazing. Truely. If you love the original Zelda's or just enjoy 2D action/adventure games, you'll love this. It's a crime that not nearly enough people know about it - yet. It needs more promo and marketing!

One of my all time favourites is Zelda - Link's Awakening, I'm playing it once a year since I got my GameBoy with 12. This was the first game that gave me a similar feeling without trying to copy it, in fact it felt utterly fresh. You can really see the love that was poured into making this game in everything: How it' designed, the amount of places and mysteries you can discover, the characters and animals. The dungeons were fun and creative and the bosses were a very manageable challenge. All in all I had a very good time and bonus love for treating animals right. I already know this will become an all time favourite and I'll keep recommending it.

Pretty solid 8-9 hours of classic style dungeoneering with a heck of a lot more hidden goodies for completionists. Also, cat god and hockey sticks.

Fun little adventure, enjoyed it a lot

I follow the lead character artist on Instagram and was thrilled to see this husband/wife collaboration come to life. The retro gaming stylings hit all the right marks and references to classic JRPGs abound (e.g. Legend of Zelda and Chrono Trigger). The art and music are excellent and the gameplay is well-balanced between story progression and treasure hunting and mini games to upgrade gear and abilities. I took my time enjoying this game but, as others have noted, the main story can be completed in about 10-15 hours. Overall, an enjoyable RPG throwback, best enjoyed with a bowl of noodles, hot tea, and a cozy blanket.
