Secrets of Temple Isle

Secrets of Temple Isle feels like the kind of game I would have been completely obsessed with during the Nintendo 64 era. The visuals have that chunky, colorful 3D style, but the game itself feels playful rather than simply trying to imitate the past. Exploring the island has been genuinely fun so far. Combat is simple, the world is easy to understand, and there is enough going on to keep me curious about what is around the next corner. Buying your own house and being able to decorate it was also a really nice surprise. It is a small feature, but it gives the game a bit more personality. It still has some rough edges. I ran into a few minor visual bugs, including one after the first boss where the objective arrow continued pointing toward a key I had already collected. Nothing game-breaking, but it is the kind of thing that could use another polish pass. The UI could use some work too, especially the item menu and the way information is presented. Mission text can overlap in places, and the map interface can become a little messy. The information is there, it just does not always feel organized as clearly as it could be. Controller support was probably my biggest issue. Moving …

A breath of fresh air game with puzzles, combat, adventure and exploration. It's open world story driven with nostalgic like graphics if you enjoyed playing the OG tomb raider. I also LOVE the plants and overgrown foliage everywhere. Makes me feel like I'm in a nest.

This is such a delightful story line! Game play mechanics are well done, working seamlessly. I love the retro graphics!

Nearly 10 hours in and I'm really enjoying Secrets of Temple Isle. There is just so much to explore and find in the game. It has a slight Roblox/Lego look to the graphics but don't let that put you off as there is so much more depth to it. Really good fun.

Good exploration based game, it's mostly dungeon crawling, but it has overworld too and it's not that small one, you can even buy houses and decorate them freely. There are toooons of hidden places and secrets, so it's enjoyable to check everything, because for finding all important secrets in each dungeon/dungeon room you get Exploration Token. It can be used to purchase very powerful gear. Complaints would be mostly that game has some bugs, but don't be afraid, developer is helpful and fixed some of bugs even in few hours after I reported them here. Another is that I'd be happy to see in next game or maybe DLC magic or active skills which would make combat more varied.

Enjoyed my time with Secrets of Temple Isle, I could feel the inspirations that the game takes such as Tomb Raider and in some cases Legend of Zelda. It felt like playing older PC games that I had growing up but with much better controls. The lack of music was kind of odd when initially playing but in a way I kinda enjoyed it while exploring dungeons, but having some kind of music for things such as boss fights would be a great inclusion. Unfortunately had random crashes happening that I believe is happening due to my setup but I would still recommend the game as I've reported them to the developer and having conversations with the dev I get a strong feeling that they care and I'm sure these issues will be smoothed out
