    There is another good Zelda-like that is currently a Kickstarter Project and it is called “Elementallis”. It’s basically 2D Zelda with elemental elements. I would like to know your guys’s thoughts of it.

    I decided to give the original Legend of Zelda for NES a proper shot, and I’ve grown to appreciate what it was when it was the only game of its kind, as well as how every game afterwards improved everything the original attempted.
    Edit: And on top of that, when I realized that I could die many times and still have everything I’ve collected, it made me realize the first Zelda game was probably one of the first rouge-like games.

    Great little bite-sized experience. You can play it in one sitting, but the tower ultimately lifts up the experience and makes me want to replay it. Recommended!

  • @Robbie-mw5uu
    @Robbie-mw5uu 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I just finished playing it. I was really surprised at how expensive it was despite how short the game is. There are no towns, no one to talk to. There is no real plot besides reclaiming your stuff and your dog. It really feels like a tech demo. When you finish story mode you are thrown into the Tower mode which has leveling. I got bored at floor 7 or so and just quit. The developer has a really solid foundation here so I think they should have added more content.
    Also I noticed the game update is 77mb, which makes the update bigger than the base game itself. Why is this? Very odd.

    @flickering_wick 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    The tower is NOT a roguelite. It's just an old-fashioned challenge run, much like the 100-level challenges in Wind Waker or Twilight Princess.
    Calling this a roguelite is going to be an unnecessary turn-off for many people.

    • @flickering_wick
      @flickering_wick 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @whycantwebefriends9178 That's like saying the original Super Mario Bros is a roguelite because you start back at the beginning when you die. In a roguelite, some sense of progression/ leveling up is carried over between runs (such as Dead Cells).

      @whycantwebefriends9178 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@flickering_wick i dont really Like the distinction too much, but in rogueLIKE there is no meta Progression. In Mario when you die, you have lifes and there is no perma death. You can even collect more Lifes. That is Not possible in the Tower. The Tower ist a roguelite.

    I refuse to play short games with no content. When i pay for a game with my hard earned money, it needs to be full of stuff to do and be a long experience. Examples are Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest games. Im not saying anything bad about this game at all its just my opinion about what i like. A really good game that is done perfectly is Legend of Mana. You can spend only 20 hours playing the main short stories or for people like me you can truly immerse yourself in the world and spend 500 hours gathering all the game has to offer. I guess what im saying is the short games that are littering the eshop are getting old. Again just my opinion. Play what you enjoy.
