Azaran: The Demon Bottle

A great little NES Zelda-like! It is only about 3 hours long, comprising exclusively of a few dungeons (which is my favorite part of the genre). The dungeons have a number of puzzles that take a keen eye and exploration - and some out-of-the box thinking. The combat and controls feel fantastic as well, and the minimalist music and art style do a perfect job of creating a fun retro ambiance. There are a couple tweaks I would have liked - more robust settings, save system, etc. And I also had one bug where the game crashed at the final boss, and there was no way to resume without starting over on the third dungeon... but otherwise, a pretty flawless experience. Can't wait for the dev's next game!

pretty fun, puzzles are all good, main item is cool. i like zelda 1

Great little game that plays perfect on the Steamdeck

A very good derivative of the first Zelda, a bit short and it would have been perfect if there were a couple more levels. The soundtrack was ok but could be improved. Most puzzles were obvious and enough context was given beforehand, Looking forward towards the 3d game and maybe a sequel.

Impressive.

Incredibly solid game. Short and to the point as well as being a decent challenge. Plays exactly like a quality NES game should. Very deserving of the 2$ price tag.

Very cool Zelda I inspired game. Final boss was something unique and for that alone its worth playing. Took me around an hour to beat. Looking forward to the full release of the following project by Benji. And to anyone that criticizes the game cause of the puzzles, thats just skill issue. Git gud.

It's a 3 level, 2 endings throwback to classic Zelda but with better controls. You'll probably finish this in roughly two hours. Well worth the pricetag if you're into those old top-down zelda-like games.
