Ittle Dew

Here is my review for Ittle Dew: This is a top down adventure game which follows in the same vein as a classic Legend of Zelda game. You walk around in square rooms filled with monsters and puzzles. You either kill enemies or push blocks onto switches to unlock the doors. This allows you to progress into next room and continue the process. There are three items you can collect: a fire sword, ice wand, and teleportation rod. This can let you solve puzzles in different manners and allow you to reach the final boss. The rooms are structured to allow multiple solutions depending on which items you have available. It is not required to collect all three items to beat the game. The story here revolves around Ittle Dew, a girl with her fairy fox companion. You wash ashore on an island containing a giant castle. The shopkeep will repair your raft if you bring him an artifact from the final boss. You agree (as you have no other option) and venture into the castle. You kill girls in animal costumes and smash everything in your way. You encounter the big bad... and it's the shopkeep. He got bored being on the island so he built a puzzle castle for folks who wash ashore. You trounce him, he's sad, and you agree to let him go on your adventures together. You then sail away into the wide blue beyond. Overall, it's a decent little game if you enjoy the classic Zelda formula. I think this would probably be best nowadays as a telephone game you can play on a commute. Otherwise, there's no real reason to play this over better adventure games.

Un Zelda-like accessible, pétillant et plein d'humour. J'adore !

I played this game a long, long while ago already, and now I decided to replay it, to see if it will live up to my memories of it. It did, so here's a review. Let's get over the potential cons first, because some of these can be dealbreakers for a lot of people. - This is a puzzle game, first and foremost. Don't expect a lot of action or fighting and whatnot, there are very few exceptions. And it is a block-pushing puzzle game specifically, so if you find those tedious and boring you probably shouldn't buy it. Don't come into this expecting something similar to the original The Legend of Zelda games. It was inspired by them, sure, but it's clearly different in a lot of ways. It's closer to Sokoban than Zelda, really. - It's short, with its sequel being longer while costing the same. 2-5 hours to fully complete a savefile, 15~ hours to get all achievements. - Tank controls on anything other than keyboard. Both setting up a gamepad's controls and using it is tedious, from what I heard. - There are some bugs. Not exactly game breaking ones, but there are some. For example, this game hates being opened in windowed mode on my PC, with everything but UI becoming black screens. Now the pros! + The artstyle is charming. The characters are just adorable and are very memorable, and the game looks so lively and full of personality. + The humour is pretty funny. The deadpan jokes and overall mood will probably crack you up at least once. A little edgy at times, too, thanks to Tippsie being an [strike]alcoholic[/strike] avid potion enthusiast and enemies from the Swamp... existing. Oh, and almost every character has a pun in their name. + Very clever puzzles and versatile tools which compensate for the few items the game has. Some rooms really make you think outside the box. + The music doesn't distract from the thinking, and is pretty catchy. The Castle and That Cold Place themes are ones that I especially liked, they play in my head from time to time. + Somewhat nonlinear. You only need two of the three items to finish the game, though getting all of the collectibles and hearts, and clearing optional content (Compost Crypt and The Master Cave) still requires all three of the tools. + Secrets! Ranging from simple optional shortcuts to... something else! That's up to you to find, though, isn't it? :P I may be a little biased, since I played this game a long time ago already, but I'd say the pros outweigh the cons by a lot. A good 7/10 in my book.

퍼즐 위주의 2D 젤다라이크 하찮은 그래픽에 속았다가 생각보다 치밀한 퍼즐 디자인에 한번 놀라고 매운맛에 두번 놀람

it was fun and a cool challenge to complete it in <15min

Old but good, similar puzzle to Zelda.
