Shalnor Legends: Sacred Lands

Juego tipo Zelda de los tiempos de SNES. No es mal juego, pero es un poco corto y con poca variedad de enemigos, pero entretiene. Si eres de los que le gusta tener el equipo a tope, te va a tocar farmear un monton para conseguir todo el dinero que hace falta para comprar las mejoras, ya que lo unico gratis que te dan, son los tipos de flechas. Ademas, la unica historia que tiene, es la cuentan unos libros que hay y es bastante pobre. Solo recomendado si lo coges con una buena rebaja.

As part of #IndieSelect I got a chance to try out Shalnor Legends. While being a big fan of old school RPGs I felt the need to try this game. Thanks to IndieGamerChick on twitter, I got a chance to try it. And give a review that is unbiased, so that is what I am doing now. I also streamed the game for a few hours. Basically the background to the game is this. People chose to enter the Sacred Lands in order to be the one to make it all the way through the ordeals. If you enter the Sacred Lands and do not complete the trails, then you are stuck in there until someone else finishes the trails. You have chosen to enter the Sacred Lands. Now you must finish the trials or risk being stuck. The similarities to Zelda: A Link to the Past are striking, not saying that it is a copy. Far from it. Similarities would be the dungeon progression where you need certain items to progress to the next dungeon/mission. Also the rushing and slaying bushes for loot. But Shalnor has a few things that ALTTP does not have. There is a small crafting element to the game. You can create potions on your own with stuff you pick up. You also visit several different people that can craft better gear for you or improve the ones that you already have. While there is some of that in ALTTP this seems more extensive. When it comes to all the NPCs, they all have their own personalities and quirks which makes the game more alive. The controls feels smooth and makes the character easy to control. A lot of thought has gone into the various types of environments it seems to me. If you are a fan of the old school RPGs then this is most definently a game for you!

Game regulary crashes when playing. I am unable to find the reason it just seems like a timed crash. I am unable to play the game for any reasonable time, and has become quite frustrating. I do not recommend it.

Game has potential. But after farming gold for close to two hours for upgrading, I ended up encountering some form that acted as if the game was paused without a menu. I was not able to interact with anything or attempt to rectify the issue. I knew the game was not frozen because anything that has an animation continues to move despite the game being paused (blinking, spinning blades, fairies). I had upgraded my sword almost to max (short of two upgrades) before encountering this bug. I would say if you plan on buying this to save often as the game is riddled with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like this. If I could refund, I would.

Very good Zelda inspired game! I'm playing with an xbox controller and the controls are pretty good. The bow could have been without delay for arrow release though like in the game hammerwatch. There is a decent amount of content in this game and the bosses are fun. I love the implementation of day and night feature. Lots of exploration to do and many items to find. I did not expect much going into this game but I'm pleasantly surprised. A well made game overall. If you're a fan of zelda, you should buy this lovely game.

nice little game
