The Sacred Acorn

The game world is varied and interesting to explore. The art is cute and has some very cool character designs. There is a decent selection of abilities and the combat has a good rhythm to it.

Cute, challenging, rewarding. The Sacred Acorn is a deceptively adorable adventure that balances nicely between relaxing environments and tense encounters. With a warm art style and varied environments, there's a lot to love while you power up your squirrel and take on increasingly tricky bosses. The Sacred Acorn is a great game to kick back with some headphones on a quiet Saturday afternoon. My biggest complaint is the guilt of having to watch poor Ima kick the bucket because of my timing mistakes!

A wonderful art style, tight controls, and a rich game world that rewards exploration. Exciting to play and watch making it a great choice to stream! Top it off with very well excited boss fights! I'm excited to play all the way through!

This game has a great and has a really smooth feel to it. This game will test your ability to play any soul-like game by having to dodge, attack and heal to defeat bosses. You will meet some really cute characters and grow to love Ima the Squirrel. I love the hand drawn art in the game as well. I can't wait to see how this game evolves over time. This is definitely a game I would recommend to anyone who likes fast paced adventure games.

- Very cute artwork and setting - Feels like a top down Hollow Knight - Pro tip, dashing can work like a dodge - Live your magical squirrel dream

An awesome game with cute characters, an original artstyle and Hollow-Like gameplay. I found myself exploring every corner of the map to leave no stone unturned for hidden upgrades or secrets. The boss fights are not too difficult, they are just challenging enough to enjoy without frustration. The devs are active in responding to community feedback about bugs and gameplay issues and are quick to patch any of these issues as they are brought to their attention. As an early tester for this game, it is amazing to see how much it has grown and how much has been added since the early playtests. I applaud all of the hard work that went into this game and highly recommend giving this game a go.

As someone who's coming from a place of impatience and reluctance when it comes to souls-like games, I wasn't sure how I'd fare with The Sacred Acorn. But safe to say I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it so much! The art style is cute and cozy, perfect for the theme of games I mostly stream, and I felt genuinely invested in the battles (I didn't end stream 'til I beat the mushroom boss). I thoroughly enjoyed the music which added to the atmosphere, especially during combat, where I found it to be simple but efficient! It wasn't painstakingly difficult to figure out how to fight the bosses, nor did I feel frustrated with the controls-- in my case, it was just a matter of timing. All in all, I highly recommend the game and am excited to continue exploring the world, upgrading my abilities, and fighting more bosses! 🤎

This is such a cute game, and tricky too! Keeps me engaged and motivated to continue; there's always something new to discover!
