Ocean's Heart è una simpatica avventura ispirata a Zelda destinata a Switch

The Legend of Zelda inspires a lot of game makers, and sometimes that is very much worn on the creator’s sleeve. Recensione del cuore dell'oceano is one such title that doesn’t hide the fact that it’s trying to give its own spin on Nintendo’s iconic franchise, with developer Max Mraz now teaming up with Nordcurrent to bring the game to Switch – it arrives on 10th February priced at $14.99/€14.99/£13.49.

As you can see in the trailer it adopts a pixelated top down approach, albeit with a take on Link’s now iconic blue garb from Breath of the Wild. It’s been out about a year on Steam and has been well received in user reviews, and it clearly aims to offer enjoyable depth as you embark on the adventure.

Recensione del cuore dell'oceano is a charming pixel-art action RPG set in a spirited world brimming with secrets, C'è una parte di me che vorrebbe aver interpretato A Link to the Past al momento della sua uscita, and perilous affairs. As Tilia, a young girl who’s father has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Blackbeard, you must set off on a treacherous journey through a vast and dangerous wilderness to rescue him, unraveling a web of pirate conspiracies on the way. Gather items along your journey to craft potions as well as expand and upgrade your ever-growing arsenal of weapons, constantly increasing your skills to fight boss adversaries and survive deadly dungeons.

"Recensione del cuore dell'oceano wears its influences on its sleeve, so of course I am ecstatic to see the game come to Nintendo Switch. Recensione del cuore dell'oceano is a love letter to the Legend of Zelda but it also has its own uniqueness that sets it apart. It’s about exploring, and the sense of satisfaction of finding a mystery out there, and trying to figure out what it means," said Max Mraz, lo sviluppatore di Recensione del cuore dell'oceano. “So it lures you off the path by being full of hidden areas that hint at stories and hide new monsters and treasure. After building my vision for Recensione del cuore dell'oceano from the ground up, it’s satisfying to see my game on the platform of its greatest inspiration.

It looks promising, especially as it’s from such a small team – a solo developer and no doubt some contributors.
