I want to play this Zelda-like. The music and graphics are enjoyable, and the story is reasonably fun, but the controls are driving me bananas. At first I legit thought something was wrong with my controller. Maybe I'll come back to it, maybe not.
I found the opening to be very charming.
O jogo é, como experiência geral, péssimo. Não tem como dizer que ele é todo ruim, realmente, ele tem pontos fortes como o visual bonito e os diálogos divertidos, porém, estes não compensam as partes ruins.
Para começar o combate é super monótono e nada intuitivo, na verdade, o mais empolgante do jogo são os feitiços mas não há quase nenhum para se aprender (com 12 horas de jogatina e explorando cada canto do mapa que eu encontrava, só adquiri 2).
Porém, sem dúvidas, o que mais irrita é a falta de paredes invisíveis nas docas e em qualquer lugar que tenha água. No início do jogo você fica "nossa, que legal, nunca vi um jogo assim" mas depois de cair pela septuagésima vez no mar e chegar no boss com sua vida pela metade tendo de gastar todas as suas comidas que são ABSURDAS de caras, o jogo passa a ser INSUPORTÁVEL. A impressão que tenho é que a gameplay não se garante em um combate realmente interessante e difícil e quer te fazer perder toda a sua vida caindo idiotamente no mar para que você não passe facilmente dos bosses.
E além de tudo, o mapa é preguiçoso, o que, em minha opinião, num jogo sobre pirataria, marinha e velejar, é imperdoável. Ele te guia até certos lugares, de fato, mas é melhor você ir gravando desde já os nomes das cidades e onde elas ficam, pois o mapa só mostra os nomes das regiões.
E se, pelo menos, a história fosse boa para compensar... Mas não, é apenas mais uma história genérica que não te da determinação alguma. Eu estava ansiosa por esse jogo já que o visual me lembrou dos Zeldas antigos e eu sou muito fã da franquia, porém, depois de 12 horas torturantes de jogatina posso confirmar que joguei dinheiro fora pois eu não vou zerar esta merda nem que me paguem.

Very cute and cozy game to scratch your old Zelda itch with. You can tell the amount of love and effort that went into this, and it makes for a very comforting ride. I think it shows most through the dialogue, which never failed to make me smile at the very least, as well as the pretty graphics and overall art design, along with the area, city, dungeon and puzzle design. But although i loved the puzzles and the places the game takes you to, i have to admit i sometimes found myself losing my sense of direction and wishing there was something like a general map of each area, or a way to map your surroundings in detail yourself. Another downside is just how prone you are to fall into the water, and it gets frustrating real quick. Aside from that, i never found the game hard in the slightest, but being able to cheese your way through it with no real tension might also be a downside to some. Not to me, so i find the game really delivered a cozy and gratifying little adventure, making up for a great experience.
My recommendation is not exactly flying but i would say it is a fun Zelda-like title, that is overall enjoyable to complete. It's a very nice setting and the characters and writing is fine.
It's pretty standard 2D adventure game look, but it has it's charms.
I like the fast travel system and the map. There is a pretty good amount to do besides the main storyline and the combat is fine, pretty standard.
Now for the negative stuff...
1: I personally feel like this is a controller game, but it sometimes doesn't feel like it was properly mapped out on it. Just to preface this by saying i played this on the switch first some time ago and got it on steam, and it controlled fine on switch but on PC it was kinda clunky. My left stick kept spazzing out when i was sifting through the menu, so i had to use my keyboard to pick items...
I hate that the dodge and interact button is the same, please no.. just use any other button. Also can we just not have it so you get stuck in NPC's that are moving around? thanks.
2: All the combat is easy and then gets stupid easy as you get all the upgrades. Salt candles should not be as OP as they are... You can just throw 1-2 of those at any bosses and whack them a bit and then they die. Also you can literally just damage tank anything since you get a stupid amount of health really easily and you can also just open your menu and heal instantly while the game is paused. So there is 0 challenge in any of the gameplay. The thing that takes the most brainpower is just figuring out directions, since the "puzzles" if you could call them that are easy too.
Also they copypaste the same boss? mini boss? like 10 times, which is kinda lame, since there is a lot of cool designs that they do use.
3: The music and sound slider is useless. I had them both down at the minimum and random noises was still blowing out my eardrums. Just please audio balance your game.
Still if you like a fun easy game, through a vibrant archipelago, go ahead and buy. I personally would recommend getting it on sale, as it's not that long, even if you do everything.
