[Reviewing the version from the Fairune collection]
Can't believe they made Hydlide good.
Fairune is an extremely short RPG that plays like Hydlide or the original Legend of Zelda on the NES, the game is really straightforward as there's barely any input required, the enemies are automatically defeated and automatically drain one or two HP for you and fill your XP bar which when leveled up you get to kill new enemies and get more HP. The only actions you can do in this game are to walk and use an item you found via the inventory and that's all, you don't need much for a basic puzzle-action game, some may find this a bit too basic but I really enjoyed figuring out the puzzles and not having to worry much about the combat is somewhat nice, though after a while you'll have to grind a specific type of enemy to unlock another so you can advance onward and it can be a bit annoying if they didn't wanted us to combat why force grinding then?
Other than the unnecessary grinding this game is well made and it's hard to fuck up a 2-hour long game. I do recommend this game for anyone who likes old-school RPG or something more modern like 3D Dot Game Heroes.
