The world of retro RPGs is currently dominated by the JRPG genre, thanks in large part to Kemco's steady stream of new releases. However, for those yearning for a nostalgic experience reminiscent of the SNES era and the iconic Zelda franchise, the charming adventurer Airoheart is set to launch on iOS and Android on November 29th.
Airoheart proudly embraces its Zelda-like roots, and this is far from a criticism. With its beautifully crafted pixel art, fast-paced gameplay, and familiar top-down exploration, it promises to delight fans longing for a return to classic adventuring. In this game, you step into the shoes of Airoheart, embarking on a mission to thwart his brother's nefarious plans. Your journey takes you through the world of Engard, where you'll harness the powers of the Draiodh stones to prevent the release of an ancient evil that could engulf the world in darkness.
On-the-go action: There's a timeless charm to the simplicity of older games like The Legend of Zelda. Even though they predate my own gaming experiences, there's something inherently appealing about their top-down views, vibrant pixel art, and straightforward combat. Often, modern attempts to revisit these classics introduce new mechanics that, while interesting, can detract from the core enjoyment of straightforward adventuring.
