The realm of retro RPGs has been dominated by the JRPG genre lately, thanks to Kemco's prolific releases and the occasional roguelike dungeon crawler. However, fans yearning for the classic experience reminiscent of the SNES era and the legendary Zelda franchise are in for a treat. Enter Airoheart, a charming action RPG set to launch on iOS and Android on November 29th.
Airoheart proudly embraces its Zelda-inspired roots, and this is not a criticism. With its beautifully crafted pixel art, fast-paced gameplay, and familiar top-down exploration, it's poised to delight those nostalgic for old-school adventures. In this game, you step into the boots of Airoheart, embarking on a quest to thwart his brother's nefarious plans. Your journey will take you through the enchanting world of Engard, where you'll harness the power of the Draiodh stones to prevent the release of an ancient evil that threatens to engulf the world in darkness.
On-the-go actionThere's a timeless allure to the simplicity of classic adventurers like The Legend of Zelda. Despite being before my time, the top-down perspective, vibrant graphics, and straightforward combat hold a special charm. Modern throwbacks often come with new twists that, while enjoyable, can detract from the core joys of a pure adventure experience.
