How it feels

A nostalgic, challenging action RPG with pixel graphics and retro charm, where you explore dungeons and collect items to fight aliens.

What players say

Players call it a zeldalike where a shotgun replaces the bow, split on whether its old-school charm holds up: some love the banjo music and the 4-hour adventure for pocket change, others sour on frustrating controls and a final boss that spikes the difficulty hard.
