How it feels
A modern retro action-adventure game that feels like a classic NES-era quest, blending colorful pixel art, tight platforming, and a gentle difficulty curve with a sprawling overworld to explore.

What players say
Players praise Heritage as a love letter to Zelda 2 and Shovel Knight, with tight controls and satisfying exploration. The game is challenging in a fair way, though some find the instakill pits more punishing than enemies. A few bugs exist but are actively fixed by the developer.
