The appearance of Super Mario Run, although for now only for iOS , has opened a door of hope for all those stalwart Nintendo who are sick of playing bad imitations that don't measure up. Another one of those Nintendo classics that fans miss on their mobile is Leyend Of Zelda , but in this case there is an alternative that is up to the task: it's called OceanhornIt is a game for Android very inspired by the Zelda universe that will not disappoint the fans of the classic RPG genre.
Downloadable from the Play Store, in this game you will find everything you expect from the genre: an interface titype 3D map, an epic plot, mix of strategy, story and action We started listening like the father the young protagonist sets off to fight Oceanhorn, a legendary monster, never to return. Now, our protagonist must find the weapons (his father's shield and sword), the charms (his mother's necklace) and the different keys to advance in his search for the monster. In an environment isleño combined with an area of caves, we will be able to test oursword skills as well as our ingenuity when it comes to finding the keys. Accompanied by fantastic music composed by Nobuo Uematsu (also composer in the saga Final Fantasy), we can enjoy free of the first level, but once we overcome it, the unlocking of the rest of the game requires a single payment of 6 euros
Game dynamics
Apart from having quite achieved graphics (within the genre's standards, which has no too many demands), the most interesting thing about Oceanhorn is its gameplay Instead of having a joystick or pad simulator, dragging your finger anywhere on the screen will make the character move in the direction we want . A single hit button (and at specific moments a second button to use the shield) appear inserted in the same screen, with which the interface is fully utilized and occupies the entirety of the screen. We can also use that button to grab objects, such as vases or stones, which we can then throw to our enemies, or we can use them as pesos to activate door opening mechanisms.
The audio is in English but has Spanish sub titles , so no one will have trouble following the story. In addition, the map that can be accessed by clicking on the top right corner leads to a menu to organize the weapons , know the challenges already met and view the objects collected so far. In a curious extra function, we can access the memories of the character, and activate them whenever we want in the form of flashbacks
The experience of the first phase of the Oceanhorn is excellent The rest remains to be seen, but it promises to be a game that doesn't disappoint and makes all kinds of players have a good time.That will make the wait until the real game of Zelda comes out more enjoyable.
