The world of retro RPGs is currently dominated by JRPGs, thanks largely to Kemco's continuous stream of releases, with the occasional roguelike dungeon crawler thrown into the mix for variety. However, fans yearning for an experience reminiscent of the classic SNES era and the iconic Zelda franchise have something exciting to look forward to. The charming action RPG, Airoheart, is slated to launch on iOS and Android on November 29th, promising a delightful throwback to the golden days of gaming.
Airoheart doesn't shy away from its inspirations, proudly showcasing its Zelda-like qualities. This isn't a criticism, though. With its beautifully crafted pixel art, fast-paced gameplay, and a familiar top-down perspective, it's poised to fulfill the cravings of anyone longing for a return to old-school adventuring.
In the game, you step into the boots of the titular character, Airoheart, on a mission to thwart his brother's nefarious plans. You'll traverse the enchanting world of Engard, harnessing the power of the Draiodh stones to prevent your brother from awakening a dormant evil that could engulf the world in darkness.
On-the-go action
I always find myself missing the straightforward charm of older adventures like The Legend of Zelda. Even though they predate my gaming experiences, there's something inherently appealing about their top-down views, vibrant, pixelated graphics, and straightforward combat. Modern throwbacks to this genre often come with additional features that, while enjoyable, can detract from the core enjoyment of a classic adventure.
