Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King Review (Super Sexy Soap Turtle 🐢)
The game is heavily inspired by the zelda series, which is evident in its combat, music, and somewhat similar story. However, It not only fails to capture the charm of the legend of zelda, but tries so hard to mirror the legend of zelda that it fails to carve its own identity.
The constant narration from the characters outside of the story made it hard to get immersed into the world, or even care about it. The music is also bare minimum, with some tracks so generic and uninspired that I'd rather listen to music on youtube while playing, and others being mere remixes of the zelda games.
I could only stomach playing the game for an hour before I found myself so bored I had no interest in continuing.
Do you wanna know what made the zelda games (especially link to the past) so much fun? Getting to feel like you're taking part in an epic adventure in a beautiful fantasy world full of mystery, with music that set the tone for each part of the world. It didn't need constant narration from characters outside of the world. This is NOT possible, when the game constantly reminds you the story is being told by a grandpa to a couple of kids.
I'm not saying someone out there won't find enjoyment in this game, but I just can't. I tried to like this game, but it has no identity. Its just a knock off zelda without any substance or improvement on the game its trying to mirror, and for this reason I cannot recommend it.
