    Due to the great graphical style, I can still imagine Swords of Ditto as a nice family adventure in which parents play with their children together.

    Swords of Ditto is a really cute dungeon crawler with pretty simple yet challenging game mechanics that will hold until the very end.

    Despite a repetitive level-design and an obvious lack of a proper scenario, The Sword of Ditto is both lovely to watch and to listen to. Nicely paced and crafted, it’s even better when played in coop.

    The Swords of Ditto is a great adventure, a stylish mashup of 2D Zelda and roguelike games.

    Cute and relatable, and very enjoyable in small, perfectly formed chunks. Much like each new Sword of Ditto!

    The Swords of Ditto is charming, humorous, and fun to play. It's not the biggest game, but its generation-crossing story makes you feel like you're a part of its world's history.

    Familiar, lightweight but almost impossible to dislike, this is an effortlessly enjoyable action RPG.

    A charming Roguelite that offers more challenge and secrets than it initially lets on.

    It blends Zelda with roguelikes, but manages to add some elements of its own. If you enjoyed Enter the Gungeon or Crypt of the Necrodancer, you should definitely check The Swords of Ditto out. [07/2018, p.83]

    The Swords of Ditto is a colorful and charming little roguelite adventure that is just delightful to play. Outside of some reservations about the forced time limit restricting our exploration, the game is a lighthearted and fun time either alone or with a friend.

    As it is, it’s a lovely, fun game that too frequently reminds me of its mistakes. And despite that, I want to keep playing. Which is probably rather important.

A Zelda clone that isn't bad with a beautiful art style and a similar 'end of the world' countdown Majora's Mask had attained. The game can be a little bit repetitive and doesn't really attain anything new or something that will make it stand out. A unique twist in the game, a nice story and a world of beautiful art styles that can make anyone go 'awwww'.… Full Review »

There is no problem in quoting from the great games such as Zelda games, but this game copying Zelda in everything. Even in the events in the story, the story of Zelda was transferred and made it worse. This is just a poor version of Zelda: Link Between Two Worlds

    It seems to be a "happy family" kinda of game with nice looks but it is not only tedious but also swarmed with bugs on the Mac version. It's unplayable! Taking from the Steam community comments it also appears to be barely playable on Linux because of the huge amount of crashes and bugs. I do not recommend it.    … Full Review »
