    Tunic sits among the pinnacle of indie titles and is just as fun as it is cute and colorful. There are an astounding amount of secrets to discover in the game and, once you’ve found everything, you can easily play it again and again to do things in a different order using your knowledge. It’s a delightful experience that I just can't get enough of.

    Tunic is an absolute gem of a game. The combat is exciting without being overly difficult or frantic. The exploration feels organic without dragging on for too long. The dual inspirations of The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls complement each other, and the isometric viewpoint makes it feel fresh when compared to other titles inspired by one of the aforementioned games. The time needed to knock out the campaign feels just right, while still naturally encouraging you to try another run to see all of the game's secrets. With no real negatives to speak of, it feels only right that Tunic occupy a spot in the library of any adventure fan.

    Tunic is an isometric action game where players take on the role of a small fox on a big adventure in an unforgiving world. It might look cute, but it is far from soft, presenting a unique, cleverly mixed fusion of Souls-like combat and Zelda-like exploration and puzzles.

    Tunic executes the ideas of classic RPGs with such confidence that it’s nearly impossible to not enjoy it.

    There are a lot of interesting and dangerous places in Tunic that offer enough diversity to make the game exciting the whole way through. The fixed camera angle makes it easy to miss hidden areas, such as a path behind a waterfall or a room around the corner, but discovering new sections of Tunic is part of what makes it so fun. The possibility that anything can be cleverly hidden just outside of view makes exploring worthwhile. Tunic is a highly enjoyable action-adventure game that does well in honoring some of the classic titles it was inspired by.

    Tunic desperately tries to recreate the magic of classic Legend of Zelda games, all too often doing so to a fault. It tries to be hands-off and instead leaves the player with no idea of where to go. It wants to have simple combat, akin to something like the Zelda Oracle games, but that approach gets stale incredibly fast here. More than anything though, Tunic left me feeling lost in its mysteries, which I didn’t want to solve out of need or drive, but because I couldn’t bear them anymore.

    Si te gusta este estilo de juego sigue leyendo, es como una combinación de zelda y dark souls, es complejo, lo más curioso es que es un juego hecho por Microsoft, sinceramente no soy muy fan de sus juegos, pero este si me ha gustado, desde que lo empecé a jugar me atrapó, al inicio no te van a explicar nada como un souls, pero poco a poco encontrarás pistas y si eres una persona curiosa, te atrapará, pero si eres de los que quieren que te den todo fácil, mejor no lo juegues.

    Gráficamente no es la gran cosa, su escencia está en la jugabilidad y descubrir el mapa, recomiendo jugarlo en maratón de lo contrario olvidarás muchas cosas con el tiempo, creo que es una gran sorpresa porque no sabía nada de él y me sorprendió al jugarlo. Evita jugarlo con alguna guía, sino perderá el chiste, yo lo juegué casi hasta un 90% hasta que me atoré y tuve que consultar para avanzar, no me arrepiento, me encantó descubrir su mapa y tratar de entender lo que debía hacer.

    I have problems with save bases in this game. I might die once or twice when I encounter a new enemy type, they should take that into account.I have problems with save bases in this game. I might die once or twice when I encounter a new enemy type, they should take that into account. But it's a waste of time and money to have to cross a long road and pass a few minor enemies every time I die. Other than that, it has a nice atmosphere and game dynamics. Expand
