    Some of the critic reviews don't paint a very good picture. Some compare this game directly against the most ambitious and successful titles in the history of the genre. This game was developed by a tiny company and it is their first attempt at such a game. Although sometimes buggy, they have made improvements since release. I enjoyed this game immensely and cannot wait for a sequel. GameSome of the critic reviews don't paint a very good picture.

The key is understanding what this game is as a product/ It's a stepping stone toward something great. There is a lot of potential. I strongly feel this was a great first attempt by Cardboard Keep. I can't wait to see what they do with this IP next.… Expand

    The biggest thing holding Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth back is its reliance on old school sensibilities that might push away new players or frustrate people who didn't enjoy the likes of Zelda and Banjo-Kazooie, among many other titles. It does offer a lot of its own charms, though, and they are among some of the best reasons why this developer's first game should be in many peoples' Steam libraries. This is a thoroughly recommendable indie purchase for any and all Golden Era gamers.

    More time to polish would have done a lot of good for Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth. More art, maybe another spirit friend, and better combat could have pushed this game much closer to a “must buy” category. As it is, you’re better off waiting for a sale unless you really dig the art and premise.

    Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth promises a lot with it's homage to the N64 era of action-adventure games, unfortunately it falls short of the prestige associated with that era. What we're left with is a clunky game that glitches quite regularly, there's still potential in the future, but the game needs a lot of issues fixing.
