    If you're a fan of the original Legend of Zelda and don't already own the vanilla Ittle Dew 2 then Ittle Dew 2+ is a must-buy adventure that's bursting with charm in a vibrant, memorable, and puzzle-filled world.

    Ittle Dew 2+ is a fantastic 2D Zelda style experience and is a well worth your time, puzzle solving can be difficult at times but the charm and presentation will be enough to keep you going until the fantastic conclusion.

    Ittle Dew 2+ is a fantastic game. On a console with a library full of wonderful indies like Shovel Knight and FAST Racing NEO, Ittle Dew 2+ stands among the best of them. The Switch version commands a $10 premium over the PC version but it also adds five new dungeons, a worthy addition in our opinion. Ittle and Tippsie's adventure is charming and funny, and embraces the spirit of exploration from the series to which it pays homage. If you're looking for the next great indie title for your Switch library, look no further.

    Ittle Dew 2+ charms instantly with its open-world freedom, challenging puzzles, and constant snark. With the 2+ added dungeons, there’s plenty here to have you hunting for secrets for hours if you’re in the know. But if you’re stumbling through for the first time, you might find the adventure over too soon and too easily without knowing why.

    Overall, Ittle Dew 2+ is a good game with unfortunate flaws. While the puzzle aspect is top-notch, the action can feel a little inconsistent at times. The biggest problem I felt it faced is its lack of dynamic gameplay. Although it encourages you to explore to find hidden items, the game is basically "Go to this dungeon, now go to this dungeon" until the very end. Besides that though, I really did enjoy my time playing and laughing through the quirky story and it's undeniable charm. Sure it's not exactly Zelda, but Ittle Dew (2+).

    On top of the original base game, Ittle Dew 2 + on the Switch has the Dream World which adds 5 new dungeons with their own difficulties to conquer, a new boss, and cards to collect. It's a great way to make a somewhat short game last a little longer. And trust us, Ittle Dew 2 is so charming you'll want it to last as long as it can.

It's funny, has a good art style, nice music and pleasant little puzzles. Unfortunately, there really isn't all that much going on in the game beyond that and by the end I was mostly just rushing through the game to finish it, and I doubt I'll even do that. The excitement just kinda drops off once you've found all of the items and you start seeing the same puzzles repeated with only slight variation. In the end, this game is not really worth the $30 asking price, but if you can grab it for $15 or less, you'll be okay.… Full Review »

    Si eres fan de los juegos 2D de "The Legend of Zelda" te va a encantar "Ittle Dew 2+", éste indie es muy divertido y puede tenerte enganchadoSi eres fan de los juegos 2D de "The Legend of Zelda" te va a encantar "Ittle Dew 2+", éste indie es muy divertido y puede tenerte enganchado por varias horas. Si puedes es mejor tenerlo físico ya que Nicalis como siempre nos ofrece manuales y pequeños regalos que se hacen extrañar en las producciones AAA.
    El juego es muy simpático, los personajes y los enemigos tienen mucha personalidad, sobretodo el acompañante de la protagonista. En general la experiencia siempre es positiva, no tiene la posibilidad de elegir idiomas, pero el inglés se entiende perfectamente.
    Si puedes hazte con él, es un juego muy divertido, ideal para fans de Zelda. La portabilidad de Switch invita a tenerlo en la consola híbrida, el único pormenor son los tiempos de carga de pantalla que duran más de lo que uno puede esperar de un juego así. Punto extra por los regalos de la versión física.    … Full Review »

    Completed the game last night! What a good game! I did not want to put my controller down. It is well done all around in regards to the music,Completed the game last night! What a good game! I did not want to put my controller down. It is well done all around in regards to the music, the gameplay mechanics, the map, the puzzles, the hidden areas, the simple story (but interesting and very funny), etc. The level of difficulty is fair in general, but the bosses are quite hard. You can probably beat the game in 5-6 hours, but it took me 17 hours as I found every collectible items (24 shards, 8 pieces of raft, all the weapon upgrades), completed the 3 optional dungeons and completed the bonus one as well (Tomb of Simulacrum). I even entered the hidden Promised Remedy dungeon and beat the final potato boss (very very hard). I did visit the Dream World and did a few things, but did not complete it. I initially did not like the price, but I have to say it was worth it as I had a lot of content for my money. Ittle Dew 1 was good, but very short and not a ‘‘full one’’ in my opinion. Ittle Dew 2+ is a complete game and I really enjoyed it! I recommend this title to anybody who likes top-down adventure game with dungeons like the 2D Zelda games, Kamiko, Oceanhorn (garbage IMO), Binding Of Isaac, etc. It deserves a 8.5 out of 10 in my book.

    PS I bought the physical edition with the goodies. Props to Nicalis for releasing physical copies with goodies!    … Full Review »
