    This is a fun little zelda puzzler that worth checking out if you're into top-down adventure games. 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 dropsThis is a fun little zelda puzzler that worth checking out if you're into top-down adventure games. 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.… Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

    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!    … Expand

    The game is a really good spiritual successor to 2D Zeldas. My only issue is that is a bit short but it is really good!It is a good price and it does a good job explaining the story and the characters are fun!
    The graphics are superb!

    Unfair dungeons and unfairly tough boss even after you figure out their patterns. Requires pixel perfect precision. For example, in the sand castle dungeon, reflecting back enemy projectiles does far less damage than hitting it with the weapon. Like seriously, does any one in the dev team know how to design a boss fight..

    Ittle Dew 2+ is an excellent, streamlined adventure game full of charm, wit, and challenge. Replay value is aided by the short length of the main content and ability to complete the main dungeons in any order, particularly for speedrunners. On the other end, there's even more optional content than there is main content: you can run from main dungeon to main dungeon in about 4 hours, butIttle Dew 2+ is an excellent, streamlined adventure game full of charm, wit, and challenge.

On the other end, there's even more optional content than there is main content: you can run from main dungeon to main dungeon in about 4 hours, but hunting down all the secrets and completing the optional dungeons can extend a run closer to 14 hours. There's an excellent sense of freedom with regard to how you can squeeze as much or as little out of the game as you want. The combat, while more challenging than Ittle Dew, isn't considerably deeper mechanically, and the plot isn't at all riveting (a casualty of the streamlining), but it's incredibly rewarding to blaze through the campaign at breakneck speed or discover every secret the world holds. Highly recommended.… Expand

    A decent game, but it quickly fell off for me. This game doesn't do a good job at being a zelda clone, it feels lazy and bare bones, even Blossom Tales was better then this.

    Great music, cool graphics, variety of different locations (Star forest, beach, ... ). "The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past" tribute. I enjoy this game a lot.

    A tribute ti 2d Zelda games. It lacks some polish (explained later) but feel this was fun to play. The storyline was simple yet satirical. For not being serious, I enjoyed it.
    The dudgeon's and caves were great if doing the main storyline. They have also mini dudgeon's - bigger then caves - called 'portals' which was a nice bonus to receive upgrades.

    The dudgeon's and caves were great if doing the main storyline. They have also mini dudgeon's - bigger then caves - called 'portals' which was a nice bonus to receive upgrades. The puzzles were fantastic, artstyle was spot on and the over-world was fun.
    The main issues I had were:
    - The bosses (especially in the bonus dudgeon's) were waaaay too difficult for me. The puzzles and enemies are well balanced, but the bosses were so tough it broke emersion for me. If they had 20% less health it would be balanced to the core game
    - The dream world, I did not like! It was less about puzzles solving and more on frame perfect moves, not what I consider fair
    In stating my issues, I loved the final boss in the main storyline. One of the best boss battles I have played period! If you 'git gud' and can beat the bosses onslaught in the main campaign you can have great fun adventuring    … Expand

    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.

    The hilarious from start to finish Ittle Dew 2+ is the best 2D Zelda-like on the Switch.
