    This game is loaded with secrets, has some surprisingly difficult moments, and GORGEOUS visuals. That sounds like Zelda to me, and for a game that pays much homage to the Zelda series, it looks like this developer got the job done right.

    The secrets often feel like Fez if Fez was done right. There’s many paths to take and many of the unorthodox ones are hidden in plain sight but easily
    This game is loaded with secrets, has some surprisingly difficult moments, and GORGEOUS visuals. That sounds like Zelda to me, and for a game that pays much homage to the Zelda series, it looks like this developer got the job done right.

    The secrets often feel like Fez if Fez was done right. There’s many paths to take and many of the unorthodox ones are hidden in plain sight but easily missed if you haven’t traveled down them before. That makes replaying the game a joy.

    the visuals can get very bizarre which is very refreshing. The interesting creatures that inhabit this land are a sight for sore eyes. They’re also just beautiful. The soundtrack is very fitting, the gameplay is simple and sweet, I could go on but I’d like to get back to playing more Tunic.

    Given this is an indie game, its an amazing achievement. An excellent hybrid of zelda and souls. Its a tough game, but also has great accessibility options. Would highly recommend, don't let the idiots review bombing this title result in you missing out on this little gem.

    The game is a work of art. Doesn't even look like an indie experience as it's execution is perfectly done. Gameplay is smooth and the secrets unraveling is just so rewarding it makes me want to play the whole day, nonstop!

    asombroso indie, una combinación entre los Zelda de antaño agregando elementos souls, combates exigentes con una buena dificultad, un mundo esperando por ser explorado y secretos que hallar, además de que la estética es impresionante, bellísima, un juegazo con todas las letras.

    Jogo maravilhoso. Eis a razão pela qual crer na qualidade de um jogo que é avaliado pela média é arriscado: a sensibilidade da média a valores extremos. A média termina por não representar bem o conjunto, pois valores extremos puxam (no caso) para baixo excessivamente. Na média dos jogadores comuns 14 dentre 22 avaliaram com ZERO o game. Isso evidentemente puxou a média muito para baixo. OJogo maravilhoso.

    This game is challenging, that's for sure... But in a good way. The graphics have a wonderful art direction, and the music is fantastic. People who want to just mindlessly play a video game, stay away. This will make you think and focus. I absolutely love it.

    Tunic is a great game with fun exploration, challenging combat, chill music, and a whimsical art style. The game is not handholdy and is a must play for any fan of Zelda or Souls type games. Don’t sleep on this one

Its a game that keeps you guessing and yet enamoured throughout nothing like defeating a boss by pure luck that gives you a chill of satisfaction. Expand

    I never played zelda and I just recently get into some souls like games.

    For the souls like aspect of the game I can just say that its a hard game where you need to block and roll to survive. Besides that it has the same sort of level design where you find new shortcuts and ways to traverse the world. The only thing is that this game is much more forgiven than dark souls and does not

    For the souls like aspect of the game I can just say that its a hard game where you need to block and roll to survive. Besides that it has the same sort of level design where you find new shortcuts and ways to traverse the world. The only thing is that this game is much more forgiven than dark souls and does not punish your death as hard as dark souls will do. (SO NO FREAKING WALK 5 MINUTES AGAIN TO FIGHT THIS BOSS EACH TIME YOU DIE!)

    The way how the game explains everything to you the player was by a guide book where you will find pages for. This is also the only way how to figure out where to go and its amazing. It leaves a mystery for the player and something the player can discover by just reading it. That is also where the game shines the most as it does not want to explain things but you need to find the way yourself.

    9/10 for this unique little game and do not believe what the people here say with a 1/10 as that is certainly not the case.

    I LOVE the art style in this game. Downloaded for my kids but ended up playing all the way through on my own as well! Really makes you think about what you're doing. I also thoroughly enjoyed the music. It just really all fits well together. Highly recommend.

    Very good Zelda light game I love how they make you figure out the foreign language and give you a sense of discovery the lock on system could be a little better a little more variety of weapons but it's an amazing game if you are into Zelda or deaths door like games! I highly recommend gorgeous art style!

    Don't be fooled by reviews saying this game is a mobile rip-off Zelda, far from it, it's a very unique experience nowadays for those who are not into Souls kinda games, it's simple in its mechanics but complex in the way you have to implement them to progress story.

The game doesn't tell you much, but that's part of the charm, you have to explore, deduct and think to get puzzles done, nothing is handled to you and that makes it rewarding. As always I recommend you watching some videos before jumping blindly into it unless you're certain it's your kind of game, if that's the case you're in for a good time. Expand

    Tunic is a fun little game that will immediately remind you of classic Zelda games on the Nes and Snes consoles. The game is just a joy to play for both young and old. If you are one of those that enjoy classic Zelda type gameplay with a cute little fox, the go ahead and give Tunic a try.

    A charming indie game, combining both The Legend of Zelda and a few souls like elements to create a cute little world that anyone can beat thanks to the accessibility options available from the start. The art direction and general feel of the game are top notch for me as well, and while the game can be tough at times, it feels like a rewarding journey throughout.

    Tunic is one of those games that won’t let you go until you see the credits rolling. It’s insane, what Andrew Shouldice and his small team came up with and how much lifeblood was poured into this action adventure. Definitely an indie title you should not miss.

    Tunic demands all of your attention to experience its world and mysteries as intended. Fortunately, with excellent world design, fun and diverse gameplay and extraordinary ways to keep you interested in what to come next, it truly deserves that investment and focus.

    TUNIC is both an incredible and incredibly frustrating title. The combat lets down what otherwise is a masterpiece.
