Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... It's not that bad. I am one of those people that can say "I played Zelda games!!!" and sure, I can compare this game and tell you it has some of its features... But otherwise? It's not as fun for me. I don't know if it's just me or ... It started of as fun. Don't get me wrong. But then I met the ghosts and the further I crept... The more I asked myself... "Why am I still playing this?" I also kept trying to lock on to enemies with the boomerang.... Ha.... Ha....... No such thing. I think that younger people, who still have their sense of wonderment and adventure, might get a kick out of this. Or if you just like playing anything that's Zelda-esque. It's cute. The story has it's funnies and I like how it is presented... Therefore... You shouldn't be discouraged from trying it. Especially if it appeals to ya. I just couldn't do it. Not the way things are right now. :> Thanksies!

Can totally recommend the game if you like the gameboy (colour) games from the Legend of Zelda series. Havent played it through yet but will do soon so dont get confused if I "only" have a few hours of gametime. Edit: Took me roughly 7.7 hours as per steam gametime. Since I was a bit dumb here and there, could be a bit less, could be a bit more for some :') Anyway, totally recommend the game. If you are "scared" for the price, wait for a summer / winter sale. It will keep you entertained for 1-2 days or longer, depending on how long you play per day, and it was a nice experience.

It's a competently crafted and cute offbrand Zelda that's good fun while it lasts. For some reason it also has a strange obsession with spamming enemies and making you precisely move through one-tile-narrow paths with no room for error one or two times to many. Oh, and then there's a working-memory-based obstacle in the form of note-playing stones that probably should have been at most a one-time occurance, as it would have better been forgotten. On a brighter note, the enemy spam does give the game some of its own flavour, especially near the end when the enemy land actually features huge camps for the evil army to live in and you have amassed lots of options for items to kill them with. Especially hillarious is the item that can summon a suprising amount of bees to fight for you, even against other bees. And the spin-jump combo is really fun to perform. In general (barring tile-walking rooms), the game get its controls just right: Moment to moment play is a blast and that's what makes me recommend it nonetheless.

Sept. 2024

I wanted this game to be better than it was, yet discovered by the time I had completed it that I quite enjoyed it for what it is despite its flaws. The number one issue is that the dungeons are simply far too long and filled with far too many repetitive, uninspired rooms. I believe the intention here was to create a meaningful attrition challenge, but the game isn't actually designed in a way that's meant to be difficult. If it were more mechanically intensive, the design might have worked, but as it is it just feels like a meaningless slog. If you took one look at the game from the trailer or screenshots and said to yourself, "That looks like a Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past look-alike as an indie game," you would be exactly correct. It isn't as clever as a Link to the Past, there isn't as much to do in it, the music is simply "alright." If I were to write a much longer review, I would simply bury the game in mediocrity and faint praise. But I think that's a bit too cruel. Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is flawed but not unfun. It's a game made for children by an indie studio, not the top of the games industry albeit more than thirty years ago. The story and characters are childish, and that's fine. It's presented as a silly bedtime story, and it lives up to that expectation, hamfisted narration and all.

June 2024

So I really enjoyed this game, but it is so Zelda-like that even Link said "what the ...?" Blossom Tales has plenty of enemy types, plenty of secrets, and some nice big dungeons. It plays beautifully, with lots of weapons for different strategies, and I strangely found myself using bees (acquired during a side quest) as my most effective one. The framing device with the Grandpa works well too. So if you're a fan of top-down 2D adventures, in the form of that famous series mentioned above, you'll like this, but I do hope that the developers' next game - which I'm hugely anticipating - comes with a little more originality.
