A Must Play Zelda Clone Game

Do you like Zelda games? Especially the GBC ones? Well, this game is for you.

Nora's Tale reminds us of the old Zelda games and is focused on dungeons and puzzles. You get your sword and shield, and the best part of it, you can upgrade them. If you are not satisfied with the upgrades, there is an armor which can be upgraded which can change your look in every upgrade.

There are three dungeons in total, with each of them needs a specific item to go through. Each items will be obtained as you progressed to the game and recently obtained item will be the key in some boss fight. Each bosses has their own attack patterns and weakness, which make them unique and challenging.

In each dungeons, there are different puzzles which you have to solve. You have to go through rooms to reach the boss room, plus there are compasses(which shows your location) and maps(which shows minimap of the dungeon) which is pretty much like the old Zelda games. You can find heart containers, and if you are low on health, you can heal yourself with a potion.

Although the gameplay is great, don't expect too much with the story. There isn't really much to it, and because of that, there are very few dialogues, which is good to those who play for the sake of clearing dungeons.

The graphics itself reminds you of the old Zelda games, with a GBC like dialogues and a better graphics from the GBC Zelda games. The music matches very well with the graphichs which will takes you back on old GBC games.

Despite all the good thing, there is a bug which will crash your game when you swing your sword sometimes.

Pros:
- Varied boss fights
- Varied puzzles
- No grinding
- Minimal dialogues

Cons:
- Sometimes crashes when swinging sword
