This quest seems like an Isle of Rebirth lite, and not just because of the tileset choice. Though the storyline here is beyond an afterthought, and the quest is very short, the clever use of puzzles and meticulous dungeon design made me enjoy it.
Goods:
- The overworld is small, easy to transverse (plus, there are warps), and there's enough secrets littered about the overworld to keep you interested.
- The block puzzles, ice-block puzzles, and creative item puzzles in each dungeons are some of the best I've played. Although many of the block puzzles made me think, they are very solvable and I was only really stumped by one.
- The Low-difficulty of the quest makes navigating the expansive dungeons less frustrating, unlike IoR (level 7, ugh) where the dungeons felt downright sadistic at times.
- The dungeon design makes progress through logical, unlike IoR where you often had to remember complex screen patterns and get through a dungeon by magically picking the right way.
- The insta-death floating and seeking wallmasters in the cave between level 4 and level 5 make this phase of the game challenging.
Bads:
- The feather/hookshot jumps over water and lava are tough to get a good technique down for (I wouldn't even try it without a gamepad).
- The purple darknuts in level 5, whose swordbeams you can't block because there's no level-2 or level-3 shield, and who are wildly impractical to try to kill. It was interesting, in a stressful kind of way, to try to solve puzzles while feather jumping over a screen full of manic purple darknuts.
- Bosses were too easy IMO.
- Talking to NPCs reveals a poorly edited script as far as grammar and typos go. There's also very little useful to be garnered from talking to NPCs.
Overall, if you're after a quest with interesting dungeons that have a cerebral feel as far as puzzles go, you can get a solid 8-hours of gameplay out of this.
