A Knight's Quest Brings 3D Zelda-Style Adventuring To Switch Next Week

Looks pretty decent. Might wait for a sale though.

@NintendoByNature It's got an early adopter discount of 20% on the pre-purchase.

I'm not a zelda fan though since I got a switch lite I've been wondering if I should give it a go, however the price point held me back. I guess I'll give this one a go instead and see if I like the style. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

@IceKoobs I just saw that on the eshop thank you. With everything to play, I might hold out still. Plus, a review will be welcome.

I've never even heard of this but it looks pretty great!So many games to play already plus some on pre-order I really shouldn't but..I think I'll be buying this too.

I'm interested. Will see what others say on release and then wait for a sale to natch the early bird price.

Looks cool, once it goes up for sale I may check it out.

I'm just really curious if there are games that doesn't look "zelda inspired" or "zelda styled" to nintendolife staff members...

@jERS I’m glad you said this. This game doesn’t remind me of Zelda at all, and I think making automatic comparisons to it kind of puts too high of a standard on the game, and thus could potentially create a bias review.

@jERS

Total agree just seems that ever game that comes out reminds them of zelda! Most of them Don t remind anyone else of zelda just the staff at Nintendo life.

The art style, character design, music, etc., just aren't grabbing me. Combat and puzzles appear derivative.

Kudos to the dev team for giving 3D a go, but unfortunately it seems difficult for indie devs to pull off 3D gaming without feeling bland. Just from my point of view, the current standard for indie 3D gaming is N64 level with cartoonish art styles.

With such a gluttony of indie games on top of name-brand developers all competing for your money, these days the only thing that will make me pull the trigger on an indie game is if it impresses me with a lot of character.

If it reviews well I’d definitely be interested.

Don't care much for the main character, but the gameplay looks decent enough. Might try it when it's a bit cheaper.

This looks cool!

So lately every adventure game with puzzles is a zelda copy/inspired apparently. Yet the producers of zelda already said they used inspiration from other Rpg's for their game, but no one mentions that

@Muriustar I wouldn't use this game as a test for whether or not you'll like Zelda, you'll only be let down if you do. I would suggest buying a copy of BotW on the secondhand market, that way you're getting the real deal but not paying the full asking price.

Why does every action-adventure platformer have to be inspired by Zelda? This game seems too platformer focused to compare with Zelda, since this game looks like it plays similarly to old school PS2 platfomers. A better comparison so far would be ratchet and clank or Jak and Daxter in the hacking and slashing, hop and bop category, meanwhile the only thing Zelda inspired I can point out in all this is the time manipulation skill. I'm sure there's more to see soon, but it's really not that similar to Zelda in my eyes.

I personally got more of a Ratchet and Clank vibe from the style of the game, minus the guns. Definitely not much Zelda feel to me.

The gameplay looks fine, the main character looks too generic for my tastes.

But if I'm bored, tired of my backlog, and it's on sale...maybe.

Literally any indie game

NintendoLife: “Is this Zelda?”

@IceKoobs Sweet. I think I might pick this one up then!

Game looks great.

the powers seem interesting but i want more information on how it performs as a platformer, the combat looks decent enough if the platforming is good it could be a unique experience... for me atleast.

@Ulysses Well the fact that all games made now are derivative anymore because all has been done already is not a good excuse really. This game looks like it could be on par to be a great game regardless. If it isn't for you then it isn't for you but to cat it off as one of those that took something from here or there well all games do that. There have been no new ideas for video games for quite awhile now hence why we have so many freaking remakes and remasters. None the less it is what it is. The video game industry just like the movie industry did years ago ha hit a original idea wall.

@Dirty0814 Movies, video games, animation, music. Every form of entertainment has right now hit a brick wall in creativity and the only way I see some of these games or anything catching the interest of the people again is to make the art style very eye-catching and unique.

I get more of a Vexx vibe than a Zelda vibe. Man I miss Vexx... would have loved a sequel.

@Dirty0814
"If it isn't for you then it isn't for you but [you shouldn't] [cast] it off as one of those that took something from here or there [because] well all games do that."

Well it's fully up to you to decide what to spend your money on. But for me, accepting something for being same-y just because everything right now is same-y isn't good enough.

This looks good. But I was burned on a $30 digital game so depending on price, I'll only go physical.

There is a sword - Looks like Zelda - Nintendolife

I'll give it a try.

I like the look of it, will keep this on my radar for a physical, then will grab it

Lol, they even made him left-handed.

The platforming bits reminds me more of Darksiders....which was also supposed to be like Zelda, but...ehhh...

Excellent-looking game, but highly generic hero. He looks very "cheap" or mobile-like.

That said, i'll give this a go.

I actually really like the look of this game, I just hope they tell a good story with it. It kinda looks like rusty goes to a forbidden place and touches something that releases evil on the world and then he has to right his wrongs...

Looks pretty cool.
