I won't spoil the game any more but this is one of the best Action RPG's in a retro style that I've played for some time that really fits well in the SNES era. I really felt like I was playing a fully retail Action RPG SNES game. Smoke billows out from the chimney, clouds move across the landscape and animated waterfalls. But further to impress are the graphics, with everything being vibrant and detailed. From the initial starting area sounds are varied and life like, with chickens clucking and characters doing daily chores. Onwards to the graphics and sound, and this is where the game really shines, PixelFerrets have really put a lot of work into this game, it looks simply stunningly for a retro inspired game and sounds fantastic. But I suppose this can be more of a feature, with the choice of staying behind to grind away for extra dropped items and raised experience. My only criticism I could find of the enemies were they respawned way too fast, sometimes re-appearing in an instant from my dealing of the death blow. And some enemies need to be dealt with in different ways! Button mashing wont work with some, you'll need to think! Those bee's for example, they need to be knocked back by shield before the final swing can commence. Want to throw fireballs instead of rush? Just go into the character info screen and swap the slots over, it's so simple!Įnemies are also varied in the world, from cute bunnies to bouncing green slimes, each with a different style of animation. Changing between the different combat styles is easily done and can be upgraded through the character skill system when you level up. It works so much like Zelda, with sword to attack and shield to repel enemies. But it's not until you actually get into Grindea you realise just how good and retro this game looks, it's a thing of beauty for SNES fans!įrom the very start after talking to the friendly characters you'll be set with a quest to gather shield and sword for the oncoming battles, and the control system flows really well. From the initial load up you can customize your character, giving him that style to your liking which it gives it that little bit of edge over other SNES titles and really adds to the personality of the game. A game described as an Action RPG that is inspired by the classic Action RPG SNES titles of the past. PixelFerrets was kind enough to provide us with an early teaser for Secrets of Grindea and through most of this afternoon I was giving the game a quick playthrough.
