\"\"<\/a>The 16-bit Super Nintendo is my favorite game console, and one of my favorite genres on that console were top down action RPGs.\u00a0 These include obvious ones like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, as well as more obscure ones, like Soul Blazer.\u00a0 So when I heard about Elementallis, which takes major cues from 16-bit classics like A Link to the Past, I was all into reviewing that!\u00a0 So in this game, you live in a world inhabited by elementals.\u00a0 Your parents were elementalists who could control the elements, but they got greedy and started ransacking the sacred temples.\u00a0 Now that you are old enough, you befriend a floating elemental creature and go off on the quest to undo the wrongs of your parents.\u00a0 You\u2019ll explore a big overworld and tackle dungeon mazes, acquiring elemental powers to help you defeat enemies and solve puzzles.\u00a0 The game is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

In the game, you move around in all directions in top down fashion.\u00a0 Use a button to swing your sword to defeat enemies, and other buttons to pick up objects or interact with signs and talk to people.\u00a0 In each dungeon you\u2019ll pick up a new element for your creature to use, and each one has different uses.\u00a0 The fire element lets you shoot fireballs to burn plants.\u00a0 The nature element will let you grow vines to climb, and water will encase you in a bubble to act as a shield and you can walk on water while inside. And there\u2019s more to discover, too. You can also find other items to help you out and upgrade your equipment as well.<\/p>\n

So yeah, this one plays A LOT like A Link to the Past.\u00a0 So much so that I\u2019m surprised Nintendo didn\u2019t sue (you know how they\u2019ve been nowadays).\u00a0 One thing I have noticed, though, is that this game is a bit harder.\u00a0 The enemies take a few more hits, puzzles are trickier, and secrets are more hidden.\u00a0 But so far it\u2019s still doable.\u00a0 You\u2019ll just die a bit more and need some patience.\u00a0 Other than that, the only other problem I can see is that sometimes goals and objectives aren\u2019t as clear as I\u2019d like.\u00a0 But otherwise, I\u2019ve had a fun time adventuring in this game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elementallis is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Blood and Violence.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t really noticed any blood, but you do hit enemies with your sword and magic and they just disappear in a puff of smoke when defeated.\u00a0 But because of the high level of reading skill needed and the difficulty, I\u2019d say this one is best for older kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
