They always stand in the same formation and there is barely any variety, most of the time it is the same enemies in the exact same location. All of the supporting cast feel incredibly wooden and two dimensional, the other guardians lose their season crystals after getting drunk on fruit juice at the meeting and forgive me for spoiling but we are introduced to a prince character who looks like a complete jerk but acts like a real sweetheart, until he suddenly turns on Ary and betrays her and I felt my intelligence be greatly insulted.Ĭombat isnt too bad, but if NPCs stood around too still than the enemies are even worse. There are some well-designed towns to visit, but none of the buildings can be entered and people just stand like statues so they just feel like placeholders. However, while the main mechanic is undoubtedly interesting at its core, everything else feels like an unfinished mess. ![]() The concept is actually pretty brilliant to be honest and its really cool seeing a winter wonderland suddenly turn into the middle of the Sahara at the press of a button.

Something you’d find at a Kmart in generic brand packaging.Īry is a young girl from the village of Yule where she lives with her parents, her brother has gone missing and is feared dead and her mourning father is unable to hold his duty as the Guardian of Winter. ![]() But in those cases the games at least changed up the formula enough to make it their own, Ary and the Secret of Seasons however doesn’t feel like a clone, it just feels like a Zelda Knockoff. I’ve played many games over the years that could be charitably described as “Zelda Clones”, games like Okami, Beyond Good and Evil and even Darksiders were heavily influenced by the long running series. ![]()
