Tunic starts the way so many adventure games do: With its main character, an adorable Fox wearing a tunic, waking up on a beach. The game offers you very little guidance from there in terms of where to go or what to do. The basics will be intuitive to anyone who’s ever played a Zelda game (find a sword and start slashing enemies and grass), but Tunic itself takes a very hands-off approach to the player experience.a b c d Carpenter, Nicole (March 16, 2022).

So Shouldice, who helmed the vast majority of Tunic’s level design, characters, puzzles, animation, combat, programming, lighting, and story, started prototyping a little orange triangle-headed hero who had all the charm of a classic retro protagonist but a set of moves that was inspired by the tumbling heroes of modern Soulslike masterpieces. All that remained was to make a “little” world for the fox to explore…

Retrieved June 5, 2023. Tunic is trying to emulate old-school Zelda, and if you want that experience with a fresh coat of paint, give 2019’s remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening a try. It’s gorgeous and plays like the 1993 version with some much-needed improvements. How long will it last?

About The Game

a b c Priestman, Chris (March 5, 2015). "Why Secret Legend's Developer Left His Job To Work On The Game". Siliconera. Gamurs. Archived from the original on January 5, 2022 . Retrieved March 25, 2023. As well as an incredibly detailed in-game instruction manual that doubles as a puzzle book (or triples as a strategy guide), complete with strange notes from some previous owner. It’s hard to summarize how the manual works in this game without spoiling some of the most interesting puzzles to hit video games in a good long while, but it is dense with information, delight, and mystery. a b c d e f g h Indee (March 16, 2022). "Tunic: Entre Zelda et Dark Souls, une incroyable révélation!"[Tunic: Between Zelda and Dark Souls, an incredible revelation!]. Jeuxvideo.com (in French). Webedia. Archived from the original on January 27, 2023 . Retrieved April 5, 2023. Oh, to put it another way: the success of Zelda means it got codified. You'd approach each new game asking: what's the overworld this time? When do I get the boomerang? Breath of the Wild is one response to that problem. Maybe Dark Souls was in part a response to that too, actually. This game is another response.
