Tunic is an isometric adventure and action game that comes to us
from independent developer Andrew Shouldice and published by Finji.
Tunic made available this month on PC and Xbox as a temporary
exclusive to these devices, and it is one of the games of the independent
developer that has caught our attention since its unveiling and it is time
to introduce you more to this unique experience.
The events put you in the role of a young fox that awakens on a strange
island with many question marks about your goal and why you are here.
Tunic tries to tell the story through a very limited number of suggestions and words.
It will give you an idea of what is happening, as the adventure begins, you will find
a few pages of the “game guide” that used in a beautiful way to explain the events.
The game uses a beautiful artistic direction that uses many bright colors in depicting
the environment and characters in various details. This beautiful direction is
accompanied by a set of diverse melodies that It will accompany you throughout
this adventure in a wonderful mixture that will remind you of many classic experiences.
The game does not take your hand and does not explain the next step or
the appropriate way to overcome the obstacles you face. The game guide
is your only way to know the steps that must followed and will initially
provide you with two basic tasks to start and then you must collect the pages
of the guide through exploration to know the next step and the guide is
an essential part From experience, it informs you about how to use some
elements of the environment and how to develop your abilities and solve
some puzzles. It also contains maps of various regions. These maps will be
very useful to know your location and inform you about the types of enemies
in the surrounding environment.
The gaming experience is very simple and limited to movement buttons,
a button to avoid and run, with a defense button and 3 buttons that can
be assigned to weapons or resources that can used such as food.
And some secrets that we will let you discover, the mixture that the game
offers from its beautiful world and the simplicity of the gameplay with
the mastery of its application makes it a boring experience and makes
you feel thirsty to explore to know more details and get more abilities
that will allow you to return to previously inaccessible areas.
It can said that the game has two main sources of inspiration, as it inspired
by the composition of its world and the abilities and secrets in it from
the Legend of Zelda, and the difficulty and challenge in battles inspired
by the Dark Souls games, while presenting the battles in simpler versions as
we mentioned with providing a save point to which you return whenever you lose,
Many enemies require familiarity with their simple attacks with the appropriate
timing of the attack and in this game great importance given to the stamina
counter. It is very easy to lower the counter if the nature of your combat is random
or lacks strategy, and you will lose easily if you underestimate your opponent.
The game offers a number of boss encounters that perfectly balance the challenge
and difficulty and depends on you polishing your skills and your ability to make
use of your resources as required.

In addition to the main content, you will find that the game world is full
of treasures placed in front of your eyes, but it requires a secret passage or
a specific trick to reach it. It is also full of secrets and hidden treasures that
you will not find unless you start to look closely at the surrounding environment
and the connotations that hide it. The game contains some minor negatives.
The difficulty may They unbalanced in a limited number of areas but they
are basic areas to overcome and we found that some of them were unfairly
filled with enemies or exaggerated challenges, the other negative is that
the isometric design of the game can sometimes make it difficult to
understand the location of certain passages or exits Inside the rooms,
but these negatives do not happen often as we mentioned and will not
spoil the experience for you.
We finished the game in 11 hours focusing on the main missions and after
spending more than 15 hours we still have a lot of secrets to discover and
many puzzles to solve and during this adventure you will remember some
classic experiments that required bringing paper and pen to record solutions
and solve puzzles! Tunic is a great experience that relies on some traditional
ideas but adds its own touch to it with an excellent application and a number
of new ideas. It is a great experience that we recommend to all adventure game lovers.
