    If there is only one game you buy all year than Oceanhorn should be it, especially if you love those classic Nintendo adventure games.

    Oceanhorn is a stunningly beautiful action-adventure game that borrows some of its best ideas from Nintendo's Zelda series. However, it's so well executed that we didn't mind the homage.

    Even if you only get up to three iOS games a year, make sure this is one of them. There are hours upon hours of content to play, plenty of islands to explore and monsters to fight.

    The beautiful, adventurous, and lengthy Oceanhorn is a strong stand-in for The Legend of Zelda on iOS, but don't expect it to top the real deal in any respect.

    Oceanhorn is not quite original, but has enough character to stand alone. As a matter of fact, there aren't many games that reach this level of audio-visual fidelity. Every self respecting handheld adventure gamer should pick this up.

    Though it's destined to forever squat in Zelda's shadow, Oceanhorn acquits itself on its own term as a flawed but heartfelt tribute to a beloved series.

    Unfortunately, Oceanhorn is not the Zelda of smartphones, but just a sufficient adventure game, unable to grant a solid gameplay and a compelling story. It's great to look, that's for sure, but not so fun to play.

Compared to Zelda, most games (especially mobileObviously this game begs to be compared to Zelda therein lies its blessing and its curse. Compared to Zelda, most games (especially mobile games but even many console games) aren't even in the same league. If you take this game for what it is and what it accomplishes, it's the best action-adventure RPG available on iOS. Compare it to Zelda, and it'll score similar to most good games. Puzzles are simple but fun. Combat is good and the exploration element is great. It also changes the Zelda formula a bit with a leveling system that upgrades your character. The graphics speak for themselves (amazing), and the controls work as well as one can expect on a touch screen. The music is as legendary as its composers. For $8.99 this is a great game! It should take most people at least 15 hours to reach 100% completion.… Expand

The music in each area is well-suited and epic, the graphics are eye candy, and the controls work well. Exploration keeps me coming back. Gameplay is straightforward most of the time, but there isn’t too much handholding. For no IAP and no ads, this game is definitely worth the $9 price tag.… Expand

My bombs kept trowing instead of placing in the south where the 3 wood boxes are. Now I can't get out .. :( very disappointing as this game is $9.99 and I haven't even begun to really play.. Otherwise I was enjoying it..… Expand
