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 might be a flawed, blatant rip-off of Zelda, but it’s worth playing — especially for the originality it does introduce.

I don't care what platform we're talking about, this game is SOLID. 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.

Obviously 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.

A long and enjoyable experience that launches a promising new series while raising the bar for 3D adventure games on iOS. It might be overly nostalgic, but Oceanhorn still provides some of the richest gaming to be found on the App Store. [Issue 1, February 2014]
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.
Oceanhorn may not be as clever as Nintendo's series in its dungeon designs, and few games are, but the sense of exploration and discovery makes it easy to recommend on its own merits.
A little more spit and polish on the mechanics, and the confidence to build a game around original ideas rather than sitting in the shadows of giants, and it could create a classic of its own. For now, this is a fine calling card.
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.
It is realy gorgeous game Fun gameplay fun combat beautiful visuals.Optimisation is great on iPhone 4s works wery fluid .On iPad 4 game works great .This game is like zelda for mobile devices 10/10 one of best ios games ever made

for a mobile phone game, its amazing. But compared to an actual console game, i feel the scores wouldent hold up as well as it is right now. NOT saying im not enjoying it, im loving it! thats why i gave it a 7! But its a really simple game in my opinion, not very difficult and very beautiful.
Compared to Zelda, mediocre, but as its own game. Amazing.

A really nice looking and sounding Zelda clone, but unfortunately full of cliches, the levels are quite boring and the same, and the combat's not that good. Hope that the sequel will be better. A bit pricey for a mobile game that's a blatant clone...

I just started the game and have found a glitch in bomb island... I am stuck in some sort of loop and can't escape. 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..
