Last week, a quaint little indie title called Kamiko released on Nintendo Switch. At £4.49, it's currently the cheapest title on the console – and it's worth every penny.
Just a glimpse at the game's artwork and trailer tells us that this is a retro-inspired homage to The Legend of Zelda. Hell, even the game's icon on the Switch's dashboard looks eerily familiar:
Sword-wielding fighter? Check. High vantage point overlooking a mountain range? Check. Picturesque blue, cloudy sky? Check.
Kamiko isn't Breath of the Wild, of course. At a mere tenth of its price, it doesn't come close to the magnitude or depth that Breath of the Wild gives us, but what it does provide is an enjoyable romp filled with puzzles and combat that bring back memories of Zelda games on the NES. That's never a bad thing.

RRP, but worth every penny. :smile: If you enjoy this, also check out the developer's previous titles Fairune (3DS, Vita) and Fairune 2 (3DS).
Oh, and before any comparisons to Hyper Light Drifter's artstyle, Fairune was going in that direction before HLD had even started its Kickstarter. :wink:

I think it's cheaper on the JPN account if you can be bothered faffing about, but might be good to learn the routine if you plane on buying any games from the in the future.

Yes but it is a fantastic, groundbreaking and innovative game which is a must have for any gamer. On the switch.
On any other console, it is a mediocre piece of bits and bytes that's hardly worth your time.

Isn't it like an hour long or something?

Short length, small price. The game is designed to be replayed and there's more to value than £ per hour.
