Title: Neutopia
Post by: Peluso8 on July 05, 2008, 01:11:18 AM
I've always been a huge Zelda fan, but usually not a big fan of Zelda-clones because most of them are just not as good as Zelda.
That being said, I am at the 4th Labyrinth in Neutopia and I really like the game a lot. The game is very polished and a blast to play. My only gripe is the difficulty which I hope gets notched up a bit as I go along since the game has just been too easy so far.
Can't wait to finish and play Neutopia 2.

I agree. Very fun Zelda clone and could be a little harder.

Well, that's the best one on the GBA. Minish Cap gets WAY too into collecting crap.
Anyway, I've beaten both Neutopias and, while I like them, they certainly aren't the best Zelda clones. They are entertaining on their own but everything feels lightweight. The way your character knocks back when hit and the various sound effects all lend an atmosphere that nothing in the game actually weighs much. Maybe that's just me, though.

No, it's not just you. Rastan Saga II also suffers from this flaw: every enemy is as stalwart as a over-inflated balloon. This prevents any visceral satisfaction whilst kicking ("popping") butt in the game.
In Neutopia, the protagonist is doomed with this fateful quality.
I still dig Neutopima, though.

Buster Bros was the first game I thought of when making that post. Strangely enough, I don't find Buster Bros to have that same "popping" feel as other games, the bubbles feel to meaty for a loud, quick pop.

I recognize 3 out of those 4 games; what's the last one? (the other 3 are good to great; I may have to pick it up, whatever it is)

A meaty pop, eh? I agree, the Buster Brothers sound effects do the gameplay justice, but now I have images of meat balloons floating in my head, and it ain't pretty.

Neutopia is my favorite Zelda clone. What I loved about it from the first time I played it is how faithful it is to the 'original' while adding the perfect amount of next-gen aesthetics.

Well, the Neutopia games are much better than the second Zelda, that's for damn sure! :-k

Well, it's just my opinion. I personally liked the first game better than Link. It's all good.
