Oceanhorn ™

I am playing on my iPhone, so other devices may work better with the game. As far as I can tell there is no way on the iPhone to make the character run. Not much help in the game figuring out what needs to be done. It is certainly not what I expected after I played Oceanhore 2 first.

this game is a pretty good zeldalike for mobile. I like the graphics a lot, especially for a game this old. That said, there is absolutely zero sound design in this game, which makes gameplay feel very hollow. There are no sound effects for anything at all. Some of the in-game text references things making sounds, but… there’s no sound. Music still plays at least, but the soundtrack is hit or miss. There’s also no full-size map, which is a weird choice since there’s a minimap.

So much fun but reminds me of legend of Zelda in to many ways and it is so easy to get lost in the game!

The game has a loud, brief audio glitch every 10 seconds or so on iOS 18.1

I have never played a game that crashes so frequently as this one, which is a bummer because I have lost my progress multiple times. I have the newest I phone so that is not the problem either.

Game is enjoyable, but controls on iPhone are so annoying.

So this game looks amazing, like it is really impressive. Like my mind is pretty blown, totally worth every penny. What’s more is it appears that the issue with iCloud save has been resolved which is also amazing. This is definitely one of my favorite mobile games I have played for sure, and I have played quite a few.

As soon as you start the game and try to explore, you’ll notice a repeating stutter and loud sound glitch every 20s or so. It’s noticeable and makes the game unplayable. The game was updated 4 years ago and based off the issues I’m having, it’s clear the game has been abandoned.

This is a great game, which is admittedly not flawless, but very worth the purchase price. I highly recommended this game if you are one or more of the following: -Like a fantasy narrative game with a story and puzzles to work through. -Don’t mind, or even enjoy a blocky, cartoon aesthetic. -Played Oceanhorn 2 (a “prequel” 1000yrs in the past of Oceanhorn 1) and want to make more sense of the, some say “perplexing”, ending. Make no mistake, OH1 is a step down in quality from OH2, but it is still very worth playing, especially if you want to understand the broader world and story arc they’ve created. -Or, from what I understand, if you’re a Zelda fan, you’ll also like this. There are some buggy elements to some of the mechanics that can be vexing at times. Other reviews cover them well enough so I won’t belabor that here. I’m not an avid gamer, with the majority of my experience via mobile, so take this with a grain of salt, but this is one of my top 3-5 favorite games ever.

Well worth the playtime. Took 24 hrs. It is a very good on the go game. I would like not to compare it to Zelda but there is no way not to. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Nintendo should be flattered. If you enjoy LoZ I promise you will enjoy this.
