legend of zelda skyward sword

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword unveils incredible trials Link has to undertake
to find Zelda, who mysteriously disappeared just when Link passed his flying on bird exams. Link has his own bird that carries him when he wants to leave his home on a floating island.

Link has to go through trials and with each trial he manages to get closer to finding more about Zelda. We find ourselves traveling through various dungeons. Each dungeon is completely different. Starting with Farron Woods we proceed to Skyview Temple, Eldin Volcano, Earth Temple, Lanayru Desert, and Mining Facilities. In Lanayru desert we reach Time Temple where we can revisit remnants of the mysterious past.

Each dungeon ends with its own boss, who holds the key to finding Zelda. The remake of The Legend of Zelda Skyword Sword HD allows for camera movement and motion controls that help in situations such as battles or when standing over high slopes where we can glance underneath.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword has incredible music and memorable features that are part of various environments such as sinking sands in Lanayru Deserts, hot lava in Eldin Volcano, and tricky passages in mines. These features represent at times obstacles that we need to overcome or puzzles that have to be solved to proceed. All this represents a truly immersive experience.

There are various side quests such as when Link offers to find a missing daughter Kukiel. He has to come back to the Loft, where he can replenish his resources, improve weapons and receive strengthening potions.

The first version of The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword was released on Wii. The remake of The Legend of Zelda is playable on Nintendo Switch.

Fire Emblem Engage Review

fire emblem engage

Fire Emblem Engage is part of the Fire Emblem series set around the Middle Ages. Fire Emblem Engage is set on a continent called Elyos, where we have to save the world. As Alear, we need to collect Emblem Rings that are then used to defeat Fell Dragon. Each ring can enable certain abilities of the person that has it. Fire Emblem Three Hopes preceded Fire Emblem Engage a year before. It was set in Fodlan and is in the style of hack and slash game.

Fire Emblem is an RPG simulation game series with tactical and role-playing elements. Fire Emblem Engage differs from its predecessors File Emblem Warrior Three Hopes and Fire Emblem Three Houses. Tactical elements involve weapon selection where they should counter their respective qualities such as swords should be used when battling axes. The story in Fire Emblem Three Hopes is quite engaging and doesn’t require the knowledge of the content in Fire Emblem Three Houses. The main protagonist Shez is at first defeated by Byleth, but saved. It is important to increase abilities to be able to win battles.

Fire Emblem Engage is more about the tactics and skills of the team that are crucial in defeating the enemy rather than deeper relationships, as dialogues tend to be brief. We discover our characters more on battlefields than during their encounters. There are still the same rules that apply in combat such as that swords defeat axes, axes defeat lances, and lances defeat swords. We need to develop our characters to achieve a higher class to enable winning battles. We battle enemies and creatures with swords and sorcery. As combat is more important, weakness in weapons need to be eliminated. Alear needs to fuse its soldiers.

Nintendo developed Fire Emblem Engage for the Nintendo Switch Console.

Along with his new friends he learns about SPECTRA, a program that is used by Vandalay Technologies as an AI mind control. Chai and his friends engage in freeing people controlled by SPECTRA and then destroying it. Chai has also various skills such as magnetic abilities.

Hi-Fi Rush is all about maintaining the rhythm during battles while solving puzzles, as well as fighting enemies, including robots. The rhythm ensures that battling becomes effective. As music is a big part of this game, our musical abilities such as following the rhythm play a big part in whether we can succeed in more difficult parts of the game although enhancements in Chai’s abilities play also an important part. The music genre in the game is mainly rock, but it doesn’t detract from engagement even for those that prefer other genres. We need to find various solutions that also test our abilities that may involve dealing with moving platforms.
