Within the modern realm of gaming, there’s a huge demand for old-school inspired action adventure games, and a new indie title looks set to deliver exactly that, while being wrapped up in one of the most charming visuals styles you may have ever seen.<\/p>\n
Secret Legend is the new title from\u00a0Andrew Shouldice and is somewhat of a love-letter to the original Legend of Zelda.<\/p>\n
The Canadian developer has been showcasing the game at the PAX West expo, and what’s even more impressive is that Shouldice has been developing the game all on his own.<\/p>\n
So what is it? In Secret Legend, you play a “tiny fox in a big world,” who begins the game with little more than his own paws to protect himself.<\/p>\n
But just like the Zelda games<\/span><\/span>, the ancient-looking ruins surrounding the plucky hero are full of all kinds of treasure chests and pots full of useful items; near the start of the game, the fox has to bash enemies over the head with a stick, but further exploration will yield swords, shields and other handy weapons.<\/p>\n The game also doesn’t rely on XP or levelling up in the more modern sense, and opts rather for equipment scaling, allowing players to base their play-style on what weapons or abilities they find.<\/p>\n Secret Legend looks absolutely spectacular so far, and while there’s no set release date, it is being aimed for launch in 2017 on PC and likely consoles too.<\/p>\n
