I've watched alot of Adventure Time in CN, and I sure get all the Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy, Tales of Symphonia, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda references in the show. I've also played the DS version of "Hey Ice King, why you steal our garbage?" which is a pretty decent re-wash of the awfull "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" for the NES, and I have played the "Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!" for PS3 which IMO is awfull boring. This "Secret of the nameless kingdom" is also a love letter to the early Legend of Zelda games, the gameplay mechanism is similar to the "Link's Awakening","Oracle of Time/Age", "The Minish Cap", the player as Finn (with the help of Jake), has three princesses to save, each princess is in a dungeon, guarded by a Boss. What Finn needs to do is learn some ability who'll allow him to enter the dungeon, those abilities are earned by helping other characters, by getting them some items, after that it's time to explore the dungeon, solve some puzzles, defeat the bad guy(s), save the beauty and earn something in return. In comparsion with the retro sources, the game is too short, and hollow, but it's Nostalgic, the voice over is good (it's not only text, like the previous titles), some puzzles are challenging, and some items are fun to craft, in another hand, Finn's mobility is incompatible with the analog, some movements get stuck in simple things as stairs, or already cuted bushes, the sword movement also takes alot of time to respond, even after you upgrade the character, the background music is repetitive, the enemies variety is short, the lack of quests makes the game also short, and the "Loading screen” time is extensively painfull between stages, rooms, dungeons. Do I recommend you this game? Yes, if you like the early Legend of Zelda games, or the Adventure Time show, or just if you're looking for a game to play between games, or even if you want to have your kids to experience a similar adventure you experienced on your NES, and SNES back in the late 80's early 90's. Should you give big money for it? Not really. The digital version of the game is on the PSN for less than 10€, and believe me the amount of "Loading screen" time is shorter than the physical version. This "Secret of the nameless kingdom", sure deserves a spin, but only a short one.Read full review
