Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore Reviews

Huh. And this came so highly recommended, too. I'm not sure what to say. The cutscenes are cringe, the gameplay is clunky and uninspired. I guess this is supposed to be a parody, but as I never had a CD-i myself, I have a hard time appreciating... whatever this is.

[i]Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore[/i] is an incredibly charming game, and you can tell that the creators behind it are (oddly enough) big fans of the CD-i era. The game itself is a simple enough Metroidvania that is a bit more difficult than it would first seem. But the game is very fun, and there's a lot of love for that CD-i humor. I'm also a big Zelda fan, so that helps! If you grew up in the early 2000's to early 2010's and loved watching YTP, you'd probably find this game funny and enjoyable! 8.5/10

Crashed in the first minute of playing. The text is blurry at fullscreen. Would have been interested to play but too many technical issues so early led to a refund.

A short and sweet little game, very simplistic and doesn't overstay its welcome. I really like the level art and the music is pretty decent. Unless you have high nostalgia for the older games it's based off of, i'd recommend it on sale.

very charming. A very basic Metroidvania but still a fun time

The gameplay is somewhat and the characters are laughably bad, but that's what makes this game so amazing. It captures the essence of the CDi Zelda games just perfectly!

Im going back on my second playthrough with the YTP mod. This game is a lot of fun and does exactly what it sets out to do. a perfect game

A great homage to the CD-i Zelda games that surpasses its inspiration in every aspect tenfold. Beautiful pixel art, great feeling gameplay, excellent music, solid search-actioning. A pretty short game (my final playthrough in my post-game stats was just under five hours after collecting everything but a few coins and candles), and too easy (I wish hero difficulty, unlocked after beating the game, were available from the start), but worth every penny. 8.5/10

Felt Short, but memorable. Never experienced the Zelda CDI games growing up outside of memes and YTPs so when I first heard of this game I was like "I GOTTA play this." Wasn't expecting anything great but I found myself having a blast. A throwback to times when games were simply made with fun in mind. Definitely worth a play!

This is an extremely fun game. This is basically the result of when the Zelda CDi games have their potential tapped, including improved controls, fun characters, a solid randomizer and really great music. This is another example of an indie game that you should pick up if you enjoy sidescrolling action adventures.
