Tunic Nintendo Switch Review | Zelda Meets Dark Souls?



Tunic may look like a simple Zelda clone with a vibrant color-palette but don’t let that deceive you, this one packs some challenge! Let’s take a look at what it’s all about!

Explore a land filled with lost legends, ancient powers, and ferocious monsters in TUNIC, an isometric action game about a small fox on a big adventure. Stranded in a ruined land, and armed with only your own curiosity, you will confront colossal beasts, collect strange and powerful items, and unravel long-lost secrets.

BECOME A LEGEND
Stories say that a great treasure is hidden somewhere in this land. Perhaps it lies beyond the golden door? Or somewhere deep beneath the earth? Some tales tell of a palace high above the clouds, and of ancient beings with incredible power. What will you find?

REBUILD A SACRED BOOK
During your travels, you’ll reconstruct the game’s Instruction Manual. Page by page, you’ll reveal maps, tips, special techniques, and the deepest of secrets. If you find every last one, maybe something good will happen…

BE COURAGEOUS, LITTLE ONE!
Dive into varied, technical combat. Dodge, block, parry, and strike! Learn how to conquer a wide cast of monsters, big and small — and discover useful new items to help you on your way.

– Explore a hostile and intricately-connected world of shady forests, sprawling ruins, and labyrinthine catacombs
– Fight mighty bosses deep beneath the earth, high above the clouds, and in places stranger still
– Collect the missing manual pages, bursting with hints and original full-colour illustrations
– Discover hidden treasures to help you on your way

  1. Found this game through NintendoCapriSun, he was playing it on game pass and man super stoked for the switch version. The dynamic resolution looks a little rough on some of the bosses but it seems like a shoe in for the platform as a whole. Yayayayayayayayayayaya

  2. This is a must buy, it's just a question of when. Will probably wait for a sale. I still have to play the Link's Awakening remake and Death's Door (among many others) first for crying out loud! 😅

  3. To be honest the series x blows me away on load times. Original assetto corsa was ages on the Xbox one to load the full Nurburgring and on the series x it was 10 seconds, that’s when I knew it was different.

  4. I absolutely LOVED this game. Building and decoding the instruction manual was one of the best experiences I have had in a game in a long time. Such a brilliant design to entice and enhance the exploration.

  5. I'm playing Disco Elysium as I watch this and I swear just a minute went by and I heard " will you be picking this up" apperantly I missed the review. Anyways no I won't be picking it up because it's both over priced and not quite my cup of tea.

  6. That’s kind of cool that you can change the stamina and health in the options. Kind of a weird concept to get used to though as an old school gamer, considering you don’t have to make a brand new save to do this from what it sounds like. 😊

  7. I’ve been playing TUNIC today too. It gets a lot of comparisons to the remastered Link’s Awakening but it reminds me more of Death’s Door and Hob, with the drip-feeding of the story like Hollow Knight. Lots of exploration and environmental puzzles, and despite the open world map it’s a linear campaign as the virtual instruction manual acts as your quest guide. Bosses are very challenging, more so because the controls are quite sluggish (I’ve tried both handheld and docked) and they need to be more responsive and ‘snappier’ for the battles to feel fair. I didn’t notice the load times, but I only play on Switch. I also re-mapped the controls as I kept hitting the wrong buttons.

  8. The game is cool af. But i think thsy mad a few bad decisions specifically with the switch port I feel like toning down the lighting effects to get a better fps will it be in a more preferred way of paying on switch

  9. I’ve just finished blossom tales 2 and this was on my radar as the next game. Not a fan of souls-like although I’m loving Elden Ring. As you say, I might have to dial back on those aspects. Cheers Alex

  10. Ugh these 30fps ports with bad load times are becoming all too common on Switch. There's really no reason for it a lot of the time. The Switch runs Ori Will of the Wisps, Metroid Dread, Hollow Knight, Hades, and even Super Mario Odyssey at a crisp 60fps. Tunic has no excuse especially with scaled down visuals and a lower resolution.
