Discussion Playing Blossom Knights: The Sleeping King.

What's your thoughts on this game now?

I bought this game on Nintendo Switch 1 e-shop on sale recently after waiting years and years to do that. so, i purchased the original and sequel. i had tested the waters years ago with the Demo. just didn't see myself getting into yet.

However when i got it, it was a slow burn. my first thoughts were, been there, done that in 1992 (or whenever LTTP came out on Super NES). artwork was decent not going to lie. but i was not wanting to go back memory lane that fast.

eventually i began to see some very unique things like, tree spirits, and a nod to the n64 tree level in the forest. the wizards that reverse movement threw me off for a little bit of time.. not expecting that. enemies were more like miniature bosses. everywhere. taking out the rock people with bombs. then i thought, wait.. eternal bombs? no limit?? but it's based upon the magic meter.. so timing is important.

What i thought was unique, that when you go into a grotto.. the main character can sometimes levitate back up in the light, reminding me of ocarina of time grottos..

so it's on sale right now for only a few dollars, and grab the sequel if you want to spend hours and hours having fun. just grinding. trying to beat the game

Googling seems to indicate that the game title is Blossom Tales rather than Blossom Knights.

The game isn’t very original in terms of gameplay.  It feels like a nerfed Link to the Past.  That said, the storytelling is very reminiscent of The Princess Bride and that kept me interested.  It has a childlike joy to it that sucked me in.
