      @arnpoly Місяць тому +28

      @@JasonScalici There is not. There’s not much music in the game itself, and music/sound on the NES is something I don’t know all that much about setting up. That’s the main reason I made a setting to disable music, so that you can play your own music but still have the sound effects intact.

    While this game has an interesting concept, it's missing the one thing that all good roguelikes have. It needs interesting decisions. Without that, it's just a Zelda 1 combat gauntlet.
    It wouldn't be that difficult to add decisions. Some ideas would be to only have items drop when you clear the room, and to tell the player what item they will get before entering. Keys unlock more difficult rooms with a higher chance of powerful rewards.
    You could also restrict items to shop rooms. You can only buy one item per shop so choose wisely.

    • @apollolux
      @apollolux Місяць тому +2

    What a fun concept, though I think it could benefit from being made from scratch rather than a direct rom hack. You could include items from later Zelda games, have stronger enemies later on, and make other changes and additions like that. But obviously that'd be a lot more work, so I can understand it being a rom hack. Maybe they'll make a more in-depth version later on.

    • @thenonexistinghero
      @thenonexistinghero Місяць тому +1

      That's basically my issue with it. It's a nice idea, but sorta lacking in execution. It's just random room after random room with random rewards. Doesn't matter which direction you go into, you can probably just go back through the same door every time. Key doors do seem to have some more value, but other than that it's pretty much just completely random. Needs a few different mechanics to make it more interesting. Like an indication for what kind of room is coming up or being able to pick a reward.
      Was actually hoping for something inspired by Lufia 2's Ancient Dungeon where you just go downstairs and the floors are randomized. Then you'll have to explore the next floor to find the next staircase. Optionally you can also choose to explore the entire floor or to descend directly (of course giving this kind of choice also only works if searching the rest of the floor also poses some actual risks).

    I love the idea of this, but I feel like the exploration element is necessary for a good roguelike and a good Zelda game. It should be separated into floors with connected rooms and staircase that needs to be found to bring you to the next floor.

    I've had this idea for years but had no know-how to make it. I'm so glad somebody else had the same idea, and actually made it! I have to play this!

    I'm guessing the keys let you skip rooms? You wouldn't need to get rid of all enemies for the doors to open, you could just open it yourself anytime.
    Basically, you keep them until you absolutely need to escape a room without beating all the enemies in it.
