Legend of the Skyfish Game for iPhone Review
Legend of the Skyfish for iPhone is a beautiful action adventure puzzle game with a unique weapon and tool – a fishing pole! In the game, you got to follow the intrepid Little Red Hook on her journey with the Moonwhale to defeat the monstrous Skyfish. If you’d enjoyed Zelda games, you’ll get a kick out of Legend of the Skyfish as well. The game can be downloaded for $3.99 from iTunes.
Features
Legend of the Skyfish iPhone game has gorgeous visuals. The hand painted art got a unique style to it. Each environment you come across has its own distinctive appearance and tone. The main character, Little Red Hook, as well as other creatures that you’ll encounter has fantastic character models that are bursting with their own special personalities and movements. Further, with each equipment upgrade, you could see the changes reflected on your character model. The colors are stunning to say the least. Animations are slick and smooth, while the sound effects are fun to listen to.
Unlike Zelda games, Legend of the Skyfish for iPhone is not an open world adventure. After the opening cinematic that kicks off the story, you got to go from area-to-area, conquering all of the stages in chronological order. The basic formula is straightforward: explore the environment, beat up some baddies, solve tricky puzzles, and then face off against a boss at the end before moving on to the next level and do it all over again. As you advance, you’ll find chests that contain powerful upgrades for your hood, fishing rod, and grappling hook that will be permanently unlocked, even if you decide to go back to certain levels. There are hidden items scattered around that you can find out if you look hard enough. This keeps the game interesting and adds lots of replay value to the game. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. You can use the fishing rod to move from island-to-island, as well as attack enemies. The game play is easy at first. But the difficulty levels ramp up as you progress. The game is pretty stable and responsive as well. Legend of the Skyfish requires iOS 8.0 or later.
Conclusion
Legend of the Skyfish for iPhone is filled with beautiful hand-painted art, intricate action puzzles and unique enemies. Its 45 handcrafted levels have enough variety to keep you entertained for hours on end. The first part of the game is rather slow, with a fairy-like creature providing you hints on what to do. But soon the game picks up pace, and the levels start to get challenging. The details of the graphics stand out. Check it out if you are looking for a great Zelda-style game for iOS.
