Under the Island Review – 2D Action RPG Inspired by Classic Zelda

Описание: Under the Island is a brand-new 2D action-adventure RPG from Slime King Games, and it might be one of the most charming indie titles of the year. With puzzle-driven dungeons, retro-inspired progression, and a world packed with secrets, Seashell Island feels like a love letter to classic Zelda games.

In this full review, we break down the story, exploration, puzzle design, combat, side quests, performance, and overall gameplay experience. Does Under the Island live up to its nostalgic inspiration? Is it worth your time? And how does it compare to classic top-down Zelda adventures?

You play as Nia, a girl who moves to Seashell Island with her archaeologist parents—only to discover that the island is slowly sinking. To save it, you must collect four ancient gears hidden across diverse biomes filled with puzzles, bosses, strange locals, and hidden secrets.

With no quest log, minimal hand-holding, and a heavy focus on exploration and observation, Under the Island rewards curiosity and classic adventure design.

Final Score: 9/10

If you enjoy retro-inspired action RPGs, indie hidden gems, or classic Zelda-style dungeon progression, this is one you’ll want to check out.
