Among easy internet gags “Nintendo game with ultraviolence” is a long time staple. One look at Trigger Witch and it’s easily clear this is its starting point. Everything from the viewpoint, tilesets, structure and even certain melodies mark it as a clear pastiche of A Link to the Past, with AKs and Magnums replacing the swords and magic. Complete with the violent bursts of blood when you finish off an enemy.

“Earthbound meets Zelda”. It’s really difficult to describe Reverie in any other way. You can dance around it, play up its New Zealand mythology, or use a phrase like “quirky top down action-adventure game” but the influences are worn very openly. Often imitated, but rarely replicated, invoking them means living up to a lot of people’s high expectations. So does Reverie clear the high bar it sets?
Maybe. Sorta?

In which I both tell you why I find it difficult to pick my favorite games and what a few of them are.
“What kind of music do you listen to?” It’s a moment I keep remembering, a girl I had just been introduced trying to get an idea of my tastes. “What’s on of the bands you listen to?” I wanted to reply with Disasterpeace, but I knew that with him not being a commonly known artist she’d have no idea what it meant. "Radiohead, I guess.“
With that she gave me an "ok” and the conversation was over. I should have said Disasterpeace.
