Blossom Tales:
The Sleeping King Review

Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King (2017) is an adventure game series where, like the Zelda series you explore an enchanted world, battle enemies and solve dungeons. It's a reimagining of the classic Zelda game, Link+to+the+Past.

With retro-modern pixilated graphics, you slash your way through monster-infested dungeons to save the Kingdom of Blossom from eternal darkness. Along the way, you collect weapons, spells and items to defeat powerful boss enemies and solve taxing puzzles. An extra novelty is that the story is told by a grandparent to his grandchildren. This not only gives the game a story-time feel but offers the chance for you to choose how the story evolves.

There are two Blossom Tales games:

• Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King (2017) Switch, PC
• Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince (2022) PC
