Play Overview
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas (2013) (simply called Oceanhorn on iOS and Android) is an adventure game that brings Zelda-style exploration, battling and dungeon-solving to non-Nintendo platforms. You play as a boy on a quest to find his lost father while exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, and uncovering secrets. It stands out for the combination of these elements with a heartfelt story of adventure and whimsy.
You play a young unnamed boy who sets out on an adventure across the ocean in a daring attempt to save his father and defeat the Oceanhorn, a huge living fortress holding him captive. Along the way, you fight offer enemies with different weapons and items you find, solve puzzles to unlock the way forward, and explore dark dungeons filled with secrets and hidden paths. You can cut grass and throw pots to find hidden hearts and coins that allow you to build up your strength and gain experience, letting you take on more powerful foes.
The result is a game that pays homage to older, top-down Zelda games and the sailing from Wind Waker, while still adding its own unique twists like an experience system and a 3D world, making for a nostalgic yet still novel experience.
