It has been an exciting week for retro Zelda<\/strong> fans as Echo<\/strong> Isle<\/strong><\/a>, a new Zelda<\/strong>-inspired RPG, has a new demo. The news follows on from Eldor\u2019Idle<\/strong><\/a>, another Zelda<\/strong>-like RPG also announced. In Echo<\/strong> Isle<\/strong>, players do what they would expect from a game heavily inspired by the GBC<\/strong> Zelda<\/strong> outings. Slash a sword, solve puzzles, beat some bosses, and save the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019re sure there is more to it than that, but the new Steam<\/strong> demo will let anyone interested try the first dungeon. In Echo<\/strong> Isle<\/strong>, players take on the role of Aster, a star warrior sent to banish the darkness. Wielding his trusty sword, he embarks on a daring mini-adventure across a cozy island to collect the four legendary Echo Stones.<\/span><\/p>\n
