Quick To the Point Review
I haven't played too many "Zelda-like" games.
Some I can think of is Dark Siders, Tunic (I consider this Metroidbrainia), Alundra (good one!), Mina the Howler, etc.
I feel Elementallis is a really solid 2d Zelda "clone". I don't like to call it "Zelda-like" because it's much closer in design and scope than the other games that incorporate way too many Souls elements and aspects of unrelated games.
What I loved about it:
-Dungeon experience was reminscent of LTTP and other 2D Zelda experiences.
(the wind and electric dungeons were my favorites!)
-Boss fights: While a few of them threw me off, I was able to figure out most of them without consulting a guide, and the great part was that most of them were actually challenging and required some degree of strategy
-World Map/World Building aspect: I loved how you take the different elements as your items to reach new areas. I felt like you had to work for it to get to those new dungeons. The cave routes and other areas that led up to them were pretty solid.
-Most of the elements actually felt pretty useful. The freezing element was my favorite.
I'm looking for more "Zelda-Clones" much like this game or Alundra. Ones that are as close as possible to the original 2D Zelda experiences. I hope to see more games like this in the future!
