Sparklite is a game clearly inspired by the Legend of Zelda series, but that’s no bad thing. Yet while there is a lot to like about it, it is hampered by a combination of factors that seem to conspire against you.
But first, the good stuff. Your protagonist, Ada, inhabits a bright, procedurally generated steampunk world full of interesting secrets and spurred along by a jolly, uplifting soundtrack. This is a game where everything feels full of adventure and promise. It’s not particularly original, sure, but it’s fun.
