Is Tunic Coming To Game Pass (Zelda-like)
85UPDATE***
Tunic is now available Day one on Xbox Game Pass as it is being installed on my system, which goes contrary to what the publisher stated on social media just weeks ago. Save yourself 30-35 dollars and try this game today.
Tunic is due out March 16 as an Xbox console exclusive but sadly won't be a day one Game Pass title which seems unfortunate since people tend to be a little more hesitant with indie titles.
In the words of the developer, Andrew Shouldice, Tunic is a game about a small fox in a big world. If that is all that you know about the game there is little chance that you would get interested, but if you were told that it is basically The Legend of Zelda but with a cuddly fox as the main character, then you might be more interested.
Having finished the demo, Tunic has a chance to be a very touching and excellent experience that resonates with people. What made believe in Tunic wasn’t the level of quality of the game, because within the demo, there with magical lands that were begging to be explored an adorable fox as the protagonist that you instantly fell in love with and an audio score that made the exploration serene. Instead what made me believe in the success of Tunic was Ori and The Blind Forest and how the two games are similar.
There was no shortage of Metroidvanias in 2015 when Ori and The Blind Forest was released but it had very tight gameplay, gorgeous art style, stunning audio design, and most importantly, it had a big heart. After playing about an hour of Tunic, all of these elements feel present and the only thing left is to be able to take all of those elements and connect them together for the whole experience.
As Ori and The Blind Forest gave fresh air to Metroidvanias in 2015, I think there is a possibility for Tunic to give fresh air to top down adventure games or Zelda likes some fresh air as well. If you enjoyed Links Awakening remake from 2019, then there is a strong chance that you will like Tunic.
One of the biggest things working for and against Tunic is that it was developed by one person. In 2015, developer Andrew Shouldice decided to take his weekend passion of creating his own game into full time.
Even though Tunic will have been in development since 2015 in a full time capacity, we are only talking about one person and there is only so much that one person can do without help. Here is hoping that a single vision can elevate Tunic to the levels that Ori and The Blind Forest reached.
