Defunct Games reviews Saga of the Moon Priestess, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox Series X and PC.
There’s a fine line between being inspired by a classic game and straight-up remaking it. Saga of the Moon Priestess barely hides that it’s pretending to be The Legend of Zelda, which may be nostalgic at first, but ultimately leads us down a disappointing path from one predictable trope to the next. Featuring familiar dungeons, cliched locations and power-ups that you’ve seen a thousand times before, there’s nothing new or interesting here. Couple that with a story that is barely there and an adventure that feels rushed with only five dungeons, and what you’re left with is a cover song that plays all the right notes, but pales in comparison to the original.
