Special-Review: Zelle (Odencat)

Translate

I even changed the title from Tap-Review to Special-Review. What's so special about it?

I've been playing this game for quite a while, maybe over a year. It's not about how long, but it's the beginning of getting to know Odencat and my journey to reviewing 4 of their games.

Reason

I consider Zelle the best among Odencat's games. Why?

🔸The combination of Odencat and Fuming results in extraordinary work.

🔸The experience while playing also matters, you'll understand once you play it.

🔸It offers various game element and genre. Including rhythm, challenging difficulty levels, horizontal, and uniqueness.

Comparison

What do Mousebusters, Bears Restaurant, Snowman Story, and Bluebird of Happiness have in common? The answer is pixel art and vertical, even though their story themes differ but interconnected, even though they are only npc.

Story

The adventure of Emerada trapped in an old castle inhabited by demons. Along the way, she encounters various strange characters who both help and hinder her. She's also trying to recover lost memories and unveil the truth as the story unfolds.

Map

Explore the 3D map and collect items to move forward. Be carefull, there are various demons living in the castle. You'll be safe once you obtain the Rosario, an item to repel demons with four colored crosses.

Art

Many graphics in Zelle are created using collage techniques. The creepy and fantastic graphics will make your exploration memorable.

Music

Don't miss out on Zelle's main music! It sounds ancient, mystical, and melodious..like the songs of goddesses. Although the lyrics sound foreign to me.

Oh, I found a sheet of music! Give applause to Mr. Xion, who created this music.

Spoiler Alert!!

Terms

- Demon: The embodiment of the souls of sinners who continue to suffer in hell. When hell is filled with the souls of the dead, some of them spill over to Earth.

- Black Magic: One of the forbidden spells created by demonkind.

- Holy Warriors: Those given the Holy Grail and brought back to life. Like Emerada, who committed suicide and was resurrected, in exchange for fighting the demon race.

- Asgard: In this world, sinners go to hell, and everyone else goes to heaven. When non-human gods perish, Asgard is their destination.

- Void World: A place returning to the root of everything, the void.

- Goddess Teachings: Although it's written as "Goddess Teachings," it's not written by a goddess. It's designed to promote self-love and awareness of sin.

Characters

🔸Emerada

🔸Adolf

🔸Loki

🔸Moon-faced man

🔸Grim Reaper Zogzo

🔸Grim Reaper Samsa

🔸Goddess-chan

🔸Gura-chan

🔸Ahriman

🔸Devil in black armor

🔸Rogue

A chubby rogue living in a village at the forest's foot. Theft and robbery are common for him. He came from afar to accept the challenge of the Moonlight Castle, rumored to be cursed.

Last seen near a water pump.

🔸Taobe IV

Taobe IV died of illness, but he still haunts this castle, avoiding the gaze of the Grim Reaper.

🔸Fallen Mizuko

When gods and demons crossbreed, no children are born, but in rare cases, they might be born in an immature state. Most of them die soon, but by returning them to their host's body, they can live as parasites. The host's consciousness is gradually consumed.

Rhythm Genre, as I mentioned. Very easy, but you need to stay focused. A small mistake and you could be devoured by demons.

Terrifying..even if they're just puppets.

Self-portrait. Beautiful painting, isn't it?

Placing an angel statue in the toilet, isn't that disrespectful? No one dares except Grim Reaper Zogzo.

Not like a goddess..is this the Grim Reaper?

It's a shame she has to stay in hell.

This is the peak of difficulty. When she escapes from Hell and faces Grim Reaper Zogzo. Even with the Rosario and Holy Grail, it's not easy to fight him.
