Almost a masterpiece

Take the story of an RPG, add a combination of LoZ AND Castlevania SotN and you get TAG! This is essentially a love letter to old school games especially metroidvanias. It also includes tributes to Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Castlevania, Earthbound and more. I can sympathize when my first console was the NES. TAG will brings you back to an era when games were good. It really was a breath of fresh air. First of all is mighty ambitious for a free indie game made by one guy with help. It's big, it's long especially if you explore and get everything, has EXCELLENT game design, beautiful pixel art, awesome kicking soundtrack, great story, tight controls, neat mechanics like the day/afternoon/night cycle and how everything changes with it and I especially loved the magic bottle power-up where you use wind or snow to jump higher. The only bad part is that it does have some glitches and bugs. I didn't encounter anything game breaking either. But for a free indie game of this magnitude it was acceptable and not enough for me to deduct a star. I have played indie games that cost $ and are smaller in scale and still have them. I would pay $10 for it. Seriously play it just for that LSD level.

Adventures

Just like the name says, this is pure adventure, I got this just because it was free and I wanted to try it, but I found myself playing from start to finish, always wanting for more pirates, towers, cities and treasures. You play as a kid who wants to become a pirate and go finding treasures, resolving puzzles and fighting bad guys in a 2D platformer style. Maybe some mechanics in some puzzles are not all that polished, but still this is an awesome game for an amazing price. I found myself coming back to it after a while and still loving it.

Annoying!

This would be a superb game. I love platformer, sidescroller games. But, there is a silly thing which turn this gem into a nightmare: That idiot red parrot! It's very annoying, that the parrot always and continously landing and sit on the little guy's head! This is terribly annoying for me. It was a sick idea!

A little, but free, treasure!

+ This game is FREE + Cozy graphics and music + Collecting hats doesn't require any $$$ +- Interesting idea, but at the same time gameplay feel like MANY other platformer-adventure games -+ Get's harder really quick and sometimes you wish there were an option to save the game anytime you want - Doesn't encourage to complete it in 100% - Minor bugs, I had also one crash while playing, but it's nothing serious that would keep you from finishing a game Treasure Adventure Game is overlooked by many players, but there are reasons for it. As far as I know, this game is only available here on GOG.com, and since it's free to play you could give it a try. It's a game made back when almost every Indie game had a "soul" and if you can overcome some things, I'm sure you will have a great time playing it. Maybe it's not even close to my list of my favorites, but I'm glad I had a chance to discover and run this game.

Better than Windwaker by far

Reasons why Treasure Adventure Game is better than Windwaker: -Price: If you want to play Windwaker, you gotta buy a Nintendo console, which is at least $100, and then you gotta buy the game, which is probably $50? If you're reading this review you've probably got a computer that can play TAG, and you can have it for FREE. -Sailing: Sailing is TEDIOUS and BORING in Windwaker, because they put barely any islands in their massive grid of ocean, and most of the islands have exactly one use before becoming things you need to just bypass to get to the important parts. In TAG, sailing is only a brief moment from one island to the next, and nearly every island has lots of useful stuff on it. PLUS, in Windwaker warping is nearly useless as an alternative to sailing, while in TAG warping is available fairly early in the game, and lets you go to ANY island even faster than sailing! -Content: Windwaker has a grand total of FIVE dungeons. FIVE. Majora's Mask is the only Zelda with less. Five is less than Minish Cap has, and people complain about THAT game being too short. On the other hand, TAG has at least 7 dungeons, depending on what you're willing to classify as a dungeon, and at least that many bosses. -Completionist-friendly: TAG doesn't have any awful "take pictures of everything in the game" sidequest to torment completionists. TAG has a handy percentage to let you know how much you've done in the game, and lets you go all the way up to 100%+. Better still, the few frustrating things to do or find in the game are completely unnecessary to getting that 100%+. AND, unlike Windwaker, TAG actually REWARDS the player with something MEANINGFUL for getting all of the things. -Companion: A parrot who only talks when you ask him to is much better than a psychic boat who always butts in when you're in the middle of trying to solve a puzzle. -Tragic backstory: Link never has a tragic backstory [citation needed]. TAG's main character has all kinds of tragedy in his past.
