Description
Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits – and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water.




Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.





FEATURES:

  • Speed through the open sea and swing yourself between buildings in this fast-paced adventure
  • Experience a heart-warming story about loss and reconciliation
  • Make new acquaintances amongst Strandvilles diverse cast of islanders – from the charmingly cocky surfer girl to an old fisherman turned fashion designer
  • Change your appearance with collectible hats, hair dyes and outfits
  • Fill the pages of Sigrid’s scrapbook with special drawings to learn more about her world

8/10
With pleasant visuals, beautiful music, and gameplay that most gamers will be able to autopilot through, Wavetale offers a fun way to while away a quiet afternoon.

A hearty journey that remains tonally consistent despite its joyous mechanics, with its pointless combat and customization not being enough to drag the experience down.

Wavetale is a simple adventure with a sweet story, featuring satisfying traversal, although it never steps out of its comfort zone.

Rough but very fluid and Fun.

So far I'm having a blast, the navigation and movement are the best parts of this game, especially when moving across bigger disances or scaling heights, so fluid, bouncy, floaty and responsive. I'm also enjoying the dialogue, in interactions where you actually talk to people and voiced interactions, it feels realistic despite the setting, especially between the Granny and yourself, it can also be very funny at times, it just gives me a nice feeling of Nostalgia. It is a bit rough around the edges though, early combat is a bit simplistic and easy with you just spamming left click or CTRL, and some animations look and feel a bit less fluid compared to the Traversal. But overall, I am enjoying it so far.

fun, short, w/ a forgettable story

good fun; well on all arcade aspects besides a sort of consistently "muddy" performance. load times also a little slow. game is *very* easy, & combat is fairly backseat; exploration/"platforming" the main draw here. overall very casual time story is to be ignored. cutscene skip exists, so no complaints base price however is quite ridiculous for what it is. ~5 odd hour game, not lifechanging. get on sale for the <£8 range. satisfying overall. paid £2.5 on sale, no regret

Terrible camera, cool traversal ability

While the traversal mechanics are pretty fluid, surfing on the water, platforming/jumping all felt great. This unfortunately was offset by how I was almost constantly having to fight the camera which ruined the vibes. There wasn't any option that I could find that would allow me to retain full control over where the camera was looking at. It was always trying to either show me something and automatically moving the camera back to what IT wanted me to look at. VERY irritating, distracting, and made me quit playing. Its a shame because the presmise seems interesting. Also, maybe there will be some character development but I found the Grandma to be constantly rude, unnecessarily so. That was another turnoff.
