The Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity

The Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity is a fully procedural roguelike that has been developed with Gamemaker Studio, using some of the original assets from the legendary Super Nintendo game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It is important to note that the game is not a ROM Hack or anything of the sort. Although it is a PC-native video game, it maintains the look and feel of the original game that inspired it.

Keyboard or Gamepad, you decide

The The Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity manual recommends playing using a modern controller, preferably an Xbox or PlayStation controller. The game will automatically recognize your controller, and you can start playing instantly. If you aren't satisfied with the default button setup, you can customize it from the Control Options menu. And, if you don't have a controller or simply prefer to use the keyboard, this is entirely possible too. Again, you can change the key settings as you wish, creating a control scheme to suit your preferences.

Like Zelda, but procedural

The main difference between A Link to the Past and Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity is that, while the former tells a fixed story and has a series of predetermined dungeons, in the latter all content is procedurally generated in each new game. As in traditional roguelikes, you'll never get the same dungeon twice. The same goes for the enemies and the objects you can find inside. This will force you to improvise and, above all, always stay on your toes. You never know when you'll come face to face with a powerful enemy or which vase hides treasure underneath.

Loads of new weapons and items

A good roguelike is not complete without tons of weapons, armor, accessories and other items to find and use throughout the adventures. And in The Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity, you'll have plenty to work with. You'll always begin the game with a normal sword. As you progress, however, you'll have access to better quality swords, bows, shields and magic scepters. You'll also be able to equip loads of armor and charms, which will allow you to reduce the damage you receive or get special abilities. Learning when to use magic or bombs is key if you want to go far.

Save the game and continue later

The Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity can be quite a long game. A run can last over an hour, and it isn't always possible to play a video game non-stop for an hour. That's why you can save the game when you pass certain levels. Keep in mind that this saved game will be automatically deleted if you lose, so you should still be very careful. The save slots are mainly there so you can resume the game later if you have to leave it at any point.

A new Zelda adventure every game

Download The Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity if you like the Zelda saga and, above all, if you like roguelikes. This is an outstanding game that has been developed with much love and care over the course of four years. And it shows. All aspects of the game work smoothly. Running around dungeons as Link has never been as fun and as exciting as in this procedural adventure that will still be able to surprise you dozens of hours later.
