Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity paraît le 19 novembre 2020 sur Nintendo Switch. Développé par Omega Force et édité par Koei Tecmo et Nintendo, le jeu mêle stratégie et hack'n'slash/beat 'em up.
L'histoire se déroule cent ans avant les événements de The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Un jeune soldat nommé Link est chargé de protéger la princesse Zelda. Aux côtés d'Impa, ils parcourent quatre régions afin de recruter les champions de Hyrule et de préparer le royaume à l'attaque imminente de Ganon, le Fléau. Le jeu permet de découvrir, à travers des cinématiques dramatiques, ce qui a conduit Hyrule à sa perte.
En plus de Link et Zelda, le joueur peut incarner les quatre champions ainsi qu'une jeune Impa. Chacun dispose de capacités distinctes pour affronter des hordes d'ennemis, des Bokoblins aux Lynels, et tenter de sauver le royaume.
Le titre obtient un score agrégé de 80,32. La presse a salué une expérience extraordinaire malgré quelques problèmes techniques, et certains critiques estiment que le jeu parlera davantage aux joueurs ayant découvert Breath of the Wild. Des joueurs évoquent un jeu fantastique et émouvant, avec une histoire bien écrite, tandis que d'autres y voient une excellente extension de l'univers de Breath of the Wild.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« I do think that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will mean more to people who have played Breath of the Wild, and that's fine. For Zelda fans, there's no way they haven't played it anyway. For Musou fans coming to Age of Calamity from that angle, the sell's a little harder. The narrative that it weaves are great. The presentation is impeccable, and each and every one of the characters are fun to play with. It's just that where the original Hyrule Warriors felt like a love letter to the history and heritage of Zelda, Age of Calamity is more immediate, and that's just a little less of a celebration, though with the tradeoff being it actually contributes to the lore. For me, that's a worthwhile tradeoff, and I didn't even have the assumed knowledge going in. »
« Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, even with its technical issues, offers an extraordinary experience. The game takes us to this prequel full of twists, surprises, hope and sadness thanks to a plot and gameplay hardly surpassed by any other Zelda title. »
« Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a breath of fresh air compared to other Warrior installments and is worth playing if you loved Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The story, characters, and music are the best I’ve seen out of a Nintendo Warriors game in a long while. Even though the AI is severely lacking and multiplayer could use some improvements, it still is not enough to drag the game down from being the best Nintendo Warriors installment I’ve ever seen. »
« Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a masterpiece that you have to experience: a powerful adventure if you enjoyed The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild... Although you'll have to put up with its poor graphics. »
« Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a treat for both Warriors fans and those who adore The Legend of Zelda series. It may not have the puzzles of a traditional Zelda game, but it packs in an obscene amount of action to make up for it. Throw in a story that will have you gripped as well as the usual Zelda charm, and you have a game that will keep you glued to the screen for tens of hours. »
« Take a cornucopia of familiar Hyrule lands, add an absolutely fantastic soundtrack to each of them, and let a collection of amazing characters loose to tell a great story on the battlefield and off, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a game no Zelda or Musou fan should pass up. »
« Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a joy to see out 2020 while we wait for the next Zelda. »
« Age of Calamity is, for all intents and purposes, a prequel to Breath of the Wild. It might be a spin-off in a separate genre, but it’s clearly a labour of love, and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable romp through one of the most interesting periods of Hyrule. If the first game was a love letter to the Zelda series, this not only improves on this concept in every way, but stands as one of the best Zelda games, period. »

« Fantastico Gioco, giocare al fianco dei campioni di Hyrule è un esperienza molto emozionante e la storia è davvero ben scritta con tanti momenti di pathos alto. Colonna sonora fantasitca. »
« A great expansion of the BOTW lore and a great warriors style game. Excited to play Age of Imprisonment »
« A decently fun what-if scenario that gives the Champions their deserved much more screen time. In some ways, this is what Breath of the Wild should have been. »
« Incredibly fun game, with a great roster of characters. Due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay, it risked becoming boring after a while but I believe its runtime was exactly as long as it should be. It does have one problem, however, being its story. Making it non-canon was not the right move. Still an enjoyable time nonetheless. »
« Je l'ai fait en duo avec ma copine, il faut s'habituer à l'écran coupé a l'horizontale, très facile de passer de solo a coop. On a enfin pue être rassasié de cinématiques qui manquait beaucoup a BOTW. Quelques ralentissement en jouant a deux nous l'avons fait sur Switch 2 donc je sais pas si c'est pire sur la 1. Un vrai fan service de Breath of the wild »
« è un gioco bellissimo con delle persone forti gli do 9 solo perchè invece che in bowt potevi andar contro la calamità subito e in aoc vai contro astor e la grafica dev' essere migliorata quando vai contro a qualcuno »
« Although the gameplay system works much better in this than in the previous Hyrule warriors installment, the story is where this game takes a major blow. I recommend this game. »
« Simplemente un juego maravilloso si realmente te gusto botw aparte de que amplía la historia le da un mejor fin a todo, muy disfrutable »
