Animal Crossing meets Zelda's legend in the delightful free Steam download – Steam

While I am worshiping a cozy game, I also like to open the heat.

So imagine my joy when I stumbled through a game during the next festival of Steam Next that captures the best of both worlds.

Developed by Blue Banshee and is published by Ankamama Games, published, Maliki: poison of the past Maybe what you would get if you have mixed the worlds of the animal cross and the legend of Zelda.

You will join Maliki, supported by her “crazy family” when she tries to stop poison, a “fearsome plant creature that has colonized space -time”.

As such, they cross a Zelda-like world, participate in skirmishes, research and solve “temporal puzzles”.

Visually, however, Maliki: poison of the past Share a style Animal crossing: new horizons.

It is certainly an RPG, but in the most variable sense.

In fact, take a look at Maliki: poison of the past In action below.

If you think: “This premise sounds pretty familiar”, Maliki is a French web comic that has been running since 2004, even though this is the first excursion by the franchise company in the video scope.

“In the near future, humanity fluctuates on the edge of extinction, subjected by the fearsome poison, a plant monster that changes the space-time continuum. Under the leadership of the enigmatic Maliki, a handful of temporary survivors have teamed up and coordinate their efforts from the domain, an oasis outside of time that is previously secure before the threat, ”says the synopse.

“Play as sand as you drive through the centuries to repair the continuum. Use your Chrono pack to manipulate the time, fight the monsters that have been affected in the past in the past in the past. “

The skirmishes in which you participate will be round -based, albeit with a new original application.

The game teases a mechanic “time manipulation” so that you can change the course of time to make powerful new combos that link with your future attacks, and it is also possible to send your enemies back into time.

They will return to the domain between the fights – essentially a farm, and here the game begins to feel very cozy.

Here you can be able to plant, harvest, cook and tinker.

Maliki: poison of the past Is, as I said, the next festival is to take part in the Steam next, so it has every chance that the demo can disappear when the event ends on March 3.

Try it out as long as you can.
