Press reviews: “In the great pantheon of top-down 2D Zelda-alikes, Ocean's Heart is right up there with the lovely Blossom Tales. The world is well designed, the items and abilities are perfectly judged and it is aware enough of its influences to feel like a loving tribute rather than a cynical clone. Combine this with some nicely written dialogue and you have a winning formula. A great remedy for the January blues and a nostalgic trip back in time.” 8/10 – TheSixthAxis “Being an RPG heavily inspired by the classic The Legend of Zelda series, Ocean’s Heart shares many common traits with its muse.” 9/10 – The Indie Game Website “Ocean’s Heart is a love letter to its genre, and I feel like it’s one that does it justice.” 8/10 – Gamer Escape
