Game bets on the interaction of Nunu and Willump to arrest the player

Oh well is a little boy who was part of a tribe of nomads called Notification, but found himself separated from his mother Laika and other comrades after an attack by marauders. Alone, a little boy meets Willump, who appears to be the last Yeti in this world. Since then, the duo have continued to travel together through Freljord, the icy region of Runeterra.

The Song of Nunu begins with the main character dreaming of his mother, who says that the boy should go to Winged Mountain find Blue Heart, but without details about what exactly this artifact is. So our little hero, together with his furry friend, goes in search of a place that could bring information about the whereabouts of his mother, and Lissandraknown as the Cold Witch, oversees the journey in search of a way to achieve her goal.

The story of Nunu’s song This is not original at allA boy must travel the world in search of a mysterious artifact connected to his past, and on his journey he will meet magical creatures who can teach him the value and value of great friendship. But, despite the simplicity and a little generalization, it is difficult not charm With Nunu and Willump’s relationship and his problems.

Nunu is a child, and that’s what he is I ask all the time things for Willump, who, being a magical creature, knows a lot about this world and responds in a wide variety of ways growlswhich translated from the main character. The relationship between them is the high point of the game and is easy to draw. smile With discussion both and even theirs opinions other characters appearing in the story, turning a simple walk from one point to another into something more. Worth highlighting dubbing which, like Riot’s previous productions, gives each character a distinct flavor by using the same voices as in League of Legends.

For those who follow the world of League of Legends and are already familiar with its characters, the game brings some changes in the origin of the main character and tries to fit him into the great history of the Freljord region. But for those who don’t know anything about MOBAs, a good job has been done in introducing most of the Champions such as the hero duo, Orn and Lissandrabut others leave a lot to be desired and need a little more space.

Songs and snowballs

The scenarios feature a wide variety of charming locations.

Like its story, mechanically The Song of Nunu is very simple: in the first hour we are introduced to how the whole trip will follow. Let’s look at some scenarios, for example with Nunu and his flute called Scantionlibur or installed on Willump.

During reconnaissance we have some platforms and puzzles featuring Nunu’s flute, where it is necessary to play correct notes for something in the script to happen, be it moving a platform or enchanting the type of ice that Willump was supposed to carry. Finally you can play snowballs destroy some objects and freeze the water, allowing you to progress through the stage.

The puzzles are not difficult and even on the same base, each scenario presents some other detailso that everything is less repetitive and, despite its simplicity, very funny resolve them, especially those related to flute from Nunu. But you can notice that there is an emphasis on one younger audience, who can find interesting challenges in puzzles and enjoy the gameplay much more. There are occasional showdowns where you can use attacks and submissions with Willump, who, while not fun, is well built and very fast so it doesn’t bother you.

Its duration also helps ensure that the experience is not tedious, as it lasts for approx. 5 o’clock and when its core mechanics start to wear out, it’s already very close to the end, which brings some new features. Despite this, there is nothing in their mechanics that makes them memorablebased solely on the narrative and interactions between Nunu and Willump.

The flute is one of the main instruments for overcoming difficulties.

Since Freljord is a region completely covered in snow, the scenarios may seem very repetitive at first, but the developer finds ways to vary them. During the adventure we found caves covered with colorful plants, abandoned ancient cities and even a large castleciting a place known to football players League of Legends. Each of them manages to be very unique visually, creating a good feeling progress on the journey of its little protagonist.

Sequence in sealed games Riot Forge is to adapt the skills of League of Legends champions into the game, be it Ekko and his powers from time to time Convergence/gens, or hurricanes Yasuo V The Destroyed King. In Song of Nunu, while most of the Champion’s abilities are missing from the mechanics, he does an excellent job of adapting them into narrationwith the right to some special points related to Willump’s main ability. The other Champions appearing in the game are also very well represented, in particular Lissandra in his speeches.

Such as music is an important moment in the life of Nunu, since, as is known, the Notai people passed on their knowledge through her, a trace often charming and gives a good sense of adventure in different places in the region. Some of the collectibles that can be found are also music related. song lyrics that Laika sang and totally brought it together, resulting in one of the best moments Song of Nunu has to offer. Since this is a very simple game both mechanically and visually, bugs never appeared and this PC performance is very stableeven with all settings at maximum.

Note

Rating: 7/10.

Song of Nunu is a short and simple game, but it manages to captivate the relationship between the main character duo while showing a bit of the magical world of Runeterra. It’s ideal for younger audiences, gives a good introduction to the characters of Freljord, and is a fun and exciting adventure for those already familiar with the universe.
