The Swords of Ditto’s Zelda-like dungeons keep me coming back

I don’t play every roguelike that comes out, so my view of them is limited to my experiences with Spelunky, Dead Cells, and maybe a few others. That’s why The Swords of Ditto has surprised me because it has a Zelda-like dungeon system that mixes up the gameplay a lot more than those other games.

The Swords of Ditto is out now for $20 from developer Onebitbeyond and publisher Devolver Digital on Steam. It has you taking on the role of the sword of Ditto, a legendary hero who comes along once every 100 years. As part of your mission, you must defeat the witch Mormo. She is an immortal and uses the lifeforce of the world to remain young. That’s the setup for what is, at its core, a roguelike adventure with a lot of elements from The Legend of Zelda.
