"For a game under £10 (or under $10, for that matter), the game is worth it if you like rich, Zelda-like experiences. The game, although the story is rooted (pun intended) in science and research, flirts with the supernatural, so …"

"Kudzu takes place in a fun, creative world that plays, looks, and sounds just like a 90s Game Boy classic. It&s;s a great adventure that will appeal to any retro gamer looking for an authentic old-school experience!"

"Kudzu is a fun outing inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Link&s;s Awakening but it&s;s not perfect. While the adventuring and puzzle solving are well done, the combat can be a bit clunky between the weird knockback when you get …"

"I think you get the point. Kudzu is going to be compared with Link&s;s Awakening at every turn, and in fact the publisher&s;s own PR does just that, but it can&s;t hold a candle to that beloved Zelda entry. It …"
