Personal review
Neutopia is a bold The Legend of Zelda rip-off. A princess has been kidnapped, and in order to rescue her you have to recover eight medallions located in dungeons which you have to reach by walking and fighting on the overorld. Trees can be burnt, secret cave entrances been opened by bombs... sounds all very familiar. But in this case I don't care the fact that Hudson so obviously copied Zelda's gameplay, because Neuopia is an excellent piece of software and if you liked Zelda you will love Neutopia. Gameplay is great and the graphics are a step forward from its NES counterpart. There are four different overworlds to explore, the dungeons have nice puzzles and the search for better equipment motivates to play on.
