A third person-perspective action RPG featuring a cartoonish visual style. Tanzia takes us to a fantasy world where, as a shaman, we travel in order to stop an ancient evil. The game is developed by the independent studio Arcanity.
Tanzia is an action RPG developed by Arcanity – an independent studio composed of former employees from inXile Entertainment, Obsidian Entertainment, Westwood Studios, and Sony Online Entertainment.
Tanzia takes us to the titular Island. During gameplay, we assume the role of a likeable human-like shaman who follows in his ancestors’ footsteps and strives to stop an ancient evil looming over the realm. The plot is constructed by Kevin Saunders who was previously working on such titles as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, and Torment: Tides of Numenera.
Tanzia is a third-person perspective game. Its open world is composed of beaches, lagoons, harbours, the dangerous Emuri Village, and ruins of an ancient civilisation. During gameplay, we travel through the large map, complete quests given by the dwellers, and fight enemies we come across (including giant spiders, living skeletons, stone golems, and water ghosts).
To be successful in combat, we need to master juggling with spells which the hero learns on his travel; he can cast fireballs, freeze opponents, and bind them with roots. The potential of magic can be further extended with the use of magical jewels or by mastering alchemy. Moreover, the potions we brew can heal wounds or improve statistics and make the hero e.g. faster.
The 3D visuals of Tanzia have a light-hearted, cartoon style. The soundtrack builds up the atmosphere of a big adventure.

Digitally Downloaded: 1.5 / 5 by Matt Sainsbury
There is a point where a homage becomes a flat-out copy, and sadly, Tanzia simply doesn't seem to care that it's so brazen in its "influences."
PS4Blog.net: 8.5 / 10
Tanzia is a good game on Nintendo Switch, with polished and colorful graphics, a solid story and plenty of content to enjoy. It pays homage to the open world design of games such as World of Warcraft, and the gameplay mechanics and feel of the 3D entries in The Legend of Zelda series (pre-Breath of the Wild), for a game that in the end does its own thing and that you should definitely check out on Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo Life: 5 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
There's a lot to like about Tanzia. It's an indie game that's set its ambitions high, boasting DNA from action-RPGs, 3D platformers and more. It's very much a throwback to a time when those genres were very different beasts, but it's a love letter riddled with many of the problems modern iterations have shed. However, if you can look past the fact it often looks and plays like an HD remaster, you'll find some creative monster designs and a fantastical world bursting with heartfelt charm.
