Familiar, lightweight but almost impossible to dislike, this is an effortlessly enjoyable action RPG.
The Swords of Ditto is charming, humorous, and fun to play. It's not the biggest game, but its generation-crossing story makes you feel like you're a part of its world's history. Even though it relies heavily on randomized components, the cartoon-like presentation and baked-in charm make every single screen seem as though it's part of a cohesive, authored map. The Swords of Ditto might not be the most epic adventure of all time, but there's little denying that it's one of the cutest.
It can feel a little too cheesy to be palatable at times, but the developers have cooked up a perfectly satisfying meal for the enjoyment of you, your great-grandchildren, and your great-great-grandchildren after them.
Although the main premise of The Swords of Ditto is appealing when we spend a few hours in it it's feels a little bit tedious.

The Swords of Ditto is a great game with a beautiful art style and great music, fun and rewarding combat, and solid enemy design. The dungeons are fun to navigate and explore, paying homage to The Legend of Zelda series while also doing its own thing. I think the only thing that might rub some people the wrong way are the roguelite elements, but hopefully that is not a deal-breaker for you since you'd be missing out on a gem on PS4!
Fun, charming, but ultimately frustrating.
Onebitbeyond has crafted something special here. It rips one of the early 90’s most iconic titles and brings it into the modern era with meaningful additions to the beloved formula. The world is rife with an intoxicating personality and entertaining adventure, beautifully wrapped in eye-catching imagery. The Swords of Ditto does require commitment and acceptance of failure to see through to the end, but it is worth the investment.
The Sword of Ditto is a good looking, adorable and funny game that is held back a little bit by its time limit. I would love to explore the island and its quirky sense of humour at my own pace, but the constant ticking clock makes it feel like you're being rushed through the environment. It's fun and worth playing if you don't mind time being a factor.
The Swords of Ditto delivers an accessible rogue-like experience served by beautiful artistic direction, and a soft difficulty curve quite rare for the genre. Thanks to a shared experience system, death is no longer tragic, but fans of rogue-likes will certainly find the adventure quite simple, mostly because of a basic combat system and too many random dungeons.

The Swords of Ditto is a beautifully designed clone of classic adventures with a single life concept and procedurally generated world - from objectives to items and dungeons.

A charming and fun homage to old-school action RPGs that works great as either an abridged experience or a long-term commitment
The Swords of Ditto is pleasantly addictive and will certainly provide hours of entertainment and some chuckles heads and there.
A mixture of roguelike and Zelda: A Link To The Past that looks and plays extremely well, but has its potential cut short by an unwelcome time limit.
The cutesy presentation and pick-up-and-play feel of The Swords of Ditto belie its true nature: a fierce, fiendish, oft-frustrating roguelite adventure. You may not want to keep going around that loop forever, but luckily there's enough enjoyment to be found in the (minimum) half a dozen or more runs it will take you to beat the game for the first time that – if you do choose to stop there – you'll still feel rewarded by the experience.
The Swords of Ditto is an enjoyable RPG held back by its procedural world that hinders the potential creativity of dungeons and exploration.
The Swords of Ditto is a charming rogue-lite with a robust challenge. Fans of top-down action-adventure games won't be disappointed.
The Swords of Ditto is a devilish little Roguelite disguised as a cartoony adventure with all of the trappings of what Zelda fans have grown up to enjoy.
The Swords of Ditto is a charming, beautifully illustrated dungeon crawler with goofy but loveable characters and fun combat, but its roguelike design makes it feel grindy at times. It’s still enjoyable, but it certainly needs some tweaking to improve balance.
The Sword of Ditto could've been be an amazing game, if it's gameplay mechanics were thought-out better. Alas, the timer often feels like an inconvenience and doesn't let you fully explore beautiful locations with great dungeons.
