Deal | Praised by 82% of players, this Zelda-like action RPG is under $3 on Steam

Ocean's Heart is an action RPG in which you play as Tilia, a young woman in search of her missing father. Developed by Max Mraz, this game focuses on exploration and combat.

To find your father, you'll have to follow his trail and travel through the ruins of a flooded kingdom. Whether you're exploring forests, saltwater marshes, or mountain peaks, you'll have to complete various quests. Some quests will allow you to uncover secrets and learn about the history of this world.

As mentioned, combat plays a major role, and you'll have to face numerous enemies as well as bosses. Use a variety of weapons and upgrade them with materials to gain the upper hand. Spells can also help you depending on the type of enemy.

Although it has only 1,520 reviews on Steam, 82% of them are positive. On Metacritic, it has a Metascore of 79 despite a mixed user score of 6.3. This game is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda, as noted by The Indie Game Website: "Being an RPG heavily inspired by the classic The Legend of Zelda series, Ocean’s Heart shares many common traits with its muse."

It is praised for its rich world and numerous gameplay mechanics. The combat and puzzles are also appreciated, as is the story. However, the controls are considered poor, and the hitboxes have been criticized. In addition, some players mention that the game becomes repetitive as they progress.

Currently back at its lowest price on Steam, Ocean's Heart is available for $2.99. However, according to SteamDB, it will return to $14.99 on November 15, 2026.
