VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Spindle is a satisfactory Zelda-like, in the final analysis. It tackles difficult topics with grace and empathy, features multiple engaging boss battles, introduces several atypical tools to solve puzzles and outmaneuver enemies, and provides rewarding content even after the credits have rolled. There are some minor problems to be sure — it can be too gloomy for its own good, the combat framework never really evolves, and the graphics could be more refined — but overall it does the sub-genre justice.”
