The game repeats the same formula as you progress meaning that you'll enter a town, talk to everyone, be pointed towards the local dungeon, fight through said dungeon to the boss on the final level and then it's on to the next town and the next dungeon. If this kind of no-frills design, along with the textbook implementation of Roguelike dungeon crawling is your kind of thing, then Izuna might be worth a look, provided you can overlook the various annoyances.
That's a tall order for all but the most patient of gamers though, meaning that this is one ninja who won't be dropping the "unemployed" part of her title any time soon.
Ninja Studio, the folks behind the cult hit rogue-like series Izuna, may have quietly faced closure.
Izuna 2, Borderlands, Mass Effect 2, and several versions of Pokemon are available on the cheap this week.
Gaming Target: "Our favorite bubble headed ninja returns being employed by Success and Atlus to entertain us rogue-like fans once more in this sequel to last year's comical, yet totally enraging dungeon crawler, Izuna: The Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. If you've read our preview of this game then you pretty much know what to expect. I mean hey, that was the finished product, only now we know how well the story holds up and we can officially put a score on it."
