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."
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.
The Escapist writes:
"While I can't really recommend Izuna 2 to the average person, I'll wholeheartedly endorse it for those looking for a handheld title to suck hundreds of hours of their lives away. If you can look past the game's sparse trimmings, you'll discover a deep, endlessly nuanced quest that offers an immense sense of satisfaction once you toil enough to earn it.
Bottom Line: I enjoy Izuna 2 on a near-daily basis, but the lazy, or the busy, need not apply.
Recommendation: If you're a fan of endless dungeon crawling, and have a few hundred hours to kill, give Izuna 2 a shot. The game's $30 price point is certainly not indicative of how much content is packed into the thing."
