Nice! I used to love games like Wizardry and Dungeon Explorer. Other than the Etrian Odyssey games on the DS, it's a genre which has sadly almost vanished. Glad to see a new, modern spin!

acidbrn4392d ago

I've never been really into this genre of game, But then again I've never had a PC or Laptop capable of playing many games.

SeanDKnight4392d ago

You should give it a shot. I think you'll be surprised by it.

Sharodan4392d ago

As Elderly_Cynic mentions, the Etrian Odyssey games are a nice alternative for non-PC owners. Be prepared for grinding though, because it also has JRPG elements.

PeachyAenne4392d ago

I needed a good dungeon crawler, this looks like fun!

MagicAccent4391d ago

Never played Eye of the Beholder or any of the really really old school stuff. But I loved the Might & Magic games, and playing this was like being 10 years old again.. Total nostalgia trip, but still so fresh.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who is up for a challenge :)

who remembers Shining in the Darkness on the Mega Drive? it was an excellent game.

Ten essential dungeon crawlers for current platforms

Digitally Downloaded writes: "At DDNet, we do love a good Wizardry-style dungeon crawler. There is something classic and timeless about delving deep into a hive of monsters and traps, overcoming them bit by bit while developing an intricate map of the sprawl of corridors and rooms along the way."

I think you're missing Darkest Dungeon.

Still upset Atlus sided with Nintendo for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. I don't mind it's on 3DS, I mind it's not on any PS console cause the PS community are the ones that built the franchise and even made P4G a success on an unsupported system... then they decide to not give us Q but instead a dancing game *FACEPALM*

MattS3030d ago

A very good "dancing" game.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3030d ago

The developers are the developers of the Etrian Odyssey series which are exclusives to the Nintendo DS/3DS and which sole mechanci is drawing and constructing maps on the touch screen.

Such feature can not be replicated on Vita.

slinky1234563029d ago

Not owned by Nintendo though, Atlus could/should work on it from the dev or another to be on Vita instead of betraying the fans like such. And there has been hundreds of games where touch screen from the 3DS has been replaced with the Vita touch screen and back touch pad. Seen gameplay, easily portable.

MattS3029d ago

Please do explain how you make a game that actually needs two screens on a console that has one, Slinky.

It has nothing to do with the touch screen. It is the fact that the Etrian Odyssey mechanics require both the map and the "action" to be displayed - and interacted with - at the same time, at all times.

A map overlay, as other dungeon crawlers do on the Vita, would not work, as you wouldn't be able to draw on that while you played.
