GamingTrend: Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns Review

GamingTrend writes: "A strange thing starts happening as a popular video game system gets older. Off-the-beaten-path genres start asserting themselves. It's happening right now to the Nintendo DS, with games like Shiren the Wanderer and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. Normally, you don't even get one Roguelike dungeon crawl on a system, let alone several (A Roguelike game is a dungeon crawling RPG with high penalties for death).

Pros:

* Not a lot of games in this genre
* Lots of humor & personality
* Tag system is neat

Cons:

* Level-grinding? In my Roguelike? It's more likely than you think
* Didn't translate voice samples
* Mundane graphics
* Forgettable music
* Weapon breakage!
