Deep Labyrinth Unleashed! |
Ó
There once a movie called "Labyrinth." It starred the beautiful Jennifer Conelly and the cool-eyed wonder David Bowie. The others were pretty much just muppets and puppets (how DO you know which is which). It had a young girl (Conelly) go through a large labyrinth just to reach the Goblin King's (Bowie) tower and save her little brother (muppet?). Now there's a game called "Deep Labyrinth" that's was just recently released, is it going to be populated by muppets as well? Let's see.
Most RPGs are viewed from a third person's point of view. Naturally because they'd like to see the character they're playing. If the character doesn't look good, expect the sales to go down pretty sharp. Sorry, but most RPG players like seeing their characters portrayed as cool and handsome. First Person Shooters (FPS) on the other hand, just shows the arm. That's it. FPS players don't mind because they all look the same anyway. They're pretty much happy just wearing their ski masks and Army uniforms. What's important to them is the gameplay and the way bodies explode on grenade launcher impact.
Labyrinth has mixed the two game features together. Presenting: the FPRPG. First Person Role Playing Game. You basically just see your arms most of the time in this game, but instead of wielding M-16s or spades, you'll be fighting with swords, blocking with shields, casting spells, and using items. You'll be fighting dragons and monsters, naturally.
You'll be playing as Ace, a sixth grader. You and your dog will be in search of your parents who disappeared suddenly when they entered a mansion on the road. Dog goes in, boy follows (they never learn do they?--Dogs, I mean) and you're teleported into the "Deep Labyrinth."
The story,gameplay, and music from the people who brought you Chrono Trigger, FF VII, and Xenogears: Masato Kato and Yasunori Mitsuda.
Game released stateside: August 15, 2006.
Conelly not included.

Excuse me but hasn't the 15'th of August already passed?
i dont no about any body else but i think this game sukks the controls are bad and so is the sound
First FPRPG? What about Morrowind and Oblivion? Do you mean the first FPRPG for the DS?
I have just played Deep Labyrinth for a few hours and must say that as far as dungeon crawl games go this one is pretty good.
The sound volume is a bit low during the opening animation and the music is not very memorable, but that will not be a problem for most people since it seems to fit the graphics well enough and is not the most important feature of this game.
I do not see why anybody complained about the controls, they are pretty decent once you get used to them and make good use of the touch screen. You actually slide the stylus or your finger across the screen in various directions to attack and draw symbols to cast spells, as well as use the microphone in several areas of the game.
The graphic style is cartooney and the monsters look pretty nice, do not expect the visuals to rival Metroid Prime Hunters but they get the job done and amount to a good gameplay experience. There is no blood or gore so this game is appropriate for children as well.
The map designs for this game are decent as well, there are always just enough variations to keep things interesting. Do not expect to get bored too quickly.
Conclusion: This game may not be for everyone, but should be interesting enough to be worth your while.
