Dungeon Crawl for DS |
Ó
One of the more known rogue-like computer games is Linley's Dungeon Crawl. Originally released in 1997, the game attributes its popularity to persistent maps and the much varied systems (religion, magic and skill). Now homebrew coder Sasq is porting it over to the DS. And this independent developer assures that DSCrawl v1.0 BETA2 is an enjoyable handheld experience. All in all, it contains close to 400 monster types and over 200 spells.
Sasq suggests to have a libfat compatible memory card. Accordingly, the game loads and saves itself from here. Playing from a GBA cart is just as fine as it will use the SRAM anyway but its capacity is rather small. To install, select one of the two NDS files. The "rein" file seems to be most compatible with SD-cards, not to mention it also works on MP2. Furthermore, three versions (blue, gray, green) of libfatdragon were included, so you might want to search first what each supports.
The gameplay and controls are good and Sasq claims to have exerted much effort to give the game a natural feel by utilizing the buttons available on the NDS. The controls are as follows:
Left and right shoulder buttons acts as SHIFT (the same as pressing the up-arrow at the lower left of the keyboard matrix).
General
SELECT = Inventory ('i', or '?' if at a prompt)
Shift-SELECT = Escape
START = Fullscreen map ('X')
Shift-START Quit ('Q')
Dirpad+A = Move in that direction
DirPad+B,X,Y = Shortcuts
In Menus
A = Select
B = Cancel
Y = SPACE ("More" - when menu doesn't fit one screen)
