[JPH]

All DS RPGs I've played have been disappointing

Screenshots:

Spoiler

Crap. Luckily I've got DQM: Caravan Heart to play!

 

[test84]

J, give these Rogue-likes a chance. and I doubt rogue likes to be RPGs.

NINJA GAIDEN, when this month come out tell me NAO!

The month has already came out.

Edit: JPH, have you played the FF's or Lunar: Dragon Song? Those aren't bad.

 

[monaug5]

Tell me though is this any good or a waste of time?

 

[sk3tch]

I love this game. I bought it, too.

Everyone should at least give it a try. Very fun. Just remember, dying is part of the experience. This isn't a traditional RPG. It's a rogue-like, NetHack variant.

 

[Scorpin200]

They should have kept this game a mystery.

Lunar? No, it's not bad. It's awfully terrible. Te-rri-ble. Avoid it like the plague.

 

[Clements]

It's a port of a Japan-only SNES game.

 

[JPH]

Yeah, I've played the games Final Fantasy and must say they're all boring.

Not tried Lunar, but it doesn't look too fun.

I'll give this game a try later, and hopefully I won't be as disappointed.

Meanwhile, DQM: Caravan Heart is a go!

 

[Twiffles]

Shinren is awesome, give rouge-type games a good name.

 

[iandjx]

check out the message board of shiren in gamefaqs.com. Its very active.
This game is quite good. You'll just have to learn to appreciate roguelike games to enjoy playing this.

 

[Szyslak]

For people who've played both, is this better or worse than Izuna? I've got a lot to play right now, but I'll squeeze this in if it's better than Izuna. Opinions?

 

[scoozer]

what you guys mean by "rouguelike" ?

 

[Artheido]

I love this game, it's full of endless fun for me.

I'll be buying it once it's available in my local GAME store.

 

[jalaneme]

what you guys mean by "rouguelike" ?

most people like this over Izuna (and their reason is that Izuna is just item gathering and after that you have proper itemrs, its useless), except one guy Karma or Krama or Krazy or something, who likes both.

No, nothing like gauntlet. This is a roguelike not an action game.

Roguelike is just the genre of game. Like RPG, MMO, Strategy, or FPS.
