Get past the iffy localisation and maybe the cutesy characters if you have to, and DragonfangZ is a fun and interesting genre mash up. The roguelike element makes it ideal for a quick pick up and play session, but you'll also be rewarded if you invest more time to build up stats and learn the increasingly deep systems that are more in line with traditional JRPGs. All in all, it's simple-looking yet increasingly deep experience, one that can be as absorbing as it is perplexing.

It has all the presentational and gameplay elements it needs to be really great. But this developer's track record isn't there, so what we’ve got here is a game with a translation bad enough that it effectively breaks the game.

A fun, accessible and beautiful roguelike with Shiren-esque mechanics that will give hours and hours of challenging entertainment.

I'm loving every minute of this game. This is quite a unique one, blending JRPG and Rogue-lite, with procedural generated dungeons, enemies and items each time; the diversity of enemies, powers and really nice graphics are really great. The action is very fluid too. Also, the sound and powers are quite punchy and strong, which for me is essential in this kind of game.

DragonFangZ is an enjoyable turn based tactical roguelike heavily inspired by the early Shiren the Wanderer games on the SNES and Nintendo DS. If you enjoy traditional roguelikes, Shiren The Wanderer or other games in the Mystery Dungeon series you should absolutely get this overlooked eShop gem.
