Definitely not for those looking for great context or a deep story. Highly recommended for those familiar with titles like the Simple Series. Really the main attraction here is the Tower of Fantasy, and the super challenging leaderboard. It's really more closer to a classic endless arcade challenge than a traditional dungeon crawler. An indeterminate number of floors to overcome, a vast arsenal of weapons and accessories scattered randomly throughout the levels, a difficulty curve that makes the game accessible to anyone but not surmountable for everyone. Perhaps if the aleatory level design was a little more detailed and the perspective was in third or even first person we would be talking about a game with higher scores. Such a beautiful protagonist cannot be fully appreciated seen from such a distant perspective!

Pretty solid game , way better than the mediocre Excave II. The bad ideas from the previous game, like the useless male character and the ridiculous story mode are completely absent. The Fantasy Tower is the game's main attraction, with lots of secrets and the online leaderboard. There's still the problem of bad translation though, making it difficult to decipher the unlock methods in some title descriptions.
