It is sad when you figure that an older version of the same game is better, even slightly. They ported and somewhat modified the graphics (not the gameplay, more on that later) of the GBA version to the DS, and it didn't work. I already did a review of that game. This one, though, fares better because it looks and feels better, like it was meant for that system. Those are the only praises I can give as it is the same old boring dungeon crawler with no story, boring characters, terrible art, and gameplay that hasn't been innovative since the 90s. A good attempt from a budding company? Maybe. But they have to up their game if they want to make a dent in this industry. Too flat, too common, not enough effort. Do not buy.

To the point: This game bored me to death. Old gameplay, a non existent plot and awful artwork that would pass as mediocre in the 8 bit 90s era. The worst part is that I wasn't expecting much so that they manage to not only lower but destroy any desire to play this game is truly a feat. Do not buy. Forget ever existed. The people behind this game should give a serious look to their product before trying to ship such a disgrace again.
