3D Dot Game Heroes – First Impressions

Posted by Herolike on July 30, 2010 at 7:21 pm.

I adore the fact that the game is a humorous homage to early dungeon crawlers:

  • In the same manner as Demon’s Souls, it penalizes you if you die. At the same time it does not go as far and seems to only re-spawn you at the entrance of the dungeon, with your progress saved.
  • I appreciate the fact the game’s sense of humor in it knowing that it’s a generation of three-dimensional games, and makes a jab at how it, as little as possible, simply sprouts out of the ground graphics-wise while retaining its integrity as a tribute.
  • It’s a solid action RPG.
  • The story is delibrately bland, which focuses more attention on the game play.
  • It’s delightful that the optional heroes are also quite humorous in their brief backstory. One of them is a car.
