I guess nobody remembers that in a chose your own adventure, you can open the wrong door and die... about a million times.

Yeah the game is hard, but it's the closest thing to an Oblivion DS you're going to find, and that is a goooood thing.

This game is technically outstanding and very addictive. The gameplay is reminiscent of Metroid, but the strong RPG elements makes it more engaging than just a 1st person action game (inventory, lots of quests and subquests, free exploration...). I really enjoyed the game and I can't understand the two bad reviews posted... 40 and 16! Those reviewers really need to reconsider their lifes...

It's a shame there are only two "professional" reviews out for this game, and both of them are rife with inaccurate information. The 1UP review in particular is almost criminal. I was shaking my head throughout the entirety of it, wondering if the reviewer had actually played the game for more than 15 or 20 minutes. While certainly nothing groundbreaking, this game is a breath of fresh RPG air for the platform. Anyone who enjoys old-school western-style RPG gaming should give this one a go.… Expand

This game is great. The graphics are stunning, controls are up there with the best the DS has to offer in the FPS field and if you are an FPSRPG fan, this is for you. The DS equivalent to Elder Scrolls!

A worthwhile play. Short, yet entertaining throughout the whole game. Controls were much better than quite a few games currently out there, but could always use some tuning. Story is fine and opponents, while troublesome when stumbling into instant death, are rare enough that you won't have trouble avoiding that area until you're stronger! If nothing else, just reload the auto-save and leave the room immediately; I've done that without a hitch. All in all, it's a good game. Short as I had stated, yet quite sweet.… Expand

Very Good Game! Asking my self why IUP and Nintendo Power gave it a very low score. Their reviews are based only on game controls and game difficulty! The game actually is quite tough but who would enjoy a very easy game. 1UP said that the controls are very hard but he's just not using the stylus. Very dumb reviewer. All in all, the graphics are amazing and the game is enjoyable!!!

An incredible achievement for a DS game. To be honest, it's something probably on a similar level to the elder scrolls daggerfall (though not nearly as big of course) - an incredible achievement for the DS. I IMPLORE 1up and nintendo power to re-review the game. I mean, ok, it's not perfect but really a D- an a 40%? That HURTS the developers. The game is flat out good - not even just average. Anyway, give the game a go - fans of oblivion, morrowind, WoW, any first/third person RPG will love it, and it's a nice nostalgic nod to the book that got me into fantasy long, long ago.… Expand

The fact the developers managed to get a full 3D environment working on the DS is astounding! If anyone is a fan of the old Hack and Slash type RPG's from the late 90's (Like Lands of Lore or Elder Scrolls: Dagerfall) this game is an absolute gem. I'll admit that my expectations for the game were fairly low when I purchased it but within seconds of playing the game I was blown away. The controls are not as good as a PC or a modern console because we don't have a real mouse or dual analog sticks but given the limitations of the DS the control scheme is innovative and easily the best 3D navigation controls that I've seen yes. The comparison to Oblivion is not far off but I'm also reminded of the first Diablo. Very typical of ARPG's the story is kept light in favour of a explore-kill-loot cycle that remains satisfying even today.… Expand

There are a few flaws, but this is definitely one instance of reviewers trashing what I think to be a great game.

I just passed through few rooms. Game is fantastic. I can't believe they pulled off something like this on DS. Hopefully they bring this game to next gen.
