If you don’t mind the style and feel of RPGs of days gone by, but with a unique twist thanks to the touch screen options, then Tao’s Adventure will happily fill the empty void in your DS library when it comes to genre.
It's a proven formula, but the game proves to be a bit of a bugger to interact with. [July 2006, p.70]
If you've already beaten every DS RPG to date and you have plenty of money, then buy this one. If you're into repetitive dungeon-crawling and repetitive fighting to level monsters who are much less interesting than their franchise-based rivals (Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh), then give this title a play.
The money spent towards TAO DS can be better spent for a better experience. But for what it is, you will definitely get your 30 hours worth of dungeon-crawling from TAO, be it with some setbacks.
Even if the magic drawing system was more than just a fancy way to select "fire" or "cure," it wouldn’t change the fact that this is just a poor RPG with little more than floor after floor of bashing monsters one at a time.
Instead of saving anywhere, you’ll have to – that’s right – use a spell to teleport to the inn, where Tao can record his progress. In most DS games this isn’t a problem, since closing the DS will pause play. But not here – the game just keeps running even with the system closed.
A note to those hoping Tao's Adventure might fill the gaping hole in the DS lineup caused by a lack of RPGs - you're better off with the gaping hole.
