  • Summary: Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory is a third-person action game that places players in a dark and distant future.

Rengoku also features immense replay value thanks to the PSP handheld system's wireless multiplayer technology.

    Seriously though, how important are these extras if the game itself is so mind-numbingly underdeveloped?

    Comes close to hitting the mark, but misses by the fine details that separate the good from the mediocre. [May 2005, p.69]

    I sort of like this game. Bad story line that you can only get if you read the instruction manual, also the training was to brief so I found myself rushed into the game. Once reading up and getting used to the controls th game is quite fun. I do like how customizeable you can be with your weapns. Overall this game is worh getting if you want something to keep you busy.… Expand

    eugh. Rengoku if fun for about 5 minutes, then it settles into a boring, corny, and downright redundant pattern. deaths are probably the most annoying part of the game. you die, start at the VERY FIRST part of the game, and have to get your stuff back. there isn't an easy way to re-load a game other than to soft reset. the customization was a nice touch, but the amount of money you get per kill is nowhere NEAR enough to power-up appropriately. moving controls are OK at best, but combat is rediculously one sided and complicated. overall, it's barely worth the rent.… Expand
