Summary
Deep Labyrinth lets you explore a world populated by magical creatures and monstrous foes. Descend, if you dare, into the dark heart of the Labyrinth, in the first 3D first-person RPG for the Nintendo DS. Take advantage of the DS's dual screens and touch screen to explore dozens of dungeon levels, fighting hordes of hideous monsters in real-time with swords and spells. Two engrossing scenarios weave two amazing stories -- one for newcomers to role-playing games, and one for RPG veterans. [Atlus]

Deeko
A total immersion experience, Deep Labyrinth exceeds my expectations as a gamer in terms of providing a locations in which I can take on numerous beasts, explore diverse and detailed locations and simply dive into a level of adventure and fun that seems vacant in many games appearing on the market.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
This is one of those games you either love or hate. We're perfectly happy with the story, graphics and simple gameplay Labyrinth offers, especially since there's nothing else like it on the DS, but casuals will probably downright despise the game.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
Fans of portable dungeon crawlers with touch-screen interaction, rejoice. This is the game you have been waiting for.
Read Full Review >1UP
It's like a faster, more fluid "King's Field," all the way down to the ugly, 3DO-quality graphics -- not everyone's cup of mead, to be certain, but still a satisfying first-person hack-n-slash for those who prefer to take their treasure-hunting on the go.
Read Full Review >IGN
The control is a bit too clunky (especially when trying to move and turn at the same time), the stylus input isn’t as tight as it could be, but the overall RPG experience is there.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
This 3D role-playing game lets you explore many mazelike levels through the eyes of a sword-wielding hero, but crawling through its corridors often isn't much fun.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
The everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach attempts to overshadow the lack of depth in Deep Labyrinth, but it can’t escape from its own repetitiveness. While we may be misdirected temporarily, we soon find ourselves back on the well-beaten path.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
When it comes to game design, however, Deep Labyrinth flounders in a sea of linear progression through bland stages full of brain-dead enemies. [Oct. 2006, p.87]
GameSpy
For a game that's humble and not especially innovative, Deep Labyrinth is a title that, strangely, really feels like it belongs on the Nintendo DS. It's a little different and takes a few risks that don't pay off, but it ends up being a successful game in its genre.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
The stories for both are absolute garbage, but the smooth 3D engine is pretty impressive on the tiny hand held.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
There is plenty of replayability, if you like the basic game, but that's where we get back to the duality - some will love Deep Labyrinth and others will hate it.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Despite quaint touches, this is cumbersome and wholly unoriginal. We didn't come here to get the mick taken out of us by talking mice, you know. [Nov 2006, p.71]
RPG Fan
Deep Labyrinth is every generic action-RPG you've ever played overlaid with what is quite possibly one of the worst control schemes in any DS game.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
The gameplay mixes first-person action with a rune-drawing-like spellcasting mechanic similiar to "Lost Magic", but every aspect is unresponsive, sluggish, and repetitive. [Oct. 2006, p.114]
Edge Magazine
On balance, its lack of ambition is supported only by a very basic underlying solidity in its execution: too weak to tackle bigger monsters, but strong enough to soldier on with some perseverance. [Nov 2006, p.89]
G4 TV
"King's Field" was a slow, clumsy, fairly-boring-to-look-at first-person hack-and-slasher with a legendarily lousy framerate. Deep Labyrinth is all of those too, except that its framerate isn't bad enough to pass into legend.
Read Full Review >Electronic Gaming Monthly
Wow, is Deep labyrinth ever boring. [Sept. 2006, p.106]

Kenny S. gave it a9:
This game is so repetitive and the enemies are usually a different-coloured copies. But the control of the Sword and the Magic system are really funny and incredible. It glimps a nice concept with some fails, but so good at all.
Sean M. gave it an8:
This game never really sold, but I still got it a few days ago for $12, and I must say it was worth it, for the most part the game is great, it only lacks replay, but the game is long enough to where that doesn't seem to be an issue. Most reviews say it's repeative, but that's not entirely true, I found the game to change a bit in every dungeon, always adding something to try and trick you up.
Leigh gave it an8:
The control scheme does take some getting used to, but once you've got it down it's great fun to get all the monsters in the game! It has a classic Atlus RPG feel, and will no doubt become one of those rare DS games that everyone wants to get their hands on.
