Critic Reviews for Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy
Operation Babel is a good dungeon crawler but not even close to Experience Inc's best work or most of the competition on Vita.
Operation Babel feels too similar to its predecessor with a weaker cameo-focused story & reused assets but exceeds it in every other aspect of gameplay. The new subclass system provides extra control on party depth.
Overall Operation Babel is a frustrating experience. The game mechanics aren't explained particularly well, and so you'll need a lot of patience to figure out how everything works. If you're a newcomer to the genre then you're better off playing something like Ray Gigant. While Babel has some interesting mechanics, it definitely lacks a lot of the polish of similar titles like Stranger of Sword City. Simply put, there are a lot of quality dungeon crawlers out there on Vita that do a much better job than Operation Babel.
In line with its predecessor, Operation Babel : New Tokyo Legacy offers a pretty complete RPG with an underlying poorly handled difficulty. The mix of blood, craft and loot are many mechanics that will be off-putting to the less experimented players. Only for players familiar with the genre craving for Dungeon RPGs.

The tediousness of exploration, battle, and menus really bog down Operation Babel, in spite of what the game does well. Abysses can be fun and interesting to explore, and the mechanics of the game certainly get easier and deeper as the title goes on.
Operation Babel is a good Dungeon RPG, with a nice design, but it's less accessibe than the other Dungeon Crawlers available on Vita, so be carefull.

Another solid entry into the dungeon crawler genre, but one that doesn't stand out from the rest.
This is certainly nor the best work form Experience Inc. neither the best dungeon crawler available on PlaystationVita, but can be a good choice for the ones that already completed better titles such as Demon Gaze and Stranger of Sword City.
