Mary Skelter Nightmares Reviews
Dark, gross and sadistic dungeon crawler for PS Vita. It's a great game with engaging story, excessive violence and pints of blood. But beware – characters from fairy tales will no longer be as they were

Although it definitely has style, Mary Skelter: Nightmares doesn't quite excel. The unique premise tends to be undermined by the typical eye-rolling nonsense that plagues anime. There's also not enough of a follow-through when it comes to encounter design. Each class is capable of numerous and creative skills, but the direct approach is almost always the right one. As the game continues, it actually becomes less complex, until the player is merely spamming whatever kills monsters quickly. Still, this DRPG does more than enough to keep one occupied for quite a long time.
Mary Skelter is sublime. By turns darkly sensual and horrific, it's also beautiful, ravishing, and backed by truly expert level design and a clean, clever combat system. This game is too different to effectively compare to other dungeon crawlers, but I must say, of all the many games in this genre that I've played, this one will sit with me for a very long time into the future.
In the end, Mary Skelter: Nightmares is one of the most delightful and impressive RPGs that I've played in a long time.
This game has certainly left it's mark, as while it's not the best DRPG out there, it's certainly a very solid and pretty original feeling effort.
