The wide variety of jobs coupled with ability mutations leaves room for a lot of experimenting but the lack of quest variety and the amount of grinding required to obtain rare items means that you may not have much enjoyment in doing so.
The short playtime can make the full asking price ($14.99 at the time of writing, not counting any sales going on) a bit hard to swallow, though. Despite that, The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a great switch-off-your-brain-and-play game, and definitely worth giving a shot.
The combat is fun, and scaling onto larger monsters makes it even more so. I wasn't sure what to think of this game when I started, but I've quite enjoyed my time with it and I would definitely recommend it.
If you are looking for a heartwarming and occasionally tragic story, Clannad couldn't come any more highly recommended. I would say to be prepared for a bit of a slow burn, though…this is quite a long game with a strong focus on slice-of-life antics.
Maybe further down the road, or as part of a sale, it would be worth picking up just to mess around in the world and go crazy…and perhaps by then the technical issues will be fixed.
It is an excellent game all around, and an amazing surprise coming from a developer with a history a middling games and a turbulent ending. You would be missing out if you don't it a shot.
Sound of Drop appears to be a bit too ambitious for its limitations. In the end, I would say it is worth a read if you can find it on sale and want something quick and not too deep.
While the game gives the player numerous choices to make, its biggest detriment is that it ends up pushing all of them aside for its conclusion. That having been said, the story in Life is Strange is still one that everyone should make time to experience.
I was excited for the chance to play this game. However, while not an outright failure, it turned out to be mediocre and a relative disappointment.…but more Chie always helps.
Nom Nom Galaxy brings the same amount of oddity and quality that you would expect from a title with the PixelJunk name attached to it along with the added effect of stealing hours of time without you even realizing it.
It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of game. However, unlike past entries, I would recommend 3DS owners to give The Fafnir Knight a shot.
Despite the randomized traitor system offering some strong replayability, I can’t say that I’m inclined to play through this game again. Lost Dimension would make a good rental for fans of strategy RPGs, but it is hard to recommend for other gamers.
...Heavensward takes Final Fantasy XIV's reborn realm and takes those high emotions from Patch 2.55 and twisting them into a beautifully dark Final Fantasy story while also polishing many aspects of the gameplay to make the game both more accessible and enjoyable.
With a few minor annoyances, the gameplay is fun while also offering a difficulty that I would consider just right. It starts off easy, and gets harder as you get more comfortable with the various forms that Pip can have.
Other than the fact that players who tend to skip story in games will have a bad time, I believe this is a game that every 3DS owner should have in their library.
Etrian Mystery Dungeon is not a game that I would recommend to everyone due to its occasionally high difficulty and style of gameplay.
The replay value is extended quite a bit with Raid mode and with fun gameplay, and some humorous nods to previous RE titles in the script, gamers will definitely want to check this title out.
Is this game worth checking out? Absolutely. Is it worth the $59.99 price point? No, especially when you consider how much Square Enix charged for previous remastered titles which had multiple games in the box.
At the end of the day, Hand of Fate is a solid time waster because of it's sheer randomness offered by the decks you use. The more you play, the more cards you unlock, the more random the game becomes.
The only drawback with the first of the five episodes is some of the writing which may or may not improve as we dive deeper into the future episodes. If you're a fan of this story telling genre, Life is Strange is a must play!
