When this happened, a hero made his presence known and stood up against this Dark King, using his legendary sword to help seal this bad guy away. Get it? DOTnia? 3D DOT Game Heroes? Ok, let’s continue. Legend tells us of Dark King Onyx, who stole these six fancy magical orbs and thus brought about darkness to the kingdom of Dotnia. Let’s start from the beginning, though – the story. I absolutely loved the visual and audio presentation, however the game was severely hurt, in my mind, by the clunky game play and annoying trial-and-error puzzles that will stop you in your tracks until you figure it out. Believe it or not, not everything we remember from gaming during that time period or everything that makes us feel nostalgic, makes for good game play mechanics. While that is all fine and good, this is 2010, folks. The music, the atmosphere, the characters, the story, the animations – they all point to that. Ultimately, I’m a bit torn, and I’ll tell you why.ģD Dot Game Heroes is a game designed from the ground up to return you to those days of pixilated gaming goodness. With all the hype built up in my mind and the inevitable feelings of nostalgia that would overtake me, you’re probably wondering how I felt about the game. Needless to say, I was excited to finally receive a review product.
I have been looking forward to this PS3 exclusive for quite some time – I read all the news I could find about it, followed the press releases from Atlus religiously and even attended a live online demo of the game a few months back. This feeling of nostalgia is exactly what you will feel when playing From Software’s 3D Dot Game Heroes, lovingly localized for those of us in North America by good ol’ Atlus.
Remember The Legend of Zelda? I have a lot of fond memories of that game, as well as many other games from that time period. Ahh, classic 8- and 16-bit days, how I remember you fondly.
