This doesn't happen because they chose to sleep in the stables either. After a long day of slaying fiends, it's not uncommon for heroes to get a good night's sleep, level-up, and then realize that they've actually lost stats. The more attention somebody pays to them, the more likely they'll go insane. One of the most convoluted aspects of the game is its approach to stats. Going further, more experienced gamers might try specialized parties, such as all ninjas. Granted, there isn't a "plumber" or a "bear" class, but it's still a very cool feature. It's entirely possible to create a group filled with heroes from other videogames, such as Mario, Mega Man, and Monokuma. Thanks to the 3DS' camera functionality, one can use snapshots as character portraits. Although, it's probably a better idea to test other classes and combinations, in order to give the adventure a better sense of identity. Most are likely to settle for traditional setups such as three frontline warriors, mage, cleric, and thief. The freedom to design a party entirely on the player's whims can't be understated. Most anyone can be a fighter or a mage, but advanced classes such as ninja or valkyrie require the right alignment and a little luck. The starting stats and class are all determined by a roll of the dice. Granted, registering new characters means getting acquainted with the "reroll" function. A handful of premade heroes-in-training are made available, but it's better to just ignore them. They treat RPGs as hamster wheels, forcing players to slay three hundred flavours of rats and crabs for hours upon end.īefore the adventure can begin in earnest, a party must be created. That's what it's all about right? Unfortunately, far too many developers ignore this concept. Imagine the reins of history, back in the hands of man. Starting with little more than rags and a wooden stick, a mishmash of nobodies eventually becomes powerful enough to overthrow Gods. To grasp the appeal of this 3DS release, one must first be reacquainted with what makes an RPG work. Players are granted the freedom to do most anything, though it requires many hours of toiling in obscurity.

#HAMSTER HEROES WII REVIEW SERIES#
Their Elminage series is an unapologetic throwback to the glory days of Wizardry. Starfish, on the other hand, tends to view accessibility as shaving the tips off of a star-shaped peg, just so that it can fit into a square hole.

Some developers have taken strides to make their games more accessible. Opening a review with such a tired cliché statement isn't exactly ideal, but what else can be said? If dungeon crawlers are considered a niche genre, then Elminage Original is the niche within the niche.
