Deep Labyrinth
SCORE: 58
Deep Labyrinth begins with a family taking a car trip. The family dog jumps out of the vehicle, and the parents go after it. Being the teenager your character mopes for a bit, and then goes looking for the entire family. He gets sucked into another dimension. The dimension is where human memories are disposed of. All kinds of weird creatures await the player. The game saving platypus is one of the strangest.
A lot of different visual effects were tried in Deep Labyrinth. The main problem is too much was tried for the Nintendo DS. This would have looked better on the Playstation Portable, but probably not played as well though. A lot of the areas are grainy, and many of the enemies are repeated. The animation is choppy at times. Certain graphics can lead to headaches in some areas if players move around too fast. Players use magic and physical violence to dispatch all of the monsters.
The voice acting at the beginning of Deep Labyrinth was pretty cool. Then there is a lot of odd humor, and finally some language issues. The bad language in Deep Labyrinth is not really needed in my opinion. I enjoyed the music in Deep Labyrinth, and believe you will too. There is a lot of talk of false gods in this game.
Players level up and get stronger the longer they play Deep Labyrinth. This Nintendo DS video game contains a decent amount of armor, equipment, items, and magical spells to unearth. I purchased Deep Labyrinth for under ten dollars, and feel like my money was wasted.
The best way to describe Deep Labyrinth is clunky. The controls are sluggish, and the layout of the levels is confusing. Fighting is one of two things: either easy or insanely hard. That all depends on your level. I found leveling up my character, and his sword would make fighting monsters easy. Getting into a new area would crank up the difficulty until I leveled up a few times again. I did not have much fun playing Deep Labyrinth. I like the concept of the first person dungeon crawler, but this hand held title has too many wide open spaces.
I find it
awesome that the main character in this game is trying to find his
family. The odd characters in Deep Labyrinth remind me of certain
religions. All of the talk of false gods bothered me, and made me
question why it was included in the first place. I am not interested in
sequels to this franchise. Pass on this one.
