It is very frustrating at times thanks to a near useless map, very vague directions (the temple is east), and a save system that punishes you for dying in the game. The game is a near perfect homage to the genre, and I actually have a feeling that the younger generation of gamers may not actually ‘get’ what this game is trying to do. Nostalgia is definitely the name of the game here, anyone who spent any amount of time gaming in the 1980s will appreciate what From Software put out here. From Software in all their glory decided to essentially copy the formula of Zelda and apply some new graphical style in a “new” game called 3D Dot Game Heroes, with a healthy dose of From Software’s trademarked ass-kicking sauce to keep you playing late into the night. Remember the Teenage Ninja Turtles game? All memories are golden, but playing again is a rage-inducing experience. Sadly as we age, nostalgia also seems to polish the games in our past and set them on pedestals which, generally speaking, upon revisiting don’t quite shine as much as we once thought.
How often do you think back to the golden age of video games and long for the top down action that was The Legend of Zelda or the wandering of maps that Dragon Age brought to you on your NES? Short of either hooking up your classic system to your fancy new TV, or some other unscrupulous method - playing these games was tough to accomplish.
