One Guy
Flash level, monotonous and unattractive graphics, cranky and unintuitive controls, annoying music and sounds, poor story with cheesy dialogue and stale references (although I am writing this in 2013).
Gameplay is very poor. Very little options to design ur experience. Items have poor variation and some items should not even exist. There is no reason that you should buy an amulet that revives you twice when you can buy one that revives you 4 times, for just 20 more rupees (game currency), when you have over 1k rupees. Poor rewards, you open chests just to find the key to the next room, how is that any different from the normal where the room just opens? The gameplay looked like a hack and slash initially ...but it's not... you only have a couple of lives and all the mobs are designed to CC you in some way (freeze, slow, push back, stun, fear ... anything you can think of) which results in a horrible gameplay experience where you have no control of your charachter 30% of the time. Even you own charachter messes up your control, if you attack a box or wall you get knoked back. You mostly die when you have no choice, not because of a mistake you did. I've played on both difficulties and have not felt any difference in gameplay and difficuly. The minigames unlocked through game rewards that dissapointingly aren't treasure are almost impossible ... you need both extreme skills and a huge amount of luck to complete, it's a mixture of some very difficult timed events with random elements that overlap into something frustrating. I have no idea why this game has such a high rating ... it's very very poor. I'm really glad I got this one in a bundle and did not pay much for it.
