It’s a decent sign that their next original project will be stunning in its design.Ask a question Submit memes/shitposts Hide Spoilers Daily Question Thread | Read our Wiki | Join our Discord | 2022 GotY Results | Send a ModMail It’s a shame not to see anything new here for the gameplay, but the 4K visuals and orchestral soundtrack do a lot to drive home the point that VanillaWare make good looking and sounding games. Since the characters are all archetypal fantasy class tropes, a hyper-sexualised male bard would have been a very tongue-in-cheek nod to the initial criticisms held against the game and seems like a missed opportunity.Īlas, what we do have is a port that’s far more breathtaking in its presentation, even if it’s the same game from nearly five years ago. The decision to include cross-play may have hampered the potential for additional stuff here, but maybe new levels, new enemies/bosses, or perhaps new character class complete with a skill tree could have been added. I would have liked to have seen something new included with this version. That’s not to say I agree wholeheartedly as the genre does have certain limitations, though VanillaWare were at the cusp of exceeding them with the game’s RPG design philosophy and quest structure. These changes emphasise the game’s strengths, but don’t really address the weaknesses that were pointed out in our original review, as far as I’m concerned, namely of repetitive combat that doesn’t really evolve over the course of the game. It’s obviously no replacement for a proper mouse, but it does feel better than other control options in my opinion. You could use the right analogue stick and shoulder button to direct the thief, but the touchpad allows for a more dynamic experience that feels more like using a mouse. Of course, this version is prettier and boasts an orchestral soundtrack, but we’re not one to judge!Īs the game was released on both PS3 and PS Vita, it makes sense for the PS4 version to take advantage of the controller in some way. So in case your friends don’t have a 4K TV or wish to splash out on a brand new version of a game they already own, you can still play with them.
In perhaps the nicest touch for existing fans, there’s a path for the original game on both PS3 and PS Vita that allows save data to be compatible with the new PS4 version, as well as enable cross-play for multiplayer.
