from Best Buy Summary:
Torneko "The Last Hope" is a game for the masochist. This game punishes the player from the get go as there is no way to build up levels and keep them. This game hosts multiple random dungeons where the user starts out at level 1 and is limited to a finite number of items that can be carried in. If Torneko dies in the dungeon he loses all his items, all his levels, half his gold and he must start the dungeon all over again. The only way to save progress in a dungeon is to save it at a save spot. However, the user can only continue once.
Because the game is based upon random generation, Torneko may be bombarded by monsters upon entering a dungeon or traveling to a new floor in the dungeon; sometimes resulting in death. One such random generation gem I discovered was that teleport traps can be placed inside shops. If Torneko picks up an item to buy and steps on a teleport trap while walking to the shop owner; he will be teleported to another room in the dungeon. Then, multiples of the shop owners kind will chase down Torneko and kill him (this is a shame as Torneko will then lose all his items, all his levels and half his gold as well as be forced to start the dungeon all over again).
Another disapointment is that the playability in no way resembles Dragon Warrior except for the borrowed music and monsters.
The redeeming quality of this game is its animated sequence at the beginning. Other than that, knowing what I know now, I would have never bought the game. Report this review >>
