when I post Mario Kart 8, nobody guesses it either, because it’s too obvious! I am stuck between a rock and my crotch.
I knew that colour was awfully familiar in three first couple of shots, I am relieved to finally having placed it. It’s the best game for anyone who liked drawing maps of 3d dungeons. It’s weird nobody tried to copy that aspect of the game: instead its legacy is that it spawned a bunch of RPGs with questionable character design!
There’s a Mario Kart 8? See this is my problem, I’m happy to guess anything I can ID but there’s a broad swath of gaming I’m no longer up on.
Right? And it’s a tragedy, because the mapping is so great. Though admittedly, I don’t know how you’d capture that feel without the DS’s pad and the stylus. I bought a DS specifically for the Etrian games, and don’t regret it.
Anyway, I shall guess Dead Cells and be comically wrong.
But not having seen any other takes on that genre on the DS is still a bit sad. Beyond the fascinating single handed map drawing, Etrian’s bugs, grind and balances quite hampered my fun.
Can’t really speak to the balance, but I didn’t have any bug problems. And grind? I got through the whole first game without ever replaying anything, as I recall.
