I got the game, and played through the first day.
The game controls with the circle pad and stylus. Great for righties, not so good for lefties, I suppose. At least you don't need to be precise with the stylus. You just use it to slide up and down the screen to roll around quickly. Also you tap to chain combos on enemies.
The days are divided into day and night sections... during the day you roll around collecting money and stuff, mining, placing your defenses. Getting ready for the assault at night. There's not much action going on during the day...yet. I suppose it's a good opportunity to get the lay of the land.At night the enemies attack and you roll into them to start a battle, else you let your turrets take care of them. When you hit an enemy you go into a battle, kind of Zelda 2 style, except not 2D. Once you defeated all the enemies, you've succeeded and kicked back out to the map. Go find another enemy. So far the first day wasn't hectic at all, but I can see it getting intense when more and tougher enemies show up.
After the day you can accept side quests for extra cash, or level up your gear to do bigger combos, roll faster, or have more health.
The art style is really nice, fits the western theme. Dillon's a badass. The style kind of reminds me of a cel-shaded look in Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks. I wouldn't be surprised if this game comes from the DS Zelda team. The 3D is excellent. I didn't notice any ghosting, and the depth adds a lot because you're rolling around an expansive environment. Sound and music is very western-y and I like it.
Anxious to play more. |
