Title: Crimson shroud-3DS e-shop, awesomeness!
Post by: P/\/\\/o on December 21, 2012, 04:42:07 PM
This game is a virtual pen-and-paper RPG campaign, the great music alone is worth the price! Nintendolife gave it a 9 out of 10, and they are usually never generous with e-shop games, since the majority of them tend to be poor.

Did you get this yet? What do you think?

Now that is very original! As far as I know there has never been a table-top RPG like that converted into a digital media RPG. Dayyyyuum! It even has the dice!!

I've been playing this and it's not that bad. In fact, there is a lot of aesthetic charm from the immobile pieces. Imagine taking a Warhammer model or a plastic D&D figure and just playing with them in a mock-fight like most of us did with our toys as kids. Like having them attack just snaps the model shoulder-first towards the target. There are some "choose your own adventure" choices but so far I haven't seen them offer much change.
From what I can tell there is no way (at least so far) to sell off un-used items. On the flip-side, it looks like every weapon and piece of armour appears on your character. Using the stylus (or the little joystick) you pick up the dice, rattle them, and then toss them. If you just try to pick them up and drop them, it won't let you. The game introduces new concepts to you as you go along, and allows you to re-watch tutorials, so that's always a plus.
And you'll either love or hate the omission of a narrator for the DM.

Finished the 1st playtrough with the bad ending, and started the game+, which is super hard!  :-\

you can get the good ending on the first playtrough, too. But in the +game you can unlock areas, which were not available on the 1st go.
