This game is unexpectedly really good for something I have never heard of before playing it. It's a light, simple, fun, and low-pressure adventure that is aimed at kids. But its simplicity is also probably its strongest plus, because nearly everything this game aims to do is simply done pretty well. Visuals and Story Firstly, the game is visually really good looking. It originally came out around 2004 for... Windows.... and then later the PSP and 3DS. Visually, the game actually looks similar to other really stunning games like Mega Man Legends to me. Past the actual modelling/texturing of the game, other things don't hold up as well. The game runs at 30fps, effects are sometimes too cheap or bright, a lot of sound effects are odd and the audio balancing can be off. There are also a decent bit of mistranslations. However! I believe this somehow adds to the charm of the game, so I seriously don't mind it much. The game also has (poorly) animated cutscenes with voice acting from an accomplished cast of actors and actresses. The game's story is extremely simple and pretty predictable in just about every way, which is fine. It's not trying to be anything deep. Combined with the style of humour that is kind of like a cartoon, it's clear that the game is trying to be fun rather than thought-provoking. Also, the main character Parin is cute and she has a lot of snark that makes her memorable as a character even against other video games. Gameplay This is where things get kind of weird as well. The game is an RPG, but it's also a platformer/adventure game. You have a drill that you can run around and attack with, drill through walls to find secrets, and interact with the world via elemental gear changes. The drill itself has combos that you can perform against enemies, which is in turn boosted by a really weird mechanic being the rhythm bar the top. For some reason, they decided that you can get critical hits if you attack to the beat of the song, which is shown at the top. However... most of the songs in the game are high tempo, meaning you can usually mash/ignore this entirely and do just fine. It's awkward to time otherwise. You also have a homing attack and you will need to do homing attack chains a la Sonic the Hedgehog. You also have upgrades to your moveset that gives access to (((OP))) special moves. Weirdly though, you perform these by "doing a spin" around Parin. This is probably vestigial from the original Windows version where you perhaps needed to do this with a mouse, but on a controller this means doing a 360. However... the game counts like ANYTHING as a 360 and so will make homing attack chains and movement really hard for the wrong reason. The game's UI is also really strange. You'll be pulling up some kind of overlay when you pause, which freezes the game. This is usually done to swap drill elements, which is kind of a pace breaker with how often you need to do it. It also has a pretty small inventory for an RPG, which gets annoying. One other important gameplay element is Drill Level. You gain it by hitting enemies and digging up holes, you lose it by getting hit. Drill Level increases your damage and intensity of special moves, so it's important to not take damage. Lastly, you get a lot of fun cosmetics to unlock over the course of multiple playthroughs that affect gameplay in various ways. These cosmetics are part of a broader reward system that is in place for exploring thoroughly. From desktop screensavers to outfits to abilities to weapon parts, this game really wants you to look around. And honestly, it's very well done. I'm just finding this out now, but there is even a secret unlockable character to play if you get the true ending multiple times. More on that soon... RPG...? Now on to less-than-good things. Firstly, I get it's an RPG so it gets its replay value from repeated playthroughs. But... why is it so grindy? Getting 1500+ scrap to fully upgrade a SINGLE hat in the game with most armoured enemies dropping like 5 per is crazy. The game also wants you to 100% like FIVE TIMES to get the true ending. While the other playthroughs have NG+ difficulty, new gimmicks, and a few cool changes/secrets, this is tedious. To S rank one level, you need to hit every pot, kill every enemy, and open every chest. The game WILL hide at least one of these in a clever spot, forcing meticulous backtracking. Now, do this for every level in the game. Five times. And every playthrough is 15-35 hours long. No, I don't think I will. Why The mustache NPC, Cylinder. Why bro? Maybe his lines are supposed to be a sick attempt at shock humour, but he's an older man that constantly flirts with Parin and she is 12. From his gross lines to him giving his "Sweaty Parts" to you as a drill upgrade (this is real) , it's really out of place and makes no sense in the game as NOTHING else is like it. So like, why? He alone is a legitimate demerit on the game. This combined with what happens when you use a health restoration point gives me a really odd feeling about some people behind the game. Conclusion That nastiness aside, if you want a cozy game with a classic feeling, great OST, cool bosses, and plenty of secrets (too many to count), this is a good buy. It's relatively cheap but I think it tends to go on sale. It's not perfect by any means, but I think for what it sought to do it did well. Sad there's no sequel because I really enjoyed this weird game, definitely underrated.
Played this for the first time at the ripe old age of 29 and was really captivated by it, decided to go for 100% just to play it more. If you played this game as a kid and were in the trenches telling people it's an underrated hidden gem I just wanna say you're so valid for that. Fun game with a lot of soul and a banging soundtrack.
Charming, to say the least. Janky, but very fun. Combat is mindless and gets rather repetitive since you mostly spam the big wave move and otherwise use the air dash or charge drill. A bit repetitive, but combat is fun. Rather long, took me about 12 hours to finish all dungeons and minigames. The dub is cheesy as hell, laugh worthy. Music gets surprisingly good at the end. Mostly very easy, only the last boss and the secret one gave some trouble. Got annoyed by a few things: -The grind for money/junk gets REALLY bad, you need about 1400 junk to max one headgear, and you get maybe 30 or so per level. -Some dungeons are repeats of older dungeons, but mirrored. -I finished the game 100% with all dungeons with an S+ rank, yet I didn't get the S rank achievement. -I learned WAY LATE in the game that I locked myself of an entire collectable because I skipped some dialogue. There is some sort of platinum medal you can find, but I probably pressed the wrong choice when I was skipping dialogue and that causes all medals in the game to not appear. Controls are weird, like it was supposed to be played with a mouse or a motion control like the Wii, but works kinda fine with a regular controller. A little mindless fun with a quirky setting, not groundbreaking, but reminds me of old PS1 games.
Cute and entertaining beat-em-up/platformer hybrid with some minigames interspersed throughout. Playing the game on Easy or Normal is a fun and relaxing experience, the story and cutscenes have a dreamlike surreal quality and it feels like a fun late era PS1/PS2 platformer with the charm of a game like Tron Bonne. The only thing I can complain about is that the controls can be slightly imprecise leading to some frustration in some of the later levels and occasional "where do I go to progress??" syndrome. Overall a good port of the PSP game albeit you may have to consult a guide for a few puzzles. Achievement hunters may be frustrated because many things are rank dependent and getting the highest rank on many of these stages in my opinion is not worth the time or frustration particularly on high difficulties. Overall 7/10 - Check it out
