There's numerous game references and humor thrown in to keep what small amount of story there is fresh.Īs you begin the game, you're opted to choose a pre-made hero or create your own from scratch using the wonderful character creation tool. It's nothing we haven't see before, but the simple story works. It is up to your custom hero to seek aid of the six sages, conquer foe and beast alike, and reclaim the six orbs to take the fight back to the sinister Fuelle. It is many eons later, and a new evil has arisen, stealing the dark orb. Legends tell of a young warrior who gathered the six fabled orbs to vanquish an ancient evil, sealing it inside the dark orb. The kingdom of Dotnia is in serious need of a hero.

What the game lacks in originality, it makes up for in sheer fun and charm. While it borrows heavily from a certain Nintendo franchise featuring a mythical princess and a triforce, 3D Dot Game Heroes offers a unique twist on the Zelda formula.


Atlus and From Software have teamed up to recreate such a game for current-gen hardware, 3D Dot Game Heroes. Many of us now in college or even older hark back to a time where boops and beeps reigned supreme, where arcade high scores were that era's trophies and achievements, and where gaming was just much simpler.
