Super Duper Mini Review

 
Good:
  • Despite the larger portrait images, the ingame sprites look slick.
  • Nice and simple gameplay.  It's similar to Zelda.  Go around and hit A to hit things and gain levels while you do it.
  • The different classes and the simplistic skill trees are neat for a downloadable RPG.
Bad:
  • Boring quests that we have seen in other RPGs.  Mostly kill X number of monsters.
  • Forgettable characters that you have seen before.  Also, Regret is a terrible name for the main character.
  • The story is boring.  Some kid getting revenge and saving the world at the same time.  Been there done that.
  • The soundtrack is really plan and boring for an RPG game.  It also uses the same few songs through out the whole game.
  • Very grindy at times, especially towards the end of the game.
  • The translation could have be better.  Lots of grammar issues.
  • The ending was such a disappointment.  Few lines of text and BAM, it was over.
  • It costs $8.

Bottom Line

 Zenonia fails to do anything special for the genre.  There are tons of other great RPGs on the DS.  Don't waste your money on this and get something else instead.
