Mini Review: So many rooms so little time...

This entire game is just a set of challenges you must overcome to compete it. Before I go into that I want to explain how combat works. Pushing the right stick on the game pad causes a 3 hit combo on a enemy if you don't have a weapon. Different objects in the environment can be used as a weapon like a pool cue or a giant cake. Also power ups are scattered around the area to make the room harder or easier depending on which one you pick up. Like I first mentioned each room is just a set of challenge rooms and the fact that each room randomizes the players heath points in that direction. Along with a set of things you mustn't do like don't kill a certain enemy or beat everyone before time runs out. It is almost like each room is a new puzzle you must figure out to continue.

Thanks to the fact that this game is cel shaded it holds up a lot better than other games in the visual department. The gameplay department is a bit lacking though since other than the sections with overpowered weapons the combat becomes boring after a while. Since it is just doing the same thing over and over again. The story is also nonresistant other than to give a reason the heroes are locked in a spooky mansion and must figure out how to escape. Luckily the game doesn't overstay it's welcome since it is pretty short at around 5 hours. In the end this game is a reasonable set of challenge rooms that might be fun to play through depending on if that sounds fun to you.
