I have had Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth on my wishlist for quite some time. I've heard it's a pretty decent metroidvania/symphony of the night clone that while good is rather short. The whole game could be completed 100% in a single weekend. This is mainly why I had this one on my wishlist.
Graphically it looks like it came right out of a PS1 Castlevania game and has that look and charm to it. This would be the perfect new game to play if I only had a couple of days to play something new before a bigger title. Once it becomes cheap I am in.
So when it did, it was an wasy purchase. It's a fun albeit standard metroidvania game, with the classic map design and room completion look that many have copied from Castlevania. It's not hard by any means and completion feels like it moves at a brisk pace. There plenty of different enemy designs and bosses thrown throughout so I'm never fighting the same enemies again and again.
The story I didn't get anything out of. I think this game is based off an anime I"m not sure but no knowledge of it's source material is required. Heck it seems like it doesn't really add anything to it as far as I could tell.
I think if you go into this with the right expectations you can find some good short burst of fun. As long as the price is good. Record of Lodoss War was a tasty snack before I save room for a much bigger meal but in it's wait I'm not hungry.
