    LOVE IT! So far I’ve put 15 hours into the game. It reminds me of Zelda, I love RPGs. The game is quite challenging, draws you in, makes you want to find everything about everyone in it. All the delightful secrets. All the beautiful locations you can visit. Despite the lower pricing, everything about the game screams high quality. Definitely a great buy. I was pleasantly surprised.

Don’t be fooled by the cute style, this is not a watered down game for small children. I am over 40 and I loved it. My husband loved it, too. Special note for parents with girls. This is a MUST. The main character is someone you want your child to have as a great friend. So are all the supporting characters. I don’t claim to have played everything on the 3DS, but I won’t be surprised if this was one of the very best 3D action games on it.… Expand

    Love this game. Probably the action-RPG on the 3DS and I've played them all, or pretty nearly.
    The game moves fast, the levels are hard but reasonable, voice acting is good. Feels like a little like Zelda but with more platforming and constant use of weapons.
    The characters are cute, so it would be easy not to realize this is a pretty serious game, but it totally is.

    The Nintendo 3DS eShop is a motherlode of great games. New gems are constantly being excavated and Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure is one such jewel. Originally developed by Nihon Falcom for Windows way back in 2004 and later released for the Sony PlayStation Portable, the game is a refreshing take on the Action RPG genre that the 3DS needs more of.

    An average game. Nice 3D, sometimes confuse movement and camera, it's a Zelda-like with some unique traits and faults. Fair price.

    This game is very good. Gurumin excels at most things it does. The gameplay is very light, but fun. Took me roughly 10h to finish it doing every stage and optional fights. Try it out and you won't regret it.

    Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure does not aim to reinvent the wheel and it certainly couldn't aspire to that with its struggling camera and often imprecise jumping, which make the experience more time-consuming than it should, but this doesn't erase an accessible plot and long-lasting gameplay, once the game's dynamics set in.

    You can expect a lot of charming dialogue, easy puzzles, amazing soundtrack and satisfying combat. Unfortunately you will be forced to battle not only your enemies but also terrible camera. [01/2017, p.75]

    Fun and simplistic action-RPG that is 10 years old, but it's still capable of offering a ton of hours of enjoyment.
