  1. If you don’t mind the style and feel of RPGs of days gone by, but with a unique twist thanks to the touch screen options, then Tao’s Adventure will happily fill the empty void in your DS library when it comes to genre.

    Credo che sia il gioco più deludente che abbia mai portato a termine...monotono sotto ogni punto di vista....

Based on Azure Dreams, it's like half a sequal. You keep your levels this time, you monsters don't lose MP just for being collared the exp rewards don't lesson when you have one or both or your monsters collared. Missed is the random dungeon floors and their earthquakes and the subquests to earn the favor of a girl. As for dying I also enjoy going back to the last save versus waking up sans your equipment. If you enjoy these kinds of games and like Azure Dreams then Tao is worth checking out.. You will have to get used to using the touch screen to play though. Full Review »

I wish some sort of game mechanic made drawing out your spells necessary, as it is, it has no value other than replacing a spell selection menu. There's very few places in the entire game that put you in unique tactical situations. And save points are a pet peeve of most gamers, and this game provides one that is really difficult not to be annoyed with over time. As the mixed reviews will testify, this is not a game for everyone. You must be able to enjoy slower paced games, and you must have a high tolerance for repetition. If you have both of those qualities, you'll find a lot of subtle things within the game that make it enjoyable. If you don't possess those traits, odds are you'll never complete the game and never give the game a second thought. In a nutshell, this game is a mix of Diablo, Pokemon, and Final Fantasy Tactics, but unfortunately, isn't quite as good as any of it's parents. Full Review »
