    Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy continues where Operation Abyss left off with a few improvements. The menus could have used some work but speeding up the battles and allowing more character customisation are great additions that make this a must buy for fans of the last game.

    This is certainly nor the best work form Experience Inc. nor the best dungeon crawler available on Playstation Vita, but can be a good choice for the ones that already completed better titles such as Demon Gaze and Stranger of Sword City.

    Operation Babel is a good dungeon crawler but not even close to Experience Inc’s best work or most of the competition on Vita.

    If you’re already previously invested in Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy‘s universe, characters and gameplay, then I’m sure there’s a lot to like here. However, for a newcomer to the series, the lack of tutorials is frustrating, the environments and world are visually bland, and the gameplay loop not engaging enough to make me want to come back for more.

    Operation Babel is a good Dungeon RPG, with a nice design, but it's less accessible than the other Dungeon Crawlers available on Vita, so be careful.

    The tediousness of exploration, battle, and menus really bog down Operation Babel, in spite of what the game does well.

    It’s a beautiful, elegant genre, and, when it all clicks, it’s a timeless formula. Unfortunately, Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy just asks too much of its players.

    There's only so far you can go in commending Operation Babel. As should be abundantly clear by now, if you loved Operation Abyss, then this game offers more of what that did, but otherwise, you won't need to bother with it.
