    The unconventional controls and overall difficulty will likely scare off most, but for fans of old-school dungeon crawlers, this will come as a breath of fresh air.

    While hardly the greatest dungeon crawler ever produced, exploring this labyrinth is worthwhile for a certain audience. Falcom has plenty of other series that have gone without new iterations for many years, though the length of time since Brandish was remade seems to indicate that it unfortunately didn't start a trend.

Music is really freaking good too, Must play imo.… Full Review »

It's a PSP remake that blows the original SNES game away. Absolutely amazing hardcore stuff. Great controls, excellent graphics, stupendous music, and tough as nails gameplay. Falcom and XSEED's swan song for the PSP deserves to be enjoyed by as many players as possible. Don't miss this if you have a PSP and enjoy a true challenge. And for an even truer challenge, give Dela mode a try as well.… Full Review »
