    A lackadaisical approach to the hack-and-slash role playing genre. Nevertheless, there are enough bright moments to overlook the game's several detriments, which include mediocre visuals, a poor camera, a confusing synthesis system, and an uneven difficulty.

    An uninspired dungeon-crawler mired by boring, repetitive gameplay, and more design flaws than you can shake a gladius at.

    Warriors of the Lost Empire is super-simple, fails at delivering a compelling story and is far from perfect, but if you're looking to hack-and-slash your way through hordes of enemies and upgrade some weapons as well as attributes, there are worse ways to spend your free time on the PSP.

    Warriors of the Lost Empire is a game you'll want to like, but only hardcore fans of the hack & slash genre will have a very easy time forgiving its flaws.

    Probably the closest thing to compare it to would be the Dynasty Warriors series. Its games are not known for being the most in-depth, but they at least strike the good balance between hack-and-slash and RPG that Warriors lacks.

    Warriors of the lost empire is a classic hack-and-slash rol videogame with a gameplay very repetitive without innovations. The proposal is good at first glance but has many technical bugs. Only recommended for the followers of the dungeon and dragon´s style.

I purchased the game when it was first released, only played it for a few hours, then put it down in favor of a more developed console game. A few weeks later, I traded it in, deciding that it didn't offer much in the way of innovation. Months passed, and when I got in the mood to play a good portable action game, I started to miss WotLE. I searched it out at my local GameStops, but the game had become somewhat of a rarity, thus increasing my desire to play it again. I finally found a mint copy on eBay for a decent price, and it now stands as one of my favorite action games on PSP. The point is this - Warriors of the Lost Empire may not offer a revolutionary experience, but it gets the basics right and presents them in such a clean, refreshing fashion that it satisfies all of your desires for hack-and-slash fun. If you enjoy dungeon runs, looting, building a character's skills and weapons, and other Diablo-esque conventions, WotLE hits all the right notes, even if it doesn't do much to advance the genre. There aren't many games like this on PSP (the original Untold Legends and Dungeon Siege ToA may be the only comparable titles), and WotLE deserves more attention than is evident on first impression.… Full Review »
