Gauntlet Seven Sorrows

[Daijaga]

Is NOT worth buying.

And unless you have three friends and a multi tap, its really not worth renting. Faye, Shinigami and I (and Aradia for a bit) beat the game in about 4 hours. Theres nothing too unlock, no extra classes, no extra levels, no extra nothing. You can buy out your moves list in easily one play though and aside from the wizard, the other classes play very similar. The elf isnt giving more advantage with the bow (which is stupid), nor is he faster than anyone else (which is also stupid). Top it off with online play that is just as unrewarding as the single or in home multiplayer, and add ridiculously choppy lag, and you have a title with tons of promise but terribel delivery.

It has high points, xp, levels and point based stats; a rich story and beautiful art work and levels as well as level design. The gameplay itself is fast but fun, and the execution of moves and learning how to work as a team is similiarly great. There are effects like blind, AoEs, and the easy to use launch button sends enemies flying is great clumps, giving you that "Im Saurion, mo-fackos" feeling when wading into battle.

But the bad far outweighs the good and a title with so much thought put into fails to offer replay value, any hint of customization, nor feeling of acomplishment. I weep for you Seven Sorrows. I believed in you.
