Ore no disaster

I'll keep it short this time, even extremely short. I got a copy of Ore no Dungeon for the PSP (Japanese version). Theoretically, it is supposed to be role-playing game similar to old-school hits like Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master, Ishar or Lands of Lore. In practice, it turns out to be a complete waste of your time and money.

One of two nice screens in the game.

This post is a warning : do not buy this game. I really wonder how it passed through Sony quality control check. There are better homebrew games for PSP... a lot better. Perhaps some subtleties of the story have escaped me, but there is no denying - graphics are crude, sound is mediocre at best, gameplay is boring as hell.

That's how the game looks like while playing.

Introduction sequence is more or less on par with early Atari games (okay, there are more colours). Enemies are laughable and totally abstract. The style is incoherent. It takes away any credibility the world might have had. The shops and the city are but a few screens with a couple of options. The dungeons are all the same and they look very bland. Animation is jerky.

I don't know how to rephrase it, but maybe this will convince you: it is the worst game I have seen on the PSP so far. Avoid it.

I'll post second nice in-game screen, so that you see all that the game has to offer and don't even need to bother renting it.

Now you've seen all that there is to see in this game.
