Best Forms Of Flattery
September 15th, 20093D Dot Game Heroes doesn’t so much reek of Zelda as rip it off in every way, shape, and form, from the enemies to the music to the gameplay to the style (with a little Dragon Warrior thrown in on the character design, if I’m not mistaken). I’m still interested in it, though.
I am curious, however, if the style will actually inhibit or help the gameplay. It’s one thing to design a game that kinda looks retro, but it’s another to do something useful with it. Like Chekhov’s gun, if the only point of the style is to make people feel vaguely nostalgic, I think it might actually hurt the game.
