From the review - Only the most dedicated, willing to spend countless of hours into fruitless effort, will get a modicum of enjoyment out of Elminage Original. Enjoyment is not the exact term though; rather, it will be a feeling of withstanding hardships, with no lingering gratification present. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
Ninja Games Japan will release Elminage Original for the Nintendo 3DS in North America this week.
Push Square: "Elminage Original's classic design certainly offers an alternative to more modern dungeon crawlers, but its inability to explain even the simplest of mechanics make it a difficult game to get into. If you've got fond memories of classic RPG titles, then this offers a reasonable way to revisit that nostalgia. It is, however, a title that can only truly be recommended to a very small niche."
ZOMGPlay's Review of Elminage Original:
"Elminage is an old school dungeon crawler developed by Sunfish and released onto the European Playstation Network Store by Ghostlight Games. In it you explore dungeons with a party of adventurers to find 6 rings that have been scattered across the world by a group of sorcerers in order to restore the barrier around the great tower, Demon Fang."
