Nidzumi: Baroque Review: Conceptally Better Than The Result

Nidzumi writes: "When Nintendo aim their system at the casual demographic it’s always weird when you find a super hardcore rogue-like RPG game ported from the Saturn. It might not sound like the best fit but that didn’t stop Sting Entertainment doing it.

Baroque takes place after an event called the blaze that changed the world as we know it. Set in 2032, humans have now been turned into Meta-Beings. These are people who have lost their minds & hearts to the Baroques. The protagonist must then travel to the bottom of the Neuro Tower while purifying Meta-Beings he encounters along the way. The game starts off in a very ambiguous way as the protagonist doesn’t remember who he is or what he’s done wrong. All you are told is that you are the only one who can purify these Meta-Beings."

Pros:

+Great Story

+Conceptually Great…

Cons:

-…Actually Not So Good

– Terribly Out-Dated Graphics

– Awkward Controls
