Sahil Writes 'Lapis x Labyrinth from NIS released on May 31 2019 and with a tagline that reads “Stack, raid, get PAID”, it definitely piqued our interest. The game makes extensive use of hack and slash dungeon crawling mechanics and if you’re a fan of button bashing, this game will be right up your alley.'
"Lapis x Labyrinth surprised me several times. An anglerfish dragon was shockingly deadly, as were poisonous trap plants. A fire boss required careful maneuvering, and the last boss forced me to rework my weapon loadout for elemental damage. I don’t take the distinct memories of these moments as a great commendation of the game. From moment to moment, the game demands doing the same actions all the way through, with upgrades to break up the monotony. And yet, Lapis x Labyrinth didn’t feel tedious. Whether that’s because it is fun or numbing, I’m not sure. Probably a bit of each."
Interesting, not usually into these kinds of puzzle games per se but this sounds neat.
Lapis X Labyrinth is a 2d RPG platformer meets a flashy casino experience. NIS has put together an interesting RPG that has some replayability. The biggest question is there enough to keep new and veteran players interested.
In Lapis x Labyrinth, the presentation is great, the music is catchy, the colors are extravagant, and the action is fun despite its flaws.
