Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja (DS) (Nintendo DS Games)

This one's redundant

Izuna and her band of fellow ninjas have been sacked from the local castle. It seems the nearest recruitment centre is in a local village, but when Izuna shows up, she accidentally enrages the six resident gods and throws a curse on the entire population

Even though Izuna is all about her appearance, her game is not a 3D extravaganza. Instead, it's a 2D breath of fresh air. For all those old RPG players out there desperately clinging to the "good ol' days", your dusty prayers have been answered. Izuna...

Atlus has always been about the niche gamer. Their releases have traditionally been aimed at the most hardcore game players, and their latest DS release, Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja, is no exception. With a subtitle like that, it can be...

In the end, Izuna is nothing more than a short and simple game that provides a thoroughly unsatisfying experience. While the localization is excellent, not only is there not enough of it, what's already there is lost in the torrent of monstrous...

Don't let this cute kunoichi's looks seduce you.

I wasn't that big on those RPGs that fly under the radar until part of the way through the PS2's life. It was then that I heard about a little-talked about game published by Atlus known as Disgaea. I found the last copy that my game store had and...

Izuna is, overall, a fun game. While it is often incredibly difficult, you’ll eventually get through the dungeons. The only time I found myself overly frustrated with the game was when I got mobbed by one of the famous endless strings of monsters –...

Another day at the RPG mill.

Kudos to Atlus for yet another solid translation. "Old-school" difficulty

Dated gameplay + steep learning curve and cheap deaths = little entertainment for those not in the market

Since the days of the SNES a company named Chunsoft has been making dungeon hack games based on other franchises. The series name, "fushigi no dungeon," translates roughly as "mystery dungeon," which should sound immediately familiar to anyone who owns...

Why do I continue to come back to this game that abuses me so? It must be love
