Game Reviews: Darkstone

4 words "THIS GAME IS FUCKING EPIC"!!! With that said I hope you liked my review goodnight. :3



Wut your still here?...Fine I'll really review it this time. Anyway I've gotten quite addicted to this piece of masterful video game creation, yes it has bad graphics/rendering BUT it's a PS1 game so what can you expect it's nowhere near to WoW graphics BUT it lacks fun, it lacks knowing wtf to do. Anyway yes it's a Diablo rip-off but it's got it's differences like parse the kickass theme you heard up there ^, it has different places to go like you a dungeon that Diablo doesn't have, nor does it have forests so yeah you don't go 'round collecting stones in Diablo either. Yes this game is all about collection stones from different dungeons (6 stones to be exact). Now I've not gotten too too far because I've just about collected my second stone, did I mention I'm a level 19 theif? :3 Anyway it's time to go into technical stuff now.

Controls

Now I'm playing the emulator of the PSX BUT I've played the original game I use to have on my PS2 when I was about 7. Yes I'm 16 but heeeeey I'm cool parse? anyway due to the actual controller not having too too many buttons I give the controls 10 out of 10.

Gameplay

The gameplay is epic win although SOME people bitch about the gameplay due to the map screen being a ENTIRELY different map JUST if you take 5 steps, now I've yet to have a problem with the map screen due to it being REALLY EASY to navigate. I give the gameplay 10 out of 10.

Graphics

Now for a PS1 game you've not to expect Xbox360 graphics, but hey they're not bad I mean they don't mess with you, yes it has bad rendering, yes the people look like N64 outcasts. But hey it's PS1 it's not like it's Xbox360 or anything. But if you were to play the PC version you'll find the game identical to WoW just a different place where the inventory is and voice acting, BUT we're not talking about the PC version we're talking about the Playstation version~epic 8 out of 10 graphics.

Replay value

Now there is TONS of replay value mostly due to the game having five difficulties, Novice, Expert, Master, Hero, and Legend. So that's a shitload of replay value. 10 out of 10.

But is there bad things? Yes one thing the monsters have no chance against you once your level 10 which you'll get in 3 hours.
