Mazes of Fate: Nintendo DS

Model number: 8012205 | SKU: 8947633

SynopsisCenturies ago, the land of Akhiel was lovely and prosperous, blessed by the gods with all good things. But when the people of Akhiel took their blessings for granted and turned their backs on the gods, the gods turned their backs on Akhiel, leaving the land in chaos and misery. Much later, a prophet emerged, proclaiming a path to redemption that would bring the land and its people back into the gods' graces, and the people declared him king. But his plan was thwarted by an evil force called the Netherlings, who stole the powerful Redemption Stone. Ever since, he has wandered Akhiel, fighting Netherlings and devious Rebels in his quest to ensure salvation for his people. Meanwhile, the people have suffered, and many have given up all hope. The time is ripe for a hero to step in and reshape the fate of this beleaguered land. Enter the Mazes of Fate for a gripping and magical adventure in a fantastic land. Take on the role of an epic hero in one of a variety of character classes, or combine various powers to create your own unique character. Embark on an incredible journey that will take you through caves, swamps, fortresses, dungeons and other ominous locations where you will encounter dangerous magical creatures and fiendishly difficult puzzles you must solve in order to fulfill your quest. Wield powerful magical spells as you fight for your life and strive to safeguard the fate of an entire people.

Best Dungeon RPG for the DS   07/31/2008
By rpgdestruction

What's great about it: Epic storyline, great characters, tons of enemies and dungeons to explore for hours, fully 3D first-person perspective
What's not so great: Difficulty can be intense at times

"This is an excellent game. I was not previously a huge fan of dungeon-crawlers (more of a Final Fantasy guy), but this game has almost changed my mind about dungeon crawlers all together. The storyline has to be one of my favorite parts, it is a story of betrayal and redemption on an epic scale. There are several characters to choose from each with unique strengths and weaknesses which will completely alter the way in which you play the game (replay value). You can even customize your own character. The 3D first person dungeon exploring is unlike anything I have seen on the DS before, the controls still manage to be smooth and intuitive. There are hours and hours of gameplay here too, tons of different dungeons to explore, tons of items to find, tons of enemies to battle, several different characters will join (and leave) your party on your quest, and tons of side quests as well. The difficulty can be overwhelming at times until you figure out how to properly level-up your characters by playing to their strengths (and minimizing weaknesses). Watch out for the Dream Demons, they are tough. Great game and a must own for any rpg fan with a DS."

Great Exploring Game   07/31/2008
By Anonymous Reviewer from Cali

What's great about it: Updated Graphics, Tons of New Armor, Hours of Great Gameplay, Riveting Story
What's not so great: Its only on the DS! haha

"This is a game that you can be unfamiliar with this genre and jump right into the adventure. It has a very easy story to follow but there are many Dungeons and Caves to explore that feel never ending. These dungeons are huge with hidden walls and switches with a never ending supply of items, if you know how to search... HINT HINT! You will put many hours into this game not only going through the story line but searching for hours in multi-floored caves/dungeons. There are tons of enemies and some really cool boss battles. Lots of spells and items to use to always keep you busy. Great DS touch screen integration and it is even Right or Left handed compatible. All around good game. If you want a good DS game to take on the go when your bored in the world... Mazes of Fate DS is the way to go..."
