Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts |
|
The DS version picks up a few centuries after the PSP version, and follows the story of heroes who rise to fight against the evil Demon God and his legions of the undead. Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts is a fully customizable adventure; throwing hundreds of weapons, skills, and fighting styles your way while keeping the classic game’s exciting multiplayer element intact.

Granted, Dungeon Explorer lacks some of that proper execution, particularly with the graphics and the storytelling, but overall, it's not a bad game.

Far too repetitive to hold interest, and even fans of the hack-and-slash genre will be bored by the lack of originality.

While the game won't be mistaken for something on a scale with Final Fantasy, it does push old-school dungeon-crawler buttons that will trigger fond memories in veteran players. [Mar 2008, p.85]

You get exactly what you pay for with Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts. There are dungeons, and players explore them as warriors, using Arts. It's just that basic, and that only lasts so long.

Play Magazine
Unfortunately, while the intimidation that comes along with many a dungeon crawler is lacking here, so too is an overall sense of polish: control and combat are just too stiff, and character and monster sprites are thoroughly bland. [Mar 2008, p.66]

It’s nothing revolutionary or even particularly interesting or compelling, but it’s not broken either. Those bored and desperate for an RPG fix can give this title a shot.

It's got a solid, enjoyable core experience, but Hudson isn't able to deliver enough quality content for the context.

While no particular aspect of the game is downright terrible, there's just nothing I can really point to and say, "See, this part of the game is awesome!"
