Cladun X3

I was talking with a friend about Disgaea. I mentioned to him that I had a slight addiction to another franchise by nis soft called Cladun. I remember it having a lot of the same over the top mechanics from Disgaea. He looked it up. (Friend) "Cladun? Do you mean Cladun X3? "(Me) "Wait don't you mean X 2.? ... WAIT WHAT!!!???" So an instant purchase and a week later it says a number over 30 hours play time on my steam page. I can also hear a voice in my room chanting "Gamble gate, Gamble gate, Gamba, Gamba, Gamba". It might be my voice? Cladun X3 is in my opinion a wildly undermarketed game that I can recommend to anyone who loves weirdly quirky and complex Japanese games. It doesn't do anything that previous Cladun games have not done. But it does the things they did do a lot better. I absolutely adore this game, and I wish it all the attention it deserves. Now that this review is done I got some Rangeons to get back to. GAMBA GAMBA!!!!

[h1]危険予知n項目[/h1] 罠をジャンプで飛び越えた先は[b]地雷罠[/b] センサー罠をスライディングでくぐった先は[b]イモータル罠[/b] 倒した敵の下は[b]地震罠[/b] 不用意なジャンプは[b]攻撃で吹き飛び罠に着地[/b] 茶色タイルのフロアには[b]地震罠[/b] 飛行すれば地面罠とは無縁だが[b]センサー罠で蜂の巣[/b] 普通のゲートでも[b]モンスターレベル大幅アップ[/b] 走った先に[b]闇のゲート[/b] 出口があるけどまだ余裕があると見送れば[b]いくら進めど出口が無い[/b] 不注意と慢心と知識不足で成果が一瞬にして水泡に帰す。危機意識育成ゲーム。 [b]今日も一日ご安全に！[/b] で、どんなゲームかと言うと、キャラを好きなだけ育てて数値で殴る、いつもの日本一。 序盤から挑戦出来るのは主に 「チュートリアルとタイムアタックがメインになるストーリーダンジョン」 「不思議のダンジョンみたいに自動生成される100F構成のダンジョンを突き進むランジョン」 「ドラクエ9みたいにダンジョンの傾向が記録された地図からランジョンを作って挑むチズジョン」 序盤は遊べないが、色々遊んでると解放されるガチ勢向けのダンジョン。 主にランジョンとチズジョンがメインコンテンツになるか。 キャラクターや武器なんかを自作出来るのもこのシリーズの特徴。それらをネットワーク上で自作マップに公開出来る。 公開されたマップに遊びに行く事も出来るので、ドットが打てなくても職人さんが作ったキャラクターの外見を借りて遊ぶ事もできる。 また、先述のチズジョンの地図も公開出来るので、簡単で稼ぎ効率のいい地図を貰って稼ぐも良し、超高難易度だけどレアアイテムざっくざくな(環境にしやすい)地図に挑戦するも良しだ。 しかしこのゲーム、要素が盛りだくさんなだけに情報が全然揃わない(wikiはあるが充実しているとは言い難い) チュートリアルや解説NPCは存在するが、それでも分からないことが多い。特にどうすればキャラクターを強化できるのか、具体的な例が抜けているのが問題だ。 なので代わりにここに記しておく。 [b]名声を上げてヒヨの舟を解放すると転職が出来るようになる。レベルを20(序盤)~65(一部を除く職業ごとの魔装陣コンプ)程度のラインまで上げて様々な職業で転職を数回繰り返し、頃合いを見て転職ラインを99(上限)に上げ更に転職を繰り返す。[/b] 取っ掛かりは大人数を一度に育てられる魔装陣が多いガーディアンが無難。重要な部分は[b]同じ職業を繰り返し育てても、数値は加算される事。[/b] 魔装陣を組み立てていると、自然と一番必要な数値が何かを理解するだろう。そこが育成のスタートライン。そこまではただの下準備。 私は今日も罠に怯えながらチズジョンを周回しています。 それではもう一度。[b]今日も一日ご安全に！[/b]

面白いです。自分はPSPでX2にハマった手合いなので、続編がPCでも遊べて嬉しいです。 自分で描いたキャラクターを動かせるというのもポイントですが、それ以上にダンジョン・ランジョンの戦闘・レベル上げ・装備稼ぎの楽しさが高いです。 ひたすら戦闘を繰り返すタイプのゲームですが、攻略中にいかに魔装陣を組んで戦闘力を最大化するかというところに常にスポットが当たっており、色々試せるのが楽しいです。 反面物語は取ってつけたようなもので、(嫌いではないですが)ちょっと子供向けすぎるように感じました。 それと、ストーリーダンジョン終盤から、初めて転職させるまでがちょっと辛かったです。転職を使い始めると一気にインフレしていく形になりましたが。 遊んだ時間や充実度を考えると定価で買ったことは後悔してないですが、やはりフルプライスに近い価格設定なので人には勧めづらいところはありますね。 セールで安くなったところを勧めたいところです。

Cladun X2 but with 120 fps, functional controller support and a better options menu. Just seems like a better game and 500x better PC port.

Dear developers, this game is a gem. I can't stop playing it. [b]I have a huge request: please make it possible to localize the game into other languages. For example, make the localization files accessible or provide localization of the game into Russian, please. [/b] [u] Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful game.[/u]

過去作もやったことはあり新作でないかなぁ～とは思ってたので期待してたが できることが同じすぎてすぐ飽きる、この単調さでこの値段で出すのはちょっと無いわ 何作も出してんだからちょっとはやれること増やせ、ひいき目に見て3980円がいいとこだわ 魔装陣は何十種もあるがエンドコンテンツとかやろうとするとまともに使えるのがほとんどないバランスになってるのがクソ、全体的にHPマイナスなどのデメリットマスがむやみやたらと多いのもムカつく アイテム掘りに行くのも一周が1時間は必要なうえ中断もできないクソ仕様なのもマイナス要素 エンドコンテンツはさらに一周の時間は増えるからPCだと無理がある、ニートならできるんじゃない？ そしてなにより、コラボキャラ目当てで11/1に買ったのに 当日に公式サーバーのメンテが入ってて目当てのキャラ使えるまで一週間近く待たされたのが絶対許せない その一つだけでも十分低評価対象になる　マジで一生許さんからなNIS

Simple but Addictive. Simply Addictive. A dungeon crawler where every aspect of the experience can be customized. From your skills, to characters, to even who surprise attacks you in your own dungeon crawl. This is an impressively chaotic game that's made for people who love a power fantasy action RPG. My review focuses on the cores of the game, customization, random dungeon crawling and character progression. CUSTOMIZATION: has a LOT of options! Make your own Character. Give them bouncy pixel physics such as hair and other accessories. You can individually make your own weapon, armor, or wings when you use certain abilities, Some magic circles let you transform your character INTO another character! Imagine making Goku and have him go SSJ or even a Sentai hero transformation. Its a flexible system, you can make it as simple or as complex as you want. Want to ONLY make a head/face and wear the ingame armor and weapons? You can. Want to make a full body appearance, custom wings, arms, legs and floaty parts with a signature weapon? You can. You just need to know how to pixel art. Make multiple characters, you can even place them in town , give them backstories and dialogs. You can use MML to make your own dungeon crawling music. You are given 256 edit data slots to add music to the game. If you're familiar with MML in games like Mabinogi, you can enjoy tons of music from MML Composers and add them to the game. There are accommodations and adjustments needed to any MML you find on other sites, but if you take the time to set it up, it will ensure you don't burn out listening to the same ost forever. NISA is also supporting the game with collaborations that allow you to download characters and music. Such as the Touhou series and Disgaea. The network feature also lets you travel to maps players have made and grab their creations too. You will have plenty of creative content to pick up if you're not into making pixel art and music yourself! CHARACTER PROGRESSION: Cladun uses the Magic Circle System: Though you control only one character per run, you use fdifferent Magic Circles that you place your other created characters onto. Main characters rely on their ATK, DEF, SP. Sub Characters protect the Main Character by using their HP stat to take damage for them , and spend Mana to activate "Artifacts", stat boosting relics that further strengthen the Main Character. The Sub Characters defend the Main from all 4 directions based on placement. When a Sub character runs out of HP, they fall and any stat buffs their mana activated is lost until you can revive them. This system is deep. as you assign Sub characters and use their mana to boost the Main Character you find doing so efficiently becomes a puzzle in itself. Once you acquire rarer, titled versions of artifacts which different buffs, and aim stack effects with adjacent artifacts while managing mana constraints. Consistent fine tuning or completely new build ideas will help you progress further into deeper dungeons. Equipment Has Ranks from 1 to 23. They also have Effectiveness Multipliers and Titles that you can assign to push your stats further. A singular weapon type can vary from elemental affiliation, to damage range multipliers and base stat increases too. Each weapon type has a noticably different playstyle. From Dagger's attack speed and stealth, to hammer's efficient mob clearing and sword's versatility. The title system lets you push this variety further. Assign Titles to weapons and armor to increase base damage, drop rate, movement speed or add multipliers and modifiers. By selling unneeded equipment the titles they hold can be assigned to new gear. Eventually unlocking titles that let you break the damage cap itself. Each class learns skills that can be freely assigned to 6 slots. Artifacts let you further be modify them. SP costs can be lowered to suit a casting barrage, or increase their skill level massively to make nukes. Once you level cap, you can rebirth into a different job to learn more skills while retaining what you've gained. Every class offers a variety of playstyle altering magic circles: Saint class has access to Circles that are made for Sustain with gate revives, yet also has powerful, high risk circles where if one sub character dies, ALL of them do Some Circles Or even bestow flight and wings to fly over traps. All of these options are just for ONE class alone. Combine all of this and you have an AMAZING upgrade system that can keep you busy for a LONG time. All of this leads into what you'll spend most of your time doing and that's - COMBAT AND DUNGEONS: Your builds will be tested in rangeons and the main story's hand crafted stages. Rangeons put you through a series of themed biomes which have randomized layouts of crafted rooms with a specific setup and challenge in each one. So you'll get weird layout combinations of these rooms; but nothing gamebreaking, What brings it life is the variety of monsters. Almost all of them follow a simple pattern: Aquans will chase you down and shoot icicles from the ground once near, Turtle Faces will fire missles in the air that will land on you from a distance. Alone they're no problem since they're so predictable, but combine them all and you'll often need to assess the most efficient order to take out mobs. In all of this chaos, traps both positive and negative litter the maps and can both work for and against you. Enemies can be healed by heal traps just as much as they can be hurt by traps you trigger. As you gain experience you'll learn to think fast and use these traps to your advantage. Each floor has random gates that can appear, from positive ones that give full heals, to cursed gates that have a chance to give level spikes so massive they almost guarantee you'll wipe on the next floor. We also have odd ones out like Gambling gates that could give you amazing drop rate buffs or deal dealing massive damage the next. The random dungeons also have a wider than expected variety of events too. Such as being attacked by random edited characters in your data as minibosses, to floors full of Phantom Cat Thieves that's totally not a Persona 5 Reference with rare loot aplenty. The random event variety is pretty good and is much more than just "rare number go up". It can get very chaotic in a way that keeps every run exciting beyond the loot you can get. It stands out in the current roguelite trends that tend to focus on only GOOD events and not bad ones to balance it out! IN SUMMARY: I've been a huge fan of Cladun 1 and X2 and they were my favorite dungeon crawlers. The endless list of challenges as your stats climb ever higher kept me coming back for more. It's a pure power fantasy to see your damage go so high with each run and narrowly surving a random level spike. Cladun X3 exceeded all of my expectations, from the new abilities, the new monsters and surprising amount of new dungeon events . NIS truly expanded on Cladun X2 in every way and is a MUCH MUCH BETTER PC RELEASE THAN X2. I originally Played Cladun X2 on PSP. The port for PC does well it when it works but is technically underwhelming. This game however, works smoothly. It's clear in the decade plus NIS finally takes the PC platform seriously. If you like collecting endless loot and the feeling of growing stronger while embracing a deep upgrade system that inspires creativity as you imagine your created OCs in the game. I highly recommend this game as being worth the price tag. Thank you for reading!

Hidden gem of a game. It's a classic dungeon crawler that's a mix of roguelike strategy & mystery dungeon with a lot of interesting depth added with the fact that it is a realtime fusion of the two game genres. There's a lot of fast action like sliding under tripwires, jumping over traps/fire/hazards and mixing in all the different things that monsters in the game can do make for an interesting learning experience with each run. The difficulty scaling is pretty good, it starts off with tutorial level easy then ramps up explaining mechanics over time before throwing you in, by the time you get to the third set of dungeons it's already pretty difficult and the puzzles/fights that come later are no slouch either. It doesn't just drop off in difficulty, but instead gives you even more variety in how to build out your characters, tackle encounters and so on, none of which feels wasted or meaningless even later into the game's main story dungeon paths or even the randomized mapgeons. Gave it a shot because NIS + trailer showed making Etna and I was going to copy that but... holy hell the customization you can do on characters & music is far beyond what I expected. It's almost like the old BYOND sprite sharing maps, you can explore other people's worlds and download characters from any anime/popular JP franchise you can think of practically. So not only is the game good with huge layers of depth but you can play as any character you want with any song you want all built with the in-game systems, no modding required. I used to think Steam had a lack of mystery dungeon style games, clearly I wasn't looking hard enough, especially considering this is the fourth entry to this franchise apparently. Do not skip if you are a fan of mystery dungeon/roguelikes or even just NIS style menu management where you spend a bunch of time after grinding reworking your entire inventory and bonus effects for your characters.

This is a $3 game, not a $30 game. I refunded it.

エンドコンテンツの準備中くらいまでプレイ。私はシリーズ初プレイ。未プレイ向けに私が感じた雑感を書きます。購入の参考になれば。 まず、作業ゲーが嫌いな方は向いてないのでやめたほうがいい。ストーリークリア後のエンドコンテンツに向けては、ジャンルは違うが同社の「ディスガイアシリーズ」の様にひたすら効率がいいマップを周回しまくる事になるので、注意が必要。 ハクスラ＋アクションRPG＋ローグライクというジャンルで、ターン性ではないのでジャンルが違うがゲーム体験としては似ている「不思議のダンジョンシリーズ」の様に、初見殺しのギミックや状況があり、何もわからないままどうすれば良いかわからずに死亡することも良くある。逆にターン性では無いおかげで、絶対に勝てない敵や状況からプレイスキルで逃げるということが可能になる。アクションが上手いのが前提だが、序盤に敵レベルが高い場所で強引にアイテムを回収して逃げるという戦法がある。効率を考えると一長一短だが、死ぬとアイテムは全ロストなのでひり付くし、上手く回収できると一時的に効率が爆上がりする。そんなことせずとも、ストーリークリアまでは適当にプレイしていても問題ないくらいの難易度で、あまり困ることもなくスムーズにゲームが進む。 また、不思議のダンジョンシリーズとは違って、レベルを引き継ぐRPG要素があるため、縛りプレーをしなければ詰むことはそうそう無く、あちらと違って敷居は低いと思う。 このゲームの問題は、クリア後のエンドコンテンツへの導線が弱いことだと思う。シリーズ未経験者はどうすれば強くなれるのか？どの要素が強いのか？何をすれば強くなれるのか？強化の優先順位は？などが分からず、めんどくさくなってやめる気がする。 まず装備集め？レベル上げて転職？AF集め？名声集め？あまりにも導線が親切すぎるとやらされている感に繋がるが、ストーリーがあっさり終わった事も相まって、クリア後に何をして、何を目指すべきか？が圧倒的に分かり辛い。また、分かりやすい稼ぎ場所があまり無いのは気になる。通常プレイの場合クリア後は転職を目指してレベリングすると思うが、ある程度要素解除の敷居があっても良いから、ディスガイアでいう練武みたいにゴリゴリ経験値が稼げる方法があると良いと思う。全職カンストはエンドコンテンツを目指す上で必要だが、稼ぎ場があまりないので、この部分は中だるみを感じた。例えば〇職カンストで練武1解放とかみたいな。 また、私は「ワイド」というアイテムが、ただ範囲魔法が使える効果だと思ったまま未使用でずっと進んで、相当後半で「ワイド」の効果に気づいた。すべてチュートリアルにする必要はないが、本作独自の効果で、火力で重要な役割を担う「ワイド」「ツイン」「ゼロ」の実用的で効率的な配置の一例と効果のチュートリアルが作中にあると良いなと思った。 本作独自の要素として、魔装陣という要素がある。攻撃や防御を強化する要素があるのだが、かなり膨大な量がある各魔装陣の特徴や効果が一目で分かり辛い。その魔装陣はどういうコンセプトで存在しているのか？の説明が全く足りず分かりにくい。中身をしっかり見てから自分で考える必要がある。時間が無い現代社会において、ゲームプレイ以外の部分の親切さが足りないなと感じた。例えば攻、防、特殊、育成、総合力みたいな項目があって、それを数値やランク（ＳＡＢＣＤＥＦみたいな）で表現されていると初見でも一見して分かりやすいと思う。魔装陣の構成をコピーし、張り付ける機能は直感的で使いやすくてとても良いと思う。 総じて、エンドコンテンツを目指しがっつりプレイできる方には、定価の価値があると思う。上述の導線がしっかりしていない、魔装陣が分かり辛いのも、ハクスラの醍醐味である試行錯誤しながら、「これはどうかな？こうすればどれ位強くなる？」みたいに考えながらプレイできるとも言える。私は続編が出たら購入しようと思うくらいには楽しめた。 逆に作業ゲーが嫌いな方や、他のゲームでストーリーをクリアするだけで満足する方には、セールでもおすすめしない。
