Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy

This is a 1st person, party-based, dungeon crawler RPG with an anime flair. It plays similarly to the Wizardry series, Shining in the Darkness, and Stranger of Sword City. This is quite a bit easier on the eyes than Wizardry, but lacks its difficulty. It makes up for this with a gestalt class system like Grim Dawn (without the skill trees) or Pillars of Eternity II but without the skill trees. The magic system is very much like Wizardry, though. It features an in-depth, but not too hard to learn, crafting system (that I wrote a guide for) and practically showers you with loot, which is fun. It's also rather inexpensive on the store, which encouraged my initial purchase. Downsides are: - Some really funky/inconsistent translations. - Early game story is very cringe and full of lame anime tropes, yet the story does pick up about a quarter of the way through it. - Default controls suck (also made a quick/easy guide for that). - If you don't like grinding, puzzle solving, navigating mazes, or constantly tweaking your characters... well, not only is this game not for you, but anything resembling Wizardry won't be either. I know modern gamers tend to be allergic to the concept of "grind," but it's half the charm of these style games. It's kind of refreshing for a dungeon-crawler RPG to be set in a sci-fi setting too. Everyone does the high fantasy thing, which is okay, but I like how different this feels by comparison. As of writing this review, I'm about 40% through the game, 30 hours played, and if I had a better grasp on what I was doing before I started, I probably could have shaved off 10 of those to be in the same place. That too is one of the charms of these kinds of games. (Game) Knowledge truly is power.

It´s one of the best or if not the very best game of this kind i have played.

OK so I was in the mood to play a dungeon crawler and I saw this sitting in my library. I have played lots of games from this genre and several as close as you're going to get to this one - Mary Skelter being my favourite I think. I can normally navigate my way around the usually pretty inscruitable systems of these games fine but this time - i just don't want to. If there was a mod that just changed all the menus so the what they did was a bit easier to parse, i'd probably recommend it but I am tired, my brain is tired and i cba to consult a guide on how to craft a basic sword.

オペレーションアビスから通してプレイ。アビスとの比較が多くなりますがご了承を。 おすすめにするかしないか迷ったアビスとは違い、こちらは自信をもっておすすめできる。 GOODポイント ・戦闘が超高速。レベル上げ、アイテム稼ぎのストレスはほぼないと言える。 ・ダンジョン攻略の難解さ。今回は考えることが多く、ミニゲーム的な感覚がある ・コード（アイテム）がざっくざく落ちる上に戦闘もものすごく速いのでトレハン大好きなお友達にも超超超安心。 ・前作と同じくキャラメイクが細かく作れる。フレーバーとはいえ、こういうのは必要だし好き ・ムラマサがある。 ・サブブラッドの組み合わせで、戦闘自体がかなり快適に。この為、前作より戦闘の難易度自体は下がっている。 BADポイント ・前作と同じで、状態異常や強化システムについての説明がものすごく不足している。ゲーム内ヘルプを見てもさっぱりわからない事が多い。攻略サイトを読み込んで自分で理解する姿勢が必要。 ・学術士必須のゲーム構成…サブブラッドがある分前作よりはマシか ・敵キャラ割とグロい。ホラー寄り。 ・スペルコード禁止フロアの面倒くささ。クリア後くらい解除して良かったんちゃいますかね 総評 アビスと同じく、ウィザードリィ好きにはお勧めするけど、世界樹とかのライトな3Dダンジョンを想像してる人にはお勧めしない。 ちゃんとヒロインがヒロインしてるのは好感持てる。

I tried playing this on my steam deck and the game kept crashing right after the tutorial boss at the very start. I even un-installed and reinstalled the game twice.

剧情:世界观还行,但是剧情不完整,需要加上前作(深渊作战)才完整,几个boss的塑造感觉都很一般. 系统方面满意,有高速战斗,有自动寻路. 职业平衡方面感觉一般,学者的价值大大提升,魔法师除了加攻和浮游两个魔法以外基本无用. 装备平衡方面,设计得很一般,也许是开放了附魔所以没有特色装备. 总结的话,有时间玩这个不如去再玩一遍圆桌学生会或者剑之街的异邦人.

game is good! wonderful dungeon crawl
