Summary
The Diorama Dungeoncrawl Master of the Living Castle features a low poly graphics style and 3D action gameplay. It has a manageable download size of 170.8MB and offers both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. The game provides three save slots and includes features like breakable objects for power-ups, a health bar system, and simple controls including jump, attack, and charged attack.
The game also includes boss encounters with visible health bars, puzzle platforming sections, checkpoints, infinite lives, a level select menu, and instant loading. The locations in the game are visually appealing.
However, there are some drawbacks. The game does not allow for control rebinding or camera control. There are no game settings available. The hit detection is reported to be poor and the boss encounters can be frustrating due to damage sponges and cheap shots.
Visibility issues make it hard to see cliff drops which can lead to instant death when falling off the screen. Health power-ups are not readily available which can make gameplay challenging. Lastly, the game lacks replay value.
Overall, it seems like the game has some strong points in its graphics and gameplay mechanics but falls short in terms of controls and user settings. It’s just frustrating to play and considering the previous games this is a step back.
