part builder, part crawler, with real time battles and nice upgrades.

User Rating: 7 | Chronicle of Dungeon Maker PSP
Picked up this game without expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised. Players start out in an easy to navigate town, then move pretty quickly to building a dungeon. Good selection of parts keep the building portion interesting and real time battles with the monsters drawn to your creation make for interesting encounters. Nice drops, the ability to use warp points and easy saves also add to gameplay. No real story so technically it can't be called an rpg but plenty of easy quests. Monsters encountered range from easy to challenging. Sound track can be kinda irritating at times. Graphics are good, nothing to write home about but the dungeons look sharp. A nice diversion until MHF2 is released later this year.
