Video Game Reviews of Baroque
Customer Review: Wii needs more titles like this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely adored this game, but people with little patience might get frustrated. This game doesn't hold your hand at all, it tosses you into a crazy world and tells you 'okay figure it out!' I however enjoy the 'uncover the bizarre storyline' type of gameplay thats in Baroque, trying to figure out just what the heck is going on, its like you're in an insane asylum. Admittedly losing all your gear whenever you die or complete the tower can get tedious, but I even came to enjoy that after awhile, it takes planning and strategy to get your favorite items back into town to be ready for next time.
Its definitely a 'hardcore dungeon-crawler' like it advertises itself to be...I wish the Wii had more games with complex psychological storylines like this. If you like anime, thought-provoking rpgs, or just hacking and slashing, I'd definitely recommend Baroque.
Description of Baroque
You have just awakened in a world of ruin, having lost your memory. The world has been devastated by the "Blaze", which twisted the laws of nature. Meta-Beings now wander the barren land. In order to survive the world, people cling to their delusions, called "Baroques" and become warped by their own ideas. You must descend upon a mysterious tower, fighting through the foul denizens. The tower is constantly distorting, so you'll be in a new labyrinth every time you enter a room.Acquire powerful stat-boosting parasites and combine them to multiply their potency
You awaken to find the world in ruin, your heart beset with unexplained guilt. A cataclysm has destroyed the cities and empires of men and disfigured the spirit of humanity. In this nightmare, it falls to you to descend a mysterious tower in search of absolution. Battle merciless foes in treacherous dungeons, scour for new items to aid you in your travels, and unlock the secrets of a devastated land. You will find death in the depths, yet learn that death is not the end of the story; in the twisted world of Baroque, it is only the beginning.Wii Extras:
