It’s drab, depressing early dungeons made way to more interesting locales as I ascended into the castle on my quest to destroy the evil minions of an exiled sorcerer (honestly, don’t expect really any crucially interesting story here, this game is about killing things) and the presence of the odd boss monster was a nice way to add some incentive to keep moving forward, with a fast paced leveling system and hunger gauge aiding a feeling of constant forward progression. Haunted Dungeons: Hyakki Castle grew on me. For what looks like a PlayStation 2 game, I was hoping it might run a bit smoother, but for the type of game it is, that shortcoming doesn’t detract at all from the overall experience. Performance is hit or miss, with little framerate drops occasionally, and the UI doesn’t scale super-well. That seems so blatantly obvious a thing to fix, but was certainly no deal breaker. I did notice one jarring bug, which is that the “passive skills” information tab just says “no info available”. Fortunately, because the actual base game is entertaining in its own right, I’m okay to forgive what is more often than not wasted code and praise what is there. Initially it seemed exciting to be able to split a party into halves and then swap between them parties with the touch of a button in split-screen mode, but eventually I found myself rolling my eyes every time I was forced to do this. Follow the story of Ellie Teller, a scientist struggling to survive disastrous events that happened in the tower of Arx Vaporum. The result is an enjoyable game that has a charm of its own with its steampunk-inspired environments and overall eerie tone. It’s a weird game to review because I like the parts that took a back seat, and didn’t give a toss about the stuff the designers were clearly proud of.

Vaporum: Lockdown is a 3D first-person dungeon-crawler where the player controls only one character in real time, rather than a full party, and movement is crucial to surviving the harrowing experience. ![]() ![]() Ascend through the castle, kill the demons, solve the occasional puzzle.Īnd this part is fun enough for me. (I have it on the authority of a friend that three samurai and a healer works out pretty nicely.) There are several skill trees to progress through for each class using skill points doled out while leveling, you have a few slots for new equipment on each character and a skill bar correlating to the four face buttons that you can customize – and that’s basically it. Vaporum is a 3D grid-based, real-time dungeon crawler set in an Steampunk world. ![]() I chose the default party just to get a sense of the balance, and it worked pretty well, but you could mix and match your party however you like.
