Initial Impressions: 3d Dot Game Heroes

I originally wrote this for a friend’s blog that I occasionally contribute to. Visit TechDeez for the original(with different screenshots).

When the first screens of 3d Dot Game Heroes began to surface nearly a year ago, I didn’t know what to think. Part of me was offended. After all, who was this From Software, and what business did they have blatantly ripping off the best game series of all time? Another part of me just got excited that sometime in the future I’d have access to a new Zelda game. And yet another part of me figured that for how closely it resembled the original Legend of Zelda, it couldn’t possibly be worth the $60 that current generation games fetch. For whatever reason, the negative emotions that the game stirred up won out, and I largely stopped paying attention to any and all news about it.
