3D Dot Game Heroes

Description

The gameplay resembles that of action role-playing games on third generation video game consoles from the 1980s, particularly that of The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy Adventure, and also aesthetically similar to Dragon Warrior. Players move characters from screen to screen exploring dungeons, battling enemies, collecting items and solving puzzles. When the player’s health bar is full, the player’s sword will grow to tremendous sizes whenever swung. Swords in-game can be customized and leveled up to increase its length, width, as well as magical power, other special items that can also be used include boomerangs, lanterns, candles, and bows.[5]

Players can create their own character model using the game’s 3D sprite editor. Players are able to collect monsters to be featured in an encyclopedia which is done through beating the monster on its head with a book until its profile shows up in the encyclopedia’s pages. Loading screens in-game feature recreated box arts of classic video games using the game’s 3D sprites.[5]
