3.0 out of 5 stars Rengoku is an awsome game depending on who you are, July 6, 2005

This review is from: Rengoku (Video Game)

Rengoku is about a robot trying to get to the top of a tower. On each level of the tower you enter a map wit rooms containing enemies. after you reach the rooms (there are very few in each level) a warp is opened to the next level containing a boss. The game repeats with a new level them boss and so on. The maps aren't repetitive and in the begining the game is a little hard. But as you progress through the levels you aquire more weapons which make the game easier.
Rengoku is a great game about strategy and weapons with great controls. the controls are the controls that you would figure you might use, nothing more nothing less.
Personally i think it was a great game but kids under the age of 12 might find it difficult and abandom the game. So don't get if for kids under that age. I hope I helped you.

This review is from: Rengoku (Video Game)

I see a few reasons people might have problems with this game.

1. The controls. Yes, it doesn't use the analog nub, BUT the D-pad controls work just fine. People have managed to use the D-pad for movement for over a decade; all of a sudden it makes a game unplayable? Yeah right. Trust me, you'll get used to the controls after 15 minutes.

2. Too many things to keep track of. Yes, this game doesn't have a learning curve, it just starts you off in the thick of things right away. Guess what? There is an instruction manual that comes with it. Read it first, it will greatly help you understand what's going on. The game's amount of customization is amazing. If you spend 10 minutes to figure out what everything is (or just read the manual), then you'll be set.


Rengoku has tight and fast paced action, the fighting is furious and you can't let your guard down. The AI in this game is not stupid, it won't just stand there while you kill it. You have to use all your abilities to win.

This game might be too complicated for younger gamers, but for those who like to customize their charater and intense action, this game is for you.

It is a interesting little game, made as a simple little adverture game. Though it got three stars because after a while the game play gets stale
