I recently purchased Dungeon Siege Throne of Agony because I've been looking for a western hack and slash RPG games for the PSP. There are many Japanese RPGs but I don't have the patience with turn based anime games. Dungeon Siege did not disappoint. The graphics are admittedly average in my opinion. You can see copied tiles of grass over and over as well as plenty of jagged edges. The previously mentioned issue is more than compensated by the excellent gameplay and character skill development.
You get to choose from three standard classes, archer, warrior, wizard. Having chosen archeress I really enjoyed the options given o me each time I leveled up. The skills range from passive defensive skills to offensive skills that use mana. On the screen they look like very detailed attack moves that co e with nice lights and fire effects. You also can have a companion congrolled by the AI , as you find more followers they become usable as companions. There is strategy here as well since to level up the characters and give them new and advanced skills you have to spend gold, so don't try to level everyone at once.
The menus and item management is made possible really well. There are tons of standard clothes, weapos, artifacts, and other items. Before picking you can press a button to compare with your current used item. Inside the inventory it's easy to manage the items and get optimal profit when you sell what you don't need.
Audio and music in the game in the game are excellent. I believe it's made by the same composer involved in Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind, who is either Jeremy Soule or Anon Zur.
The few issues that I did see are holes in the landscape where you can see out of the world into the emptiness. Some collisio issues with environment such as various things on the ground. Also when you access certain menu options you may have to wait a second or two for UMD disk to spin to load the data.
Overall I'd highly recommend this game if you want something of diablo western style for PSP. Graphics are not polished but everything else is good.
5/5
