The game's great, in my opinion, except that I can't read all of it and I keep blowing myself up with stupid things like exploding bones. Well, hello.

So I think maybe the mechanics could be tweaked a teeny tiny bit, like with camera control (maybe it's just me, but it feels a little awkward), and other than that it would be perfect if only the protagonist could stop blowing himself up. ._.;; I've already died eight times.

All because I decided I'd rather not wait for the American release and went and got a Japanese copy. >> Thus my current predicament. Maybe I won't die seven times before I actually get to the bottom of the tower in the American version, since I'll have already done that in the Japanese version. XD

Oh, THAT'S what you were saying. I thought you were saying he kept throwing up. So I just figured he ate too many rotten hearts. XDD

Well, great job, Ein --er, Protagonist.

I think the rotten hearts just give him a stomach ache. I've never eaten one, I just saved them for the Cursebringer Angel and tossed them in. Oh look, they're not rotten anymore! *chomp* *VT recovery!*

There's this weird kind of bone that if you eat it it'll make you bleed. Doesn't make you do anything else other than leave a splotch of purple blood on the floor--I can't remember if it even heals you. Weird stuff. If you toss a couple of those to the Cursebringer Angel, though, sometimes you get good stuff. Like nice equipment, because +5 attack is always an improvement over +2 or +3.

Um, wow. Bleeding bones. I'll have to remember that one. Just so I can eat one and run around going "Look, I'm bleeding and I'm perfectly fine!" XP

That said, maybe the Meta-beings are like sharks. Can they smell the blood and come rushing to you? >> Like the Pied Piper, except... not.

Baroque is a great twist on the Roguelike genre, and so far, I've been enjoying it a lot. Though I'm expecting a lot of negative criticism to stem about it unless you actually LIKE Roguelikes, since they are rather niche.

Regardless, there is a lot of variety, the real time system makes it a bit more dynamic, the music's good, and it knows how to be creepy here and there. It's not really as Suvival Horror esque as the original, but it's a great game if you want something new out of a Roguelike.

It's sweat, isn't it? If we're thinking of the same bone, it does heal you.

Maybe it is. ._.;; Hm.

Purple sweat? That's so... I don't know. weird. But that's probably it. I couldn't read the names since I was playing a Japanese version. >>

Anyone thinking about getting this?

It might have art after all.

http://www.sting.co.jp/baroque/wii/sp/index.htm

And this...definetly does.

Honestly, I might end up buying these. I like the game that much, I'd buy it if it came out over here dammit. :\

O.k yeah, I am buying them.

I'm ordering the Complete Guide today. Artbook when it comes out.

I'll scan them in and upload when they come in.

I won't get to play Ninja Gaiden 2 now, but eh.

Baroque's on two different consoles. You don't have a PS2 or a Wii? (I mean, the Wii I sort of get, but the PS2 is old enough that the price ought to have dropped somewhat...)

Great game is great. Finished my first journey through the tower last night, and I was really enjoying it.

Also, the music is awesome.
