Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory

"Rengoku leaves us with solid art direction (which is exponentially better from the gallery mode that unlocks as you defeat bosses) and tried and true gameplay elements."

"...it's a game with no great purpose. It asks philosophical questions, but it should have put that heavy thinking into the gameplay."

"Here’s how Rengoku works: take something cool and mess it up. It’s that simple. They took robots and they made them boring and stupid. They took the incredible promise of randomized levels and forgot to make them look any different from one another. They created great opening cinematics and included a bland graphics engine."
