Verdict
Fans of the Castlevania : Symphony of the Night and other Metroidvania - style game will certainly find themselves fall in dear with Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth . It provides many intimate element from SotN while adding in its own mechanics to keep the game feeling fresh and new . The story is piquant , but certainly not the focal point of the plot . What Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth provides is a nostalgic platformer experience to keep fan interest for more than just the metre it withdraw to ab initio beat the game .
The biz is not very prospicient , dwell of several " Chapters " unfold up the map more and more as the game advance . With enough gameplay to be deserving the game ’s price , it still feel a bit like there could have been more , as many musician of the Metroidvania musical style tend to expect .
Currentlyavailable in the Nintendo eShop for $ 24.99 , it is a game any lover of Record of Lodoss War should jump all over . alas , the Switch port is a bit absent , so those capable to get the biz on Switch should sure pick that version over this one .
Score: 7/10
