The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll

SCORE: 78

There are two wonderful things to see from smaller video game developers. The first is improvement. It is fantastic to see a smaller and/or indie developer improving with each release. The second thing is to see a developer stick with a certain franchise. Genius Sonority has stuck it out with The Denpa Men. It is paying dividends in The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll.

The art work is improved. The storyline is improved. The world is improved. The interactive and connection to the Denpa Men is improved. Maybe this franchise started out as a joke. Maybe it started out making fun of retro RPG's. But in The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll it is a solid hand held role playing title.

Families will get a long quest with plenty of grinding with the $9.99 they spend on The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll. This 3DS video game is a downloadable only title. That means no finding The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll in your local retailer. It would be awesome if they would put the three games together on one cartridge and sell it at stores. Maybe in the future.

There are two main phases in The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll. The first phase is capturing the Denpa Men. Which has been upgraded. They can now throw things back at you to mess up your view. The second phase is using the Denpa Men to progress through the story. Don't worry if you get too many Denpa Men, they will level up while waiting for their turn to be a part of your team.

We can still plant, water, and harvest in The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll. We can also still go fishing at a variety of different spots. We can now also put furniture in the houses of various Denpa Men. Felt a bit like Animal Crossing. The voice of the main character reinforced that connection.

Jumping from location to location is also in The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll. You have to reach a place first, but that should not be too difficult. Especially if you take my advice on grinding. You instantly heal once you enter any town like area. There are blue circles in dungeons that will heal you. You can also save there as well.

The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll points you where to go next. You will never get lost. Some areas (like that volcano) are hard to reach. So you have to find the right cannon to use to get to that exact spot. As long as you read the text from various characters you should be able to figure out most of the puzzles.

Issues families may have with The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll are the characters attack the monsters with headbutts, magic is also used, fairies are a part of the story, and there is some humor that could be defined as crude. All in all The Denpa Men 3 The Rise of Digitoll is generally safer and cleaner than most RPGs released in this day and age.
