Labyrinth Legends

Date played: June 12th
Platform: PS3
Session fun rating: 2/10

This game sucks
I got Labyrinth Legends for free as part of the PS Plus program. Long story short, this game's local multiplayer mode sucks donkey balls. I didn't try the single player but my roommate and I tried the three modes included. This game is played from a top-down perspective in single screen arenas. Survival mode pit us against increasingly difficult enemies until we died. The combat all melee and only features two attacks, at least as far as I could make out. This mode was the most boring as the game doesn't "feel" good when fighting. Domination mode was even stupider, though definitely more fun, as it was basically a 1 vs 1 button mashing battle. The best mode was Treasure Hunt which had us navigate a maze to gather a gold pile. Since gold respawns after every pickup, the mode feels a bit like Pac-Man in a lot of ways. Also, the art style is shitty and the graphics are not interesting.
