The game begins as you wake up in your cozy cabin home and soldiers barge in to let you know that you have been summoned by the king. Instead of beating around the bush, let's just say 3D Dot Game Heroes is going to feel a lot like the original Legend of Zelda. Regardless of whom you choose, you do get to wield a ridiculously large sword that can extend almost all the way across the screen and go through trees. The differences among the classes seem to be primarily focused on how much you want to use magic. There are three classes to choose from with male and female versions of those character models, but if you want to play through the game as a sword-wielding soccer ball or koala bear, you can as long as you can create it.

We didn't get to check out the character creator until after the demo, but you have the freedom to create your own 3D pixilated hero and build him or her out of tiny square blocks-like Legos. The sacred sword was put back into place in the woods, but somehow, demons managed to get a hold of the orbs again, which meant it was time for a new hero to save the kingdom. We watched as houses, trees, and the people began to rise from the ground into 3D, like blossoming flowers trying to escape a life of flatness. By formal decree, the leader gathered his citizens and armies to tell them that they should take the next step by going into 3D. Peace was dull and 2D life just wasn't very exciting anymore. After the hero had restored order to the land and many years passed, the king felt it was time for a change. Of course, sometimes the bad guys get through, and in order to bring peace to the land once again, a hero must rise with the power of a sacred sword to banish the demons, as well as restore peace by collecting all the orbs.

The story takes place in the kingdom of Dotnia where peace reigns only when the orbs of power are safe from the clutches of evil demons. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot'sĪs always, games like these are parodies of the stuff we played many game consoles ago.
