Just another Diablo clone with a twist, you get a whole bunch of characters. You can teleport them in and out of your dojo to the battlefield so they can heal or fight. I just couldn't get into it. Played it a few times, then put it away.

ToD works with Cedega

Not being a Windows user, I'm particularly interested in games that work with Cedega, a Linux program that runs Windows games. Not all games work, but this one works great!

Graphics are good and the story line is rather educational, regarding ancient Japanese mythologies.

Fun, but very little replayability.

I highly enjoyed this game, but found that little changed if you choose a different Dimayo to play after finishing the first game. Still, I had fun and for the price I paid for the game, you can't beat it.

Complicated and somewhat slow, but rich in detail.

Overall, I like this game. The negatives are:

-The game is very slow to develop.

-The sheer number of characters, spells, special items and quests make for a somewhat mish-mashed sense of gameplay.

-The combat is more muddled than other third-person fighting games (Diablo II, for instance).

-The levels, though more expansive than some other games, lack excitement. You're either searching [seemingly] forever or you're getting tooled by unseen (off-screen) baddies who one of your rogue AI players has engaged.

-You have to be near-genius to fully utilize the blacksmith and priest options (for making/repairing weapons and learning spells).

-The graphics aren't quite as good as Diablo II.

The positives are:

+The player-character AI is much more advanced than Diablo.

+The multi-player capability is refreshing and fairly well-done.

+The complexity of the blacksmith and priest gives the advanced user a chance to custom-outfit his/her characters.

+It's easy to resurrect players...which is necessary because they tend to die very often early in the game.

+There are lots of unique items and *if* you have the stats to use/wear them, they're very cool.

+The Japanese flair gives the game a dimension that Diablo II lacks.

+I bought this game at *sigh* WallyWorld for $4.77! What a deal!

+The manual is well-written and relatively comprehensive.

I don't think I'd shell out $19.99 for this game, but at $4.77, definitely check it out!

It's hard, but really fun!

This game has an even better and cooler story than all the final fantasys put together. But not as good as the Diablo games. Just missing by a decimal in a percentage rating. This game is sweet otherwise getting to choose from 7 characters from three calans n' all. You get to use four characters at a time. Three are being controlled by the computer, where you are controlling one that you rotate using the space bar. The game is awsom if you like Revenant (another reccomended game) or Diablo.

great but flawed

This game is awesome, but it runs out of bad guys, weapons, armor, items, and spells long before the game is over. Because of this, you feel like you are just going through the motions for the last part of the game and it becomes really boring. If it had enough "new stuff" to keep you entertained then this could have been one of the best games ever made. I would still recommend it to those who appreciate Japanese Feudal culture though.

Just like too many role playing games

This was one of the best games I have played. However, when I got into the higher levels (above 20) the whole game froze and I lost my saved information. Now, 2 weeks of play are down the drains. I will not start over, so the game is over for me and I didn't get to complete the game. This tends, in my experience, to happen with a lot of games made by Sierra. Very dissapointing. No wonder it went down in cost so fast.

So so.....

You move from one place to another (Zzzzzzz). The combat takes place too rapidly to interact with. I like the Japanese influence but gameplay is rather boring. You move your guys.. click on the enemy.. they kill them.. you move on. Whoopeee!
You're really better off saving your money unless you really like Japanese stuff. I'll give it three stars because the graphics don't suck.

Amazing on many levels

This is a game you can play over and over again and it will remain fresh each time. Just play the very first scenario two or three times and you'll discover different weapons, etc. The gameplay is very similar to "Diablo" but is spiced with Japanese mythology adding a whole new flavor to it.

I have NEVER played this game, but if you like your characters played by a computer and not have the ability to plan your battles, by all means get this game. I hated Dark Stone and Vampire because of this horrible feature and died repeatedly.
