Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth isn’t a game you will play for its plot, since you won’t understand a damn thing about it. You will buy it because it looks, feels and plays like Symphony of the Night, but you’ll keep glued to it because it features enough qualities to make it stand out not only from its main source of inspiration, but from most metroidvanias in the market.
Leo Faria · Jan 28, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewI’d say this works to its advantage given the glut of genre entries that focus so much on returning to previously insurmountable obstacles with new powers. Deedlit doesn’t gain too many new abilities, even though she does get stronger as the game progresses. Because enemies become more dangerous the further in you get, level ups don’t always feel that meaningful. Instead, you need to find better swords or bows, and power up your spirits to keep enemies at bay. Ultimately though, the minute-to-minute gameplay is fun as hell, and I was a bit disappointed to reach the end credits. I’d gladly take another handful of stages right now, but I’ll settle for working on 100 percent map completion.
Jordan Rudek · Jan 28, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe game boasts some great graphics due to the awesome sprite work, and it has an extremely catchy soundtrack; which is always a nice bonus. I think Team Ladybug managed to put out a game that has something for quite a varied audience. Those that are fans of the novels or anime series will surely find something to love, but those of us who enjoy ‘metoridvania’ type games will find a lot to appreciate as well; and who knows maybe even turn the next generation of fans onto Record of Lodoss War as a whole.
Terrence Johnson · Jan 20, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewDespite its lacklusterness, it’s hard for me not to recommend Record of Lodoss War – Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth considering that it’s on Game Pass. If you like Metroidvanias, or action platformers, then it’s definitely worth a look. But if you are expecting a top-of-line experience like its inspiration Symphony of the Night, you’ll be disappointed. Wonder Labyrinth checks all the boxes and features some unique Team Ladybug ideas, but nothing about it stands out from the pack.
Jake Plant · Jan 05, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewRecord of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth doesn’t take too long to beat — even the most curious/thorough/careful player is unlikely to go over the 10-hour mark — but when the adventure’s this much fun and as densely packed with creativity, does it matter? At the end of it all you’re far more likely to feel satisfied than short-changed, and Deedlit’s tale is a surprisingly touching one regardless of how much or little you already know about Lodoss.
Kerry Brunskill · Dec 20, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewDeedlit in Wonder Labyrinth hits all the right notes: big bosses, harrowing platforming, and cool weapons. The music is fun, energetic, and varied between the six areas. The story, while not particularly deep or unique, progresses at a good clip and resolves in an extremely satisfying way. It’s also a bit on the easy side, but really, I never found any of the explore-’em-up Castlevanias to be difficult in the slightest, so it at least sticks close to its inspiration.
Zoey Handley · Apr 11, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewDeedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a brief but fun foray into a well-worn genre. The mode-swapping and elemental attacks are enjoyable, but the game is over just when it starts to reach a proper crescendo, with 100 percent of the map revealed (and presumably all the gear and spells) in under six hours. Not quit a full symphony, but a fun little ensemble.
Eric Watson · Apr 06, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewAt the end of the day, Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth isn’t a bad game, but it’s undoubtedly Team Ladybug’s weakest work. Even the weakest from their output is well worth playing, but unlike with Touhou: Luna Nights I wouldn’t go out of your way to make time for it.
James Galizio · Apr 06, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewRecord of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is an amazing Metroidvania. The environments, enemies, and clever use of magic and weapons go beyond influences as the developers truly make this adventure their own. The lack of weapon differentiation is mended by the use of elements and low-impact puzzles, but the short runtime and low difficulty may leave you wanting more.
Azario Lopez · Mar 29, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewOverall, I have to give Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth a strong recommendation. It’s on Steam in Early Access and well worth the price of admission. With content updates coming on the regular, expect that we’ll be revisiting this game again soon. For now, I recommend you enjoy the incredible visuals and addictive gameplay. It’s one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve played, and I hope it lands for you as well.
