  In the end, Sorcery Saga was a title that took me by surprise. It may not the best of games, but it’s far from the worst. Its lighthearted nature is hard to recommend if you're not a fan of the genre, but if you're willing to try something a little different, there’s enough delicious pleasantries served throughout to satisfy anyone's dungeon-crawling cravings.

  Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God treated me like a bad pet, whacking my nose with a newspaper without ever showing me what I did wrong. I like difficult games, but it was impossible to feel like I was progressing. Tedious mechanics, arbitrary deaths and disturbing, off-putting writing got in the way of any appeal the goofy premise might have held.

  Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God is a spicy title that’s sure to put a smile on your face. While you’ll have licked the campaign clean within around 20 hours, the vast array of equipment, costumes, and items augment you with a good enough reason to double-dip. Like a fiery feast, the experience can be punishing at times – but the overall feeling of reward when you succeed far outweighs the fleeting sting of a lost item or two.

  Are you in the mood for a roguelike-like that is also nauseatingly cute? Want a reason to condition yourself to crave curry for days on end? Need something new to tide you over till Bravely Default floats onto your 3DS? Look no further. Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God is excellent albeit not terribly inspired. It keeps to traditional motifs, eschewing more grandiose ideas in favour of a more familiar flavor. Think comfort food except more cerebral.

  Although Sorcery Saga’s roguelike elements and minor glitches made me feel incredibly frustrated at times, I still enjoyed the story and characters enough to power through its multileveled dungeons just to see what happened once the credits rolled. If you’re looking to expand your gaming palette, Sorcery Saga is a tasty little morsel for the Vita that offers both plenty of challenges and lots of laughs.

  It’s hard to find anything of real importance wrong with Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God, other than the fact that is a rather short adventure and isn’t as robust as others of its kind. That being said, this is without a doubt one of the most traditional roguelikes to come out in a while. As a result, it’s also the single most accessible one to hit the market in years.

  5.0

  Sorcery Saga's light-hearted, void-of-consequence story lacks narrative impetus, which may turn off some RPG fans. Boring music, blocky animations, and a depthless levelling system makes combat dull for any but the most hardcore rogue-like devotees. Food-inspired hijinks and gameplay is a strong concept, but the original story needed to take a few lessons from other successful games in the same genre.

  Compile Heart nos brinda otra de sus excentricidades JRPG, en este caso destinada a PS Vita en exclusiva. Y dadas las particularidades que ostenta el juego, se trata de una obra en plan Dungeon Crawler que sólo será degustada como merece por un grupo muy selecto de usuarios. El resto muy probablemente le encontrarán demasiado raro, difícil de superar y quizá, poco gratificante.
