A messy game with an imperfect port. The new sprites and music tracks are nice but that's about where it ends.

The game has three major issues which I cannot get past: the extremely weak dungeon design (featuring large numbers of rooms which just exist to waste your time and move you into an inevitable encounter due to the extremely high encounter rate), badly programmed menus where neither cursor memory setting feels right and a bug that's been introduced which means that enemies have a 100% chance to inflict status ailments which means that the only actual threat in the game is being surprised by a large group of enemies who 100% stun you and then just stunlock you to death.

I love dungeon crawler type RPGs but the design and interface issues completely ruin the game. Since they haven't even made the scrolling smooth I wouldn't expect this to be fixed, either.
