Dungeon siege isn’t a series that’s new to the gaming world, far from it. First out on the PC as Dungeon Siege, the role player game grew popular in no time at all, and has made its impact on today’s gaming world.
Dungeon Siege I and II were PC titles, with quite an interesting story and gameplay. Now moving to the PlayStation Portable, the story continues on with Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony. Throne of Agony takes off where Dungeon Siege II ends, continuing the story from there.
Of course, if you happened to be a hack ‘n slash fan with a PSP, you really wouldn’t have many choices here. Dungeon Siege is one of those titles, and it lives up to its name, being a great entertainer.
SuperVillain Studios took the PC version of this game and converted all its elements into a portable form and brought it to the PSP, doing a pretty good job too. The gameplay the Dungeon Siege - Throne of Agony PSP version is largely based on the gameplay of the original Dungeon Siege; the game will be a pleasure for old time fans. It also encourages new players, with a few critical changes made to the gameplay system.
This makes Throne of Agony feel like an extended version of its PC predecessors, with improved features, but still retains the charm and presentation of the older games, making it truly pleasurable to play.
One major change is that the click-to-attack methods are gone. Now, instead of clicking on an enemy and watching your hero attack him, you’ll have to manually execute each blow, making the combat factor more dynamic and enjoyable. You’ll also have complete control of all your character’s moves and spells through the analog stick.
At the beginning, you can choose between being a Ranger, Fighter or Mage, with each type being totally different in game. It also involves secondary characters in the form of pets, selection of which is equally important. Gaining experience through the game leads to upgrades of pretty much everything.
Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony certainly lives up to its name, with some fast hack ‘n slash action, some smart AI enemies to deal with, and some awesome quests. Add in some great looking spells and you have a great game that is a must have for all hack-‘n-slash fans.
