Sorry you didn’t enjoy this review. For what it’s worth, I’m not very happy with it either. I was still relatively new to writing at this point and I don’t think I properly articulated how much I enjoyed Doom & Destiny. The game is ranked, as of this writing, #69 on my Leaderboard (out of over 360 total XBLIGs I’ve played). So my aim was off here. I do plan on going back and giving this review a second chance, if nothing else to play around with all the since added content.

On other note, the bad translation wasn’t intentional. The developers of Doom & Destiny (whom I’m actually pretty friendly with, it might surprise you to find out) do not speak English as a first language and did have issues doing a proper English translation, as they will openly admit to you.

If you enjoyed Doom & Destiny, I would suggest checking out another XBLIG by them, SpyLeaks, which is a very, very good puzzle game akin to the old school Adventures of Lolo series. Currently ranked as the 16th best XBLIG of all time by me.

Thanks for reading. You’re right. This review did suck.

You’re all sounding rather pretentious complaining about them so much. Also the comment someone made about it ‘being on the developer’…………….Wow………OK…………Here’s your crown ‘Soapbox Sadie’.

I’ve always loved RPGs. And I have a lot of the complaints about them in general as the reviewer here. Tedious combat, tired stories, cliche characters, etc. And that’s part of my appeal with them too. I think its mainly in the presentation and how well everything is written that does it for me.

BUT some of the comments made here………..You have GOT to be the queen douche if you think that someone playing a game they really love over and over again is a reason for them to forever be in the virginity zone. Oh I’m sorry? Was that comment a joke? So sorry, but I found it tasteless and stupid. You shouldn’t be allowed to write reviews. SEE!? See how MUCH OF A DICK I JUST SOUNDED LIKE!? That was you this whole review.

I think Doom And Destiny is a great game, with some awesome writing, and some great charm with all the parodying within it. Yeah, its not for everyone, but what game is? Some will find the RPG Maker part of it stupid, like this reviewer, or will find them charming. Like I did.

Usually I don’t let reviews get to me so much because…….y’know……..everyone has their own opinions……..But after seeing this………a “IT SUCKS!!! But…..y’know…….YOU might like it” review………It was my turn to be ‘Soapbox Sadie’.

P.S. I find it funny that the Douchebag protagonists were complained about as well. That was sorta a joke as well because they were based off of the writer’s real-life friends. Also if you pay attention to the story, they’re douchebags……….but not as much as everyone else. Seriously.

Its nice, so far. Your review was one of the contributors to me downloading it. Thanks for helping.

The game has had a lot of patching since I reviewed this over a year ago and I believe a lot of those things are new additions. I have Doom & Destiny ranked #65 out of 329 Xbox Live Indie Games I’ve played, so I hardly hated it.

…just wanted to make juvenile references of her own without really exploring the game.

It is the kind of game I wish I saw in the NES and SNES generation of games: funny dialogue to contrast the typical seriousness of the action. It’s hilarious how the monsters, humans, and animals all say these incredibly insulting things as they attack. It is a funny RPG, and that it has the same feel of those early NES/SNES games is great.

The review, in addition to its hypocritical ranting, totally misses the great points of this game. It reads like the reviewer

the 4 orbs in Destiny castle?
One is in the ball room, one is in the east side of the castle, 1st floor, in a closet in a bedroom, another one at the second floor, east side, where you have to match the forniture to advance 😉
