 Eew! Random trash February 19, 2001
7 out of 13 found this review helpful
The randomness of the dungeons makes sure that all of them are poorly "designed". There is absolutely no progress or purpose in playing because after each dungeon you go back to level 1. The same randomness makes your success in the game completely dependent on luck, not what you do. You may find yourself stuck in some place where you can't progress because luck has given you an impossible set of enemies. And you wants to be a fat middle-aged man? This uses some of the enemy monsters from the famous Dragon Quest series. That is the only reason anyone would buy it: if they're a big fan of Dragon Quest. But why would there be Dragon Quest fans in the US if Enix has neglected to translate or release the last few games of the Dragon Quest series in the US?
 Maybe not the best RPG,but a good one...I enjoyed it anyway. December 28, 2000

Even though this game may not have everything that you would like in a RPG,it still is a pretty solid RPG game.Not only that,but fans of the Dragon Quest/Warrior series will most likely enjoy this game since it is a spin off from Dragon Quest/Warrior 4 with Torneko(aka Taloon) being the hero.If you are a die hard DQ/DW fan like me,then this game is a must buy.But,if you're not really into the DQ/DW series,then I'd suggest you rent this game before you buy it.
Torneko:The Last Hope December 18, 2000

Why? Why was this ever made? You immediadetly know there's something wrong with a game, when it's graphics are worse than those of the original Nintendo. Torneko is a boring and tedious dungeon crawler, with randomly generated enemies, items, and weapons. This is a huge problem since sometimes i had gone with only several enemies and all items that i needed, other times i had armies of enemies and very little items, in which i had no chance of winning from the begining. To win you don't need skill, just luck. The story is too simple and the main character is a fat middle aged guy. There are many beutiful RPGs with engrossing gameplay and graphics, on the market. You don't need this game for whatever reason.

This game give a new hope to the RPG industry. While it's graphics are only mediocre, and it's storyline not too strong, it does have some strong points. Starring Torneko (a.k.a. Taloon) of Dragon Quest/Warrior IV it is a lot different than other DQ/DW games. You must go around through "magical dungeons" to collect money, item, and fight foes. And depending on the different things you did during the game will determine your "game ranking." It also serves partly as a sequel to the japanese games Torneko no Daibouken* for Super Famicom, and Toruneko No Daiboken 2: Fushigi No Dungeon** for PlayStation. I recommened this game to anyone who enjoyed playing the Dragon Warrior and/or Dragon Quest games.* roughly translated Taloon's Great Adventure, ** roughly translated Taloon's Great Adventure 2: Dungeon of Mystery
