What 3D DGH lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in quirkiness, nostalgia and hilarious references to other games.
At it's heart it's a Zelda clone, conquer the world one screen at a time, save the princess, save the world, the same tried and true equation. Where it stands out from the crowd is it's presentation. The story goes, the king of Dotnia needed to attract more tourists and in an effort to modernise the land, went 3D. This is a literal translation of the 2D world so everything is made up of individual ‘dots’ or cubes. This definitely gives it a unique look, especially when vanquished foes explode into a cloud of cubes which bounce around like shrapnel. Another unique feature is that your sword can be upgraded in damage, girth, and length. When fully upgraded, your sword can take up a huge amount of the screen and even go through solid objects making you a force to be reckoned with.
While it's true that it's a rehash of games of old, it does so in a unique way making it a great game for casual players and diehard fans alike.
