Unsurprisingly, I spent my lunch hour playing this game. I mainly spent my time in custom dungeons, so I thought I’d give a quick guide to how that feature works.

First you click the feather near the top of the map screen.


Then you chose a song. In this case, I’m going to choose Unsolved Child Murder by The Auteurs.


And lo and behold…


…the Lair of Spirits has been created. Let’s go have a look at it. First I need to choose which sword to use. The Training Sword is useless, so forget that. My Raijin Blade is decent, but I’ve now also got Durandal, which I created from Poker Face by Lady Gaga. It’s got the same number of special moves as the Raijin Blade, fewer upgrade slots and more offensive special moves, compared to the Raijin’s Blade more supportive moves. It’s hard to choose between them, but this time I’ll go with Durandal.


Next, I get to choose items from my inventory to take with me, but if I die in the dungeon I lose them. I’m using custom dungeons to try and gather items, so I won’t take any with me this time.


Now we’re all set, so let’s get going!


There we are, that’s the dungeon I created. The first floor is full of useful items and the enemies aren’t too hard. Lovely. Now, let’s go down the stairs to level two…


Oh crap! Help!

Yes, death came quickly in that room. The Lair of Spirits dungeon is actually good for me at the moment, though. The first two floors are pretty easy, usually, and I can normally find an escape item and lots of other nice things. So I’ve been going in, grabbing as much as I can and hoping to find an escape item so I can get out again. Most attempts end in death, but I’ve had enough success to get quite a nice little stock of items in my inventory.

I really, really like this game, you know. However, as well as the problems I mentioned in my last post, I’ve found a new one. Sometimes the game stops responding to all inputs and I have to quit out of the game and come back in. I think it’s when I use an escape item that will let me leave the dungeon my next turn. I use the item, but now and again my next turn never comes. It’s happened a few times now and it’s very irritating.
