"Labyrinth of Zangetsu is a profoundly stressful, but admittedly exciting experience. This is a very hardcore RPG that throws you into the deep end. Merely making it out alive feels like an accomplishment and you will feel the sting of …"

"Despite a strong art direction, Labyrinth of Zangetsu doesn&s;t offer much beyond that. Putting it alongside other Dungeon Crawling RPGs that have come out recently, it ends up being so archaic and repetitive in its structure that it doesn&s;t stand …"

"Labyrinth of Zangetsu offers a traditional dungeon crawler RPG experience but doesn&s;t go beyond that simple skeleton of a concept. Only its stylized Japanese ambience is a highlight, making it hard to recommend to any person who isn&s;t already fascinated …"

"Labyrinth of Zangetsu is a beautifully designed game with so much old Eastern cultural inspiration. While the combat system can be a bit unbalanced, it’s still a joy to play."

"Labyrinth of Zangetsu isn’t the longest dungeon crawler (though if you choose the “hardcore” difficulty mode, prepare yourself for a grind that chews through some hours). It is, however, one of the most imaginative examples of the genre in recent …"
