The game is being sold as an Role-Playing Game, but it’s more of a First Person Shooter. A bad one, at that. The graphics from Heretic, or even Doom 2, are much better than the graphics used in Baroque.
The cut scene introductions are poor. The introduction is basically “Go to the bottom of that tower.” The rooms are frighteningly similar, with the same monsters appearing repeatedly.
This might have been acceptable on a portable, like the DS — but to launch this on the Wii seems unforgivable. Indeed, the graphics on other Atlus DS games is better than in this Wii game. I have many Atlus games — try out those first. This is a low point for Atlus.

This game is not an action game. It is a mystery dungeon style dungeon crawl with some weird psychological themes in the realm of persona or shin megami tensei.
Very fun and complicated.

How does one review a game like Baroque? It is so unique and just plain weird. I’ve never played Rogue, which others are saying the game is similar to, but I do know that this game is extremely fun.
It’s not a shooter, as another reviewer said. It is a mysterious, dark dungeon crawler, and the primary weapons you use are swords. There is one gun that you get, but it only has 5 ammo. You go down a tower floor by floor, fighting grotesque monsters and collecting a variety of items used to customize your character–parasites and brands are an excellent example. Although you have three ways of attacking with your weapon, you can also use different items as weapons which can really make the game fun. There are just soooo many items!
As others have said, once you die you start from level one with nothing (unless you figure out how to carry over a few select items of your choosing). This is part of what makes the game interesting, because the story is so morbidly strange. You know so little, but every time you get through the tower or die you are able to discover a little bit more of the story. I haven’t finished it yet, and I find myself drawn to go through the tower again and again to finish filling in the gaps. The game also gets very challenging in the lowest levels of the tower–and I’m not even playing on Hard mode. Also, I’ve never found the wall with the face on it that others have talked about, so I guess I need to get through the tower multiple times to see it.
The game is eerie, and can sometimes send some chills down my spine (especially one floor in particular). It’s hard to get tired of this game! The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because you do end up restarting from level one and have to build yourself back up again. But don’t make that scare you away from this game. If you like weird and dark dungeon crawlers, this is for you.

If you enjoy doing random dungeon crawling, in the same looking dungeons over and over and over.
Then go nuts.
They had a good idea with this game but I the constant doing the same thing finally made me put it down before finishing, just didnt feel like wasting more time with it.
The gameplay isn’t even all that great at all.
Graphics are fair.
Just felt the game lacking in content.
