It's arguably more of a Zelda title than some of Nintendo's recent efforts!ģD Dot Heroes is set in a world trapped in the past. It's just that 3D Dot Heroes is perhaps the most undeniable clone of a game that has ever existed.

Don't mistake that to mean that 3D Dot Heroes is a cheap rip-off, though every inch of the game, from the graphics to the soundtrack and the gameplay, has been lovingly crafted in homage to The Legend of Zelda. While Shadow Complex was extremely similar to a Metroid title, 3D Dot Heroes is a classic 2-D Legend of Zelda game. Atlus' new title, 3D Dot Heroes goes a little further. The recent Shadow Complex was basically a love letter to Super Metroid. Sometimes games will go a little further and serve as an homage to an old title that they loved. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Games like Dante's Inferno or Dead Space are clearly inspired by God of War and Resident Evil 4, respectively. While many games try to be their own special thing, you'll occasionally get the rare game that attempts to copy another.
