Product Description

Four heroes--a sultry wizardress, a soaring gunslinger, a powerful swordsman and a dark huntress--are about to be hurtled over the edge in a flight into darkness. Sudeki pushes the limits of what a role-playing game (RPG) can be by providing bigger worlds, more powerful heroes and sexier heroines, all set in the context of Hong Kong-style cinematic combat. In a world ripped apart by deceit, Sudeki players become heroes on a twisting path of betrayal, gravity-defying combat and unbelievable magic.

Sudeki features cinematic combat with dozens of moves, slow-motion bullet time, earthshaking spells and hundreds of destructive melees and ranged weapons. There are hordes of enemies to battle, more than 80 enemies, ranging from Accursed Undead to massive battle fortresses. Players battle as a team of four fierce heroes and can conduct massive, cooperative spirit strikes in which characters combine to devastate legions of foes.

Customer Reviews

God, I loved this game!
It's just soooooooooo much fun! It's absolutely beautiful to look at and, as one of the other reviewers above has said, you can vary combat by switching to any one of the four characters even in mid-battle.

The controls are really easy to use and simple to learn. For me, the game was pitched at exactly the right level of difficulty, but there are is at least one insanely hard boss battle quite early on for the sado-masochists among you! You really do need to pay attention to the skills and weapons with which you are equipping the characters. It's actually a lot of fun to collect the tokens and beef up to the ultimate weapons for each character (although, having said that, some of the so-called 'ultimates' are not as cool as other weapons you collect along the way.)

And boy, did I care about the characters! The voices are good (especially Elco - 'I kill you in the face!' anyone? ) and the Light/Dark part of the story provides even more variety (but I don't want to give too much away!)The story is not original for any RPG - it's no surprise who the baddie is - but it's done with flair, and obvious love and it's awash with great visuals. Even those characters one would normally avoid playing are worth mastering and have a part to play in the story - the weak girly ones - and as a weak girly myself I mean no disrespect to other girlies out there; it's just that in games they can often be no fun to play due to lack of ability to stand up to fights. That's not the case in Sudeki. I have to say I did feel cheated by the lack of FMV to finish off the game following the last boss battle, but that was because I cared about the story and what would happen to those characters after.

It isn't a game like Halo, it is more like Fable's wacky Japanese cousin with spikier hair and perhaps a more varied combat system. If you liked Fable you will probably like Sudeki too.

Play it - it's an absolute hoot.

Probably the best title on the X Box
Maybe I am being a bit controversial declaring this to be the best game I've played on the X Box, but then I love RPGs where fighting and magic is done by cartoony looking spiky haired youths, but that is not my only reason for saying that. This game looks great and apart from a couple of camera nuances that sent my head a bit skee whiff it plays wonderfully.
The characters have personalities and the landscapes are beautiful. There are enough sidequests to give a nice diversion but not too many to bore you. The boss fights are hard but not so hard that you can't see your way to ever succeeding and not all the challenging aspects are fights - getting the girl back to safety at the end was the hardest part of the whole game for me.
I haven't been able to try Halo etc as FPS games make me feel a bit headachy at times so cannot compare this against those but put this up against Fable and this would win for me every time. It has a good story, plenty of challenging fights and puzzles and opens up to the player really well. I absolutely loved it.

Awesome combat, pretty fair the rest of it
Most hardcore RPG'ers would probably rate this as a pretty average game, the story is pretty weak and the voice acting isn't so hot BUT... and when I say 'but' I mean it's a big 'but', the combat system is absolutely first-rate, to my mind making it easily worth buying. The system for levelling characters and upgrading weapons and armour is also pretty first-rate, so generally, if you can put up with the plot and voice-talent being strictly average, you will enjoy this game.
