When I first about developer Experience’s game Students of the Round for the Xbox 360, I was hoping that it would make its way over to Western territories, but alas, it wasn’t to be. Thankfully NISA saw fit to pick up its successor for the Vita, Demon Gaze. The game is styled in the dungeon crawling gameplay of the RPG heyday, and this game is still very rooted in that mold, although it does try a few thing to stand out, which might have mixed feelings for player’s sensitivities and sensibilities.

Playing a Trials game is a lot like learning how to ride a bike, the first several attempts you fail miserably and take one bad spill after another, leaving you to wonder why the hell anyone wants to do this anyway, but when it finally clicks you’re left wondering why you ever hated it. Fusion continues this tradition along much of the same lines, its only fault might be the fact that it doesn’t stray from the track.

As alluded to in the last sentence, not much has changed as far as the basic objective of the game, which is to safely navigate a course on a motorbike from left to right, shifting your weight and adjusting your acceleration to account for the many ramps and obstacles in your path to make sure you land safely. There are 40 courses in the main game, with 4 medals each to earn. The first bronze medal is awarded merely for getting to the finish, while silver and gold require beating the course within a given amount of time and avoiding a certain number of crashes/faults (pressing the B button resets your position to the last checkpoint). Unlocking new courses requires earning a specific number of medals from the courses already available to you, which means that you’ll be replaying them whether you like it or not. If the included courses aren’t enough for you, there’s also a track editor as well as a community section full of uploaded tracks ready to go, with curated weekly picks to boot.
