Orcs and Elves review at IGN.

"As the world of videogames advances through its years, so do the gamers' expectations. We want it big. We want it elaborate. We want it to blow our minds with all sorts of visual effects and stuff to do. Although we can certainly reminisce about the good ol' days of the dungeon-crawling games like Bard's Tale, Eye of the Beholder, and Lands of Lore, any game that'd attempt that more simplistic style nowadays would tank in favor of the boffo Square Enix productions, right? Wrong. Orcs & Elves is a surprisingly successful mix of contemporary ideas mixed in with back-to-the-basics game design of the classic dungeon hacker. Its no-nonsense presentation creates a quickly-paced, action-packed game that's full of energy. Even though its simplified gameplay, just like its mobile phone counterpart id Software's design works on the Nintendo DS. It has a way of sneaking under the radar; Orcs & Elves is a great nod to a genre that's been left behind."
