I played this originally on PSP, but it was ported to PC and held up pretty well. You will explore tons of dungeons in this game. There is no world map to explore, just a map where you click on where you want to go. The town you do get to explore is very small. The characters are mostly likable and the story is pretty well told, but the gameplay is more where this game's strengths are. The dungeons are fun and sometimes challenging. The puzzles aren't very hard to figure out, which I like because I hate when I waste too much time and the solution made no sense anyway. There are hidden areas and breakable walls in the dungeons so it will take a few plays of each dungeon to find everything. The replay value in Gurumin lies solely in whether you want to better your rank in each dungeon. There's a lot of difficulty levels to choose from. There are also many costumes to unlock, some of which are tied to ranks in the dungeons, and others to which difficulty you play on. The voice acting is excellent and they got some really good talent for the cast, but they just aren't given a whole lot to work with. If you like dungeon crawlers, this game is an excellent choice. Just don't go in expecting more, because that's solely where this game's strengths are.

This game has nice music and a good English voice cast. I felt that the camera movement was not the best at times and for some reason you can't rotate the camera at all while in certain areas of the town. Gurumin has a lot of stuff to unlock so there is good replay value but unfortunately the game is a little repetitive and I found myself spamming two different attacks. Sadly the story is not that great and isn't very long either. If you like action RPGs and don't mind the art style you'll enjoy this.
