"Good game but major glitch ~"

by: AceGamer

date: March 28, 2008

Been playing this for about 20 minutes, and was going to give it a 9, but what really ruined this for me was a major glitch I found :(
On wave 17, against the big rock thing and those green mages, after I was weakened by those over the top knights from wave 16 ;) The rock guy killed me, while I was turned into a boar. Fair enough, wait 15 seconds, respawn and kill him, But while I had been turned into a grave stone, the green mages shot it, and added 5 seconds to the respawn time, each time.
Other than that, enemies get powerful too quick, bosses take to long to kill, sword becomes useless, and spell respawn time takes to long on enemies that would take 20 minutes to kill with the sword alone.

"Decent game, but could be better"

I'm sure you've heard these few complaints before, but I'll quickly get them out of the way:
The death timer should (in my opinion) be constant, and 10 seems like a good amount of time. Either that or the player should be able to do something during the time, i.e. press keys to slow down the enemy.
The huge guys are indeed a tad hard, but due to the spells, it was not quite challenging, rather than how long I'm willing to wait to kill them. Dying wasn't an issue.
Why was dying not an issue? It's because I can get the enemy to follow me. I can simply have them follow me until all my spells (the ultimate ones included) and kill them off with that. That's why it was more a game of patience with me. The melee attack should be upgradable or something to that extent to maintain it's usefulness.
The green mage people were hell annoying, but sorta funny at the same time.
Now what could be done to improve it. I'm no expert on game coding or balancing things, but I'll do my best.
When you die, have the counter be at 10 or so.
Make your melee attack upgradable/generally better
Once the enemy passes you, have it just go to the castle rather than simply continuously follow you (if you get close enough, it'll leave the castle door).
Maybe include a timer on how much longer the invincibility shield thing will last.
Upgradable spells are almost always a nice touch...
Somehow have it so that the player can't beat around the bush until the spells all cooldown (in addition, you can use your thunderbolt the moment it gets to 0, then just wait around with it activated, meaning you can essentially save up 2 thunderbolts).
I like the way you can chooses between 2 different alignments in your spells, but maybe you could make it so you can only choose one, but the spells have the same effect. There could also be a 'neutral' section, and an ultimate spell can only be unlocked by getting both all neutral and aligned spells.
Don't get me wrong, I liked your game. Looking forward to any future work!

"good game"

by: FantasyBlade

date: March 28, 2008

it is a nice game, easy enough, takes some brains and patience to make it through the game though, which is good. loled at the green sorcs that hexed me. but the knight's skills are quite one tracked, would be nice if theres different class like an archer, mage or something. im asking for alot, aint i :P great job

"Great!"

I enjoyed this game alot.
Many pros
A few cons...
the green sorcerers were quite overpowered, cool-down on spell maybe?
not enough spells!
you wouldnt need more spells if you could augment or improve your melee power.
Very good job!
