"ewwww"

date: April 5, 2008

it was a good idea, but why does every enemy have twice the attack range of me, or more. anytime there is an enemy you will get hit once. And if there's two, you'll lose a good chunk. Also when i jmp they will hit way below me and i will appear on the ground hurt. seriously dude.

Author's Response:

The jumping is a bit flawed. It was the best I could do at the time, but I am imroving and will rectify that problem in my next game. Also, the hit detection can use some work, but I was under the impression that it was more in your favour than in the favour of the enemies according to my own experiences while playing the game as well as all the reviews. Making this game taught me a lot and I think I will be able to improve on these flaws... I hope :)

Sorry it was so irritating!

"like the game alot but.."

date: April 5, 2008

its really repetitive and al u do is walk forward. either way the game has good graphics and a great story line.

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

Thanks, glad you like the game!
Yeah I know its repetitive, its supposed to be. Its just a simple hack n slash game where you swing your sword to kill enemies. The story and atmosphere is the driving force behind the game, but I will keep your comments in mind for the sequel...

"Kinda lame"

date: April 5, 2008

The game is way to easy and way to little but it had a nice tittle but it needs more work.

"Could have been better"

date: April 5, 2008

Sorry but :
It's too easy and gets boring too fast. I expected more.

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

Okay.
Well, I didnt promise much with this game. It was supposed to be a simple hack n slash game, but somehow people expected much more like powerups and items and a money system etc. I dont know why.

"Decent game"

by: Kenrae
date: April 3, 2008

The game is simple, but good for a one go. The first half is too easy, then it becomes a more interesting, but it need some more options so that you must change tactics from monster to monster. Oh, and I liked the end, now I want a second part ;).

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

Cool, thanks for the review and the suggestions. I will keep them in mind. Glad you liked the game. I am making a sequel at the moment. It might take a few months though...

"Decent."

by: dyonis
date: April 1, 2008

The game has a good storyboard and decent artwork. i would recomend
. Easier to level up
.make the scenes go faster
. more monsters per lvl

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah, I agree that the cutscenes are too long. I guess I was taking people who read real slow into consideration, but maybe I should have just put a "next" button so that you can skip to the next part in the cutscene if it gets too slow. One thing I dont get is you recommend that it should be easier to level up. How can it be easier to level up if you cant level up at all?
Thanks for the review and input, I appreciate it.

"cool game but 2 much,"

date: April 1, 2008

the intro part was cool but after the credits roled the game went downhill from that it became boring and it took to long to get to the next level. i mean i got tired of killing the lilttle goblins monsters r whatever they were

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

Well, after the intro part, there arent any goblins for a long time and quite a few new enemies are introduced before you meet some more goblins, so I guess what Im saying is that your review does not make much sense, but thanks for it anyway and Im glad you liked the game!

"The hitbox is too big"

by: Ion8er
date: April 1, 2008

It's too easy to just sit there, holding the quick attack button, and letting things run into your sword. The hitbox also extends well past the tip of your sword, allowing me to kill the big fat goblins when the were 2 feet away from the edge of my sword.

Also, I have seen way too many good hack and slashes, such as Staffy the Boy scout slayer, to play this.

Sorry bro.

Nice graphics, though.

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

I understand. The hit detection is defintely flawed and I know this game needs improvement. I have learned a lot while making this game so that the sequel will not be as flawed as this one. This is just the best I could do at the time. But, really, do you think my efforts were worth only 2? Thanks for the review anyway.

"Well I l like it..."

date: April 1, 2008

For the first part of the game, I just went through like a fucking lawnmower holding A, that worked awesome until the spider cave, then I had to use strategy... Sort of... After that it was pretty easy.

I like the game, but possibilities for improvement are that EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE will absolutely orgasm over a game where you make money, go to a shop, buy better stuff that improves not only the damage and damage mitigation of your character, but also makes him look cooler. Also more engaging enemies, and throw in a few skills, and there you have it.

People like not feeling alone in games, NPCs in towns help to rectify this, and also the ability to hire mercenaries with various skills (Priest, Archer, etc.) makes the game not only more customizable, but much more fun.

Keep it up, I will be on the lookout for your next game should you implement these things. :D

May 4, 2008

Author's Response:

Thanks for a great review!
You have some really good ideas and suggestions which I will keep in consideration for my next game. I am busy making a sequel for this game and will definitely keep your comments in mind. I dunno about mercenaries for hire though. I just dont know if my coding skills are good anough for that. I am still pretty new at making games.
