"Not bad; needs some work."

date: March 18, 2008

Here's the monster's patterns, and how to kill them:
Small Tree Guy: Runs at you, swings twice. Kill him by hitting him with a heavy slash while he's still far out, then crouch. Wait for his TWO hits to hit your shield, then pop him a new one.

Small Dark Guy: Runs at you, rolls under your heavy slash, bites you. Kill him by crouching as soon as you see him, let him bite your shield. Swing lightly, he'll roll by - hit him with a heavy slash on his way past you.

Wolves: These guys LEAP at you! DO NOT TRY TO HIT THEM AS THEY'RE COMING IN! Crouch as SOON as you see them, then let them get up next to you. Then just repeat a pattern of block-quick-block-quick until they die. Four hits.

Spiders: Drop from the ceiling or run at you on the ground. Very light, so any hit knocks them far back. Crouch as soon as you see them, let them hit your shield. Knock them back with a light hit, then follow up IMMIDEATELY with a heavy hit to kill them.

Goblins:
Goblins are a huge threat if you get several of them waling on you in a pattern such that you don't have time to lift your shield and get in a hit. Other than that...

Little guy with a shield blocks immideately after he gets hit. Best way to kill him is to strong hit him while he's still far out, then crouch, wait for him to hit you, and light-hit him to kill him.

Guy with a spear is a bit of a pain. Crouch and wait for him to hit you, then fire off a light swing, but let it finish - don't crouch until you see blood. Rinse and repeat.

Tomahawk throwing guy is a pain in the ass, as is the shortbow goblin guy - they're essentially identical, just different pictures. They stand away and shoot at you. That's it, really. Move in while you can, crouch, and then light- swing them to death while blocking their hits.

Big fat guy with the spiked-ball-and-chain is an annoying PITA. He has a HUGE hit range. Crouch and move in, then hit him while he's recovering, which fortunately is also huge. Go ahead and strong hit him if he's all that you're facing.

Big fat guy who rolls spiked-balls at you is an annoying PitA. He's like the tomahawk/archer guy, but stronger and more durable. Deal with him the same way. He's also the only enemy who's attacks you CAN jump over. (Don't even TRY on the others.)

The gubbin chieftain is dirt-easy. Just crouch, wait for his hit to be blocked, light hit him. Fire off your LIMIT BREAKER!!!!! when you get the chance. Rinse, lather, repeat. I did it without him even HURTING me. Goblins are only dangerous in numbers, after all, and he's alone when you fight him.

Cave of Darkness Dwellers:
Yellow drip: Yes, it's DANGEROUS! Don't be hit!

Spiders: Just like the forest, but now they try to flank you. They can be a pain in the ass.
Boss Spider: Fuck if I know! He's HUGE!.....

And at that point I lost interest, because this got boring and lame. If someone wants to pick up from here, be my guest.

Author's Response:

Those are sure some good ways to get past the different enemies. Too bad you lost interest at the spiderqueen. This would have made a good walkthrough :)

"Good presentation"

date: March 18, 2008

I like the way you approached the whole "cut scene" feel to the stage. Little touches like seeing the crow fly off as I approach it is very nice. As a whole, it was a decent game.

My only complaint was that the action was a little repetitive, due to the fact that your strategy will remain fairly consistent throughout the game. Generally, beyond the bosses, most of the other creatures are just annoying distractions.

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah less consistency between enemies and fights or encounters in general is a good idea, thanks. Im glad you liked the animals like that crow you mentioned. I worked hard on the atmosphere and feel of this game so its really cool that you appreciate it :)

Thanks!

"i liked it!"

date: March 18, 2008

really enjoyed this game, just al round good! but like a few others said upgrades would be a good idea for this also (i agree) upgrades always make a game more interesting but i read in one of the reviews that ur still learning how to program well considering that ur still learning to program this game was a bloody good attempt!! =D, keep this kinda thing up m8! just a few things u gota do to get a 10.

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah I agree thanks.
Im still learning a lot about programming flash games as well as animatiion and illustration. I think upgrades and more moves are excellent ideas. The majority wants them and so do I.
So I'll better deliver in my next game :)

"Finally!"

date: March 18, 2008

This is even better than "swept to the end"! Awesome graphics, slick animations and fantastic music. The only thing that botheres me is the fact you can´t save- a quite simple password system would do the job. The end was a bit confusing- will there be a second part? And why the hell are all folks already in the dungeon (king etc.), awaiting the arrival of the hero?
Keep making such games, I love them :3

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Hey! I was hoping you might leave a review :)
Do you mean like the password system you used in Mashhouse? That's a good idea. Oh and this game was made with the possibility of there being a sequel. I dont know if I will focus on other projects first, but Im planning on making one.

I thought the king and everybody else explained the situation in the end quite clearly, sorry :( Well Lord Felkon basically sent a messenger to Stormguard saying that Lord Felkon rescued the princess and the king came here etc. They did not await the arrival of the guard. The guard interrupted a wedding ceremony taking place, but too late. Something fishy is going on. It looks like Lord Felkon might have put a spell on the princess :)

Thanks for the review! Much appreciated!

"Very interesting..."

date: March 18, 2008

It took a few tries in some areas but I finally figured out how to kill the big ass spider. I thought it was quite annoying that it would just spit on you over and over if you couldn't get out of the way immediately and would just be stuck there taking the damage until you died. I loved the story telling and the themes involved. I'm assuming by the way the game ended there's going to be at least one sequel correct? Silly fulkan needs to get whats coming to him.

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah Im definitely planing on a sequel.
Its so great that so many people want one. Sorry that the spider was so annoying. Im really glad you liked the story and the themes. Lord Felkon will get his deserves :)
Thanks!

"I must say.."

date: March 18, 2008

The music is brilliant, and the fighting is hectic and fun, it's just a bit too boring. The cutscenes were very boring, I'd read all the text and then have to sit around and wait for the game to continue. The lack of a save feature was also pretty disappointing.

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Im glad you liked the fighting. That's awesome :)
The reason why I made the cutscenes so slow was because I kept slow-readers in mind, but I should have made a button where you can skip not just the whole cutscene, but every part of it one by one as well.
Thanks for the review.

"Cool game"

by: JasBar
date: March 18, 2008

I would give it a 10 but the spider end guy isn't balanced very well, It's maddening. If you were just fighting the big spider thats different but the spiders keep coming. They pin you down and he vomits on you over and over. If you get stuck in this your just screwed. But I think it was very well done, I LOVE THE BEGINNING CREDITS, very artistic and creates a good mood to the game.

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

I can see you got quite frustrating with that spiderqueen :)
Well, the thing is it is a boss and not meant to be as easy as the rest. Believe me, I can kill it without getting hurt once, but then again, Im the one who made this game! The spider queen has a rythm that you just have to learn if you cant kill it otherwise. And the little spiders at the bottom are there to distract you. Dont let them. Main things, dont get caught under its puke and use your special move with strategy.

Anyway, its really cool you liked this game so much. I worked hard on the atmosphere and feeling of this game, so Im glad you appreciated that. Thanks!

"well"

by: synaps
date: March 18, 2008

the graphics were awesome, musics is good, but as most of ppl said, it gets boring. The variety of monsters is good, coz u make a strategy to fight every single monster. But the time betwen monsters should be a little shorter, i mean, you kill one guy, and walk 10sec to kill another. The only thing i hated was when u get like 3-4 guys infront of you, all bashing at the same time, its impossible to kill em, you let your shield down, and even your quick slash isnt quick enough, i mean the attack gets canceled. And one last thing, like most said, include some upgrades or something. For example for the weak ass goblin u get 1 coin, from the big mofo u get like 3, and so on, and every once in a while you come across a weapon and armor shop, something like that would make the game ill. good game non the less, hope to see more.

March 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah many people have said that upgrades and more moves would have made this much better. This game was meant to be a more simpler game only concentrating on action and adventure, but I agree with you guys and will definitely consider things like that for my future game projects. Im glad you liked the graphics and the music. MaestroRage is awesome. And yeah, it does get frustrating with 4 enemies in front of you and really hard to kill them. Try to use your special move with more strategy.
Thanks for the review :)
