"Original and fun, but one major problem."

Unlike many idiotic NG "reviewers", I try to finish a game before posting a review for it rather than simply blamming it based on a first impression. However, I couldn't do that for Absalom. Why? I died on the Golem, and simply didn't have the patience to start over. The moment I realized death meant restarting the game from scratch, I shut off my computer in disgust. You really need a save feature. Again, if there is one beyond the point I reached, my apologies. I'd have given you a 9 but for that fault.

Great game other than that. I love the battle system. Only suggestion I can make is having the characters learn new skills as they level up, not just adding on cards and stats. Maybe they can start with 2 or just their basic single skill, and from there learn up to 8 (2 for each suit). Just a suggestion for future chapters.

Hm. As I'm typing this, I just realized chapter 2 is already out. If you implemented this in chapter 2, I apologize again. In a couple days, I'll return to this and beat chapters 1 and 2 and perhaps give the second one a more fair and complete review.

Score: 6

"Not horrible but..."

I like the music alot. Especially the fight theme. The story wasn't bad. The way it looked and the way you used cards was what made it mediocre. Innovative, but not entertaining.

"Bad!"

by: Kuromaru

date: July 6, 2005

Frankly, I didn't like this game for several reasons. One: I have no idea how to fight. Two: the graphics aren't that good. And three: The only things you can do is move backward and forward, talk to people, and fight ( which, again, I have no idea how to do).
This game would have been a lot better if you had actually explained how to fight.

Score: 6

This game is just horrid! Horrible graphics, and too hard for words.... plus you never actually tell how to fight that well... very confusing....

Score: 4

i put 6 for sound cuz i like the battle music. the game gets pretty hard becuz u cant heal during battle and sometimes the main character strikes first. i think thats a load of crap just to say. the game is ok but please put in in a different flash!!!

Score: 10

"Good, enjoyable game"

Very enjoyable game. Then again, I am a hardcore RPG gamer. This game gave me a unique experience and gave me the proof that even with a low level of flash, you can make something great. The card system was unique. This system actually made me think about where to put my cards in relation to the monsters I face. Good system, good game. Keep it up.

Score: 8

So the graphics sucked...it was still more fun to play than almost anything else on NG. I'm super excited to start on the next installment!
