"Amazing"
date: February 5, 2008
This is an outstanding piece of work, which I have played uncountable times.
The graphics are simple, but good. They suit the game's slightly weird and funny atmosphere, and are very smooth. The music fits in nicely with the general feeling of the game, good choice. The jumping sound is a bit too sharp and mechanical, but apart from that the sounds are great. Overall good work.
And now for what brings me back again and again - the gameplay. I do enjoy a good action adventure, and this is one of the best here on newgrounds. It's medium-paced jump and fight action is great, a lot of games of this type become either too slow and tedious or too fast and stressful. Lord of the Stars is just right speed-wise, though. The "level-up" system is masterfully executed, although I think being constantly able to change your equipment/stats isn't such a great idea - checkpoints where you could do that would be nice, or allowing it only on a level up. The system in itself is very good though, giving you full control of how your character develops. The combos are very well done, going over fluidly, and being, like the rest of the game, very good looking. Having both meelee and ranged attacks is nice, too.
Overall, this is a smooth, pleasant and above all fun game. The characters are at times hilarious (the princess' ranged attack always makes me laugh), and are always funny. The game has humor, charm and that special something that makes you come back for more again and again. I congratulate you on making this masterpiece, and thank you for the hours of fun I've had playing it.
