"Not Quite On The Mark"
date: October 4, 2009
It was very fun at first. But then the inevitable happened: it got too long, too hard and too tedious.
The arrows do not hit the target as it should because both arrow and target are just too small for me to see if I am aiming at a critical point, on target etc.
The runes combinations have no explanation on what they do until AFTER I have spent my runes to create spells. This meant I wasted a number of runes, which annoyed my greatly.
There is no melee option either and since there are so many of the enemies who utilise melee weapons, it prompts the question of "Where the hell is mine?" For instance, I was backed into a corner several times but could only shoot my arrows rapidly (meaning strength of shots is greatly decreased) and lost major amounts of health.
Furthermore, there is no purchasing of health or mana potions. While admittedly, the health and mana orbs do replenish, it's just too slow! And with the waves upon waves of enemies that are continously spat out of the portals, there's also not enough of it. While admittedly the portals and waves are an interesting addition, it eventually makes it too hard to progress forward on the maps.
But I suppose overall, the game does deserve its dues. It's fun, but there's a long way to go before it's fantastic.
