Reviews for "Vanguard Mercenary"

best shooter, ever

the only complaints i have are the blockiness of the graphics, and the bad voices. even though this is only a demo, its incredible, i love the weapons. the system seemed rather balanced, combat-wise, some shooters give you too many power-ups, some give you too little, but this game was perfectly balanced. i also loved how you gave the player so many customization choices. the boss was annoying though, it was nice to have those regular enemies for power-ups but they often just gave health and shield. what i liked the most though is that it has a decent story. i say this even though it didnt show much of the story, because it seemed like you wanted to give the player a reason to be there. great job, but the ending saddened me. are you really done with it?

This is all for this installment, but I'm thinking of following it up with a sequel in the long run.
Thanks for your review.

Awesome

Great game Negative, near perfect in all aspects, my only real compliant is when a new gun replaces the one that I still wanted, there may be a way to choose which side though, I'm not sure I didn't go very indepth into the directions and such. By the way you wouldn't happen to have played Einhander by Square Soft would you of? Cause I noticed a similarity between the Zio's ship in this one and Einhander's ship. Fun game none the less, looking forward to your games in production.

NegativeONE responds:

Well, if you don't like the automatic weapon pickup, go into the Options Menu and turn off "Always replace weapons". Then you just use the drop weapon buttons when you want to pick up a new one.
A lot of my inspiration actually came from Einhander. The ship design, however, I have no idea where you're coming from with that. I've just searched up a picture of the Einhander ship on google to make sure I'm not just crazy. The two designs could barely be more black and white. Honestly, I don't see a resemblence. But a lot of the mechanical aspects of the game were derived from Einhander, yeah. Thanks for your review.

Awsome game

Awsome.... Your a sob you use sc sounds (science vessal matrix, ghost rifle, tank mode shot, missle turret shot, unpowed protoss building... and more.... yeah....) lol anyways good game but are you living in the past its 2005 and i dont see the full version ass cock :P anyways you really should update your shit good game tho

NegativeONE responds:

Yeah, based on the limited popularity of this sort-of-demo, I decided not to go ahead with the full version. I invested my time in other Flash projects though, as you'll see. And while it's 2005 now, it was early 2003 when I was making this game, heh. SC was still big back then. Even so, the sounds I used from SC are timelessly good and were a great match for this game. Also, it should be noted that I did credit SC for those sounds.
Thanks for you review. Not sure how you came across this old thing.

awesome
