Same Thing

i fell in love with this game but yea.. id build up my guy pretty far and then after id win a battle it would saw i had lost.. hope you fix it because i want to see how far i can take it.. my wins that turned to losses were 2 after the second championship battle and the third was the immediate battle after the second champion.. awesome game though

CLEAN UP THE BUGS

First, because I like to be helpful, here is a tip for the frustrated: STRENGTH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE. If you have 18 strength and you enemy has 1 strength (as indeed happened for me), you'll probably win. Charisma is least important, you don't need much stamina (if you're strong enough you can just shove your enemies back a long way if you need to rest) you need a moderate amount of vitality and I put 6 into my attack so that I can hit them more. Defense doesn't matter that much since you'll block a lot no matter what defense you have. But first priority is strength. Also, I recommend fighting the first battle with no weapon (you can do this if you have enough strength) and then getting the SECOND sword, skipping the first one. This will help you against the first boss.

OK, now on to the bugs. I swear, this is so irritating. Here are some bugs:
-Sometimes when you hit an enemy, it says "taunt" even though it wasn't a taunt but an ordinary attack.
-When you're trying to level up, the bar after the fight tells you nothing. It always fills up all the way but you don't always get to the next level
-Finally, the #1 most annoying bug in the game: sometimes, it says you lost a battle WHEN YOU DIDN'T. This has happened twice to me, both times after I have beaten two bosses and was fighting one of the lesser enemies. The enemy will be lying dead on the ground and the screen will say "Gladiator defeats Rios Cheshire" and then the defeat screen will come up saying "Rios Cheshire defeats Gladiator," and you can even still see the "Gladiator Defeats Rios Cheshire" still there in the background.

For the interested, these are my stats at the point when this game-ending bug happened to me for the second time:
Level 6
Exp 7813/9000
Armor class 17
Damage 42 to 56
Hitpoints 70 of 70
Strength 18
Attack 6, Vitality 4
all other stats 1
Battles Fought 9

Please post when you have fixed this game-destroying bug because the game is fun and I would like to play it all the way through.

nice one

very interesting game you got here. the whole idea behind this game was great, very original, and it made this one great. the gameplay itself was great too... swords and sandals was an excellent idea too.
great job on this one, hope it wins an award.

Pretty good

Fun. It kept me entertained. Graphics could have been a bit better. That's about all I can think of. Nice work.

Nice job man

Great game. You do need a continue button. Other than that good game.
