not that i have to repeat everyone but
the gameplay is crazy slow... but before i get to the problems, here are the good parts:
- amazing details to graphics
- hard to find cheats/bugs to take advantage of (like going back to grandpa for free keys/heals, etc & inns go up in price as you progress (smart))
- smooth movement of characters
- excellent sound
- good weapons and items and SIGNIFICANT improvements in attack/defense when buying new things
- awesome creatures, but very weak on their spells
- good time waster that, with work, could be a serious game
however, there were def too many cons:
- lockpicking was fun, but then u have to open 10 crates to move up to medium level treasures? i can only imagine for hard level. all of that is stupid since you have no control over how many crates drop from enemies and since slow gameplay makes you have no interest in repeating fights to get treasures. on that note, why would i try to open 50 crates to power up my archer when i can barely deal with getting the first 10.
- freeze spell made game freeze up between monster/my team rounds
- game would sometimes glitch where almost near top of screen would cut off
- game play is just sooooooooo dreadfully slow. makes no interest in continuing once you beat it. i actually rushed ahead and beat monsters at levels i shouldnt have just to try to finish this and never play it again.
- sometimes game would skip my team members turn for no reason
- why do fire attacks hurt fire creatures, and even worse REALLY HURT THEM A LOT? LMAO
- please allow something like space bar to skip a units turn when you dont want to use it
- please allow for fast npc movements when they attack you as an option
my secrets to success:
- tank mage | plain and simple. give all permanent items to mage that allow magic, hp, mp, defense AND give all kills to mage to level faster
- pile up bodies to make blockade and use knight to block entry point. use arrows and spells from far to finish people off - works especially well on last board. just make sure to leave ONE opening, so that npcs and your players can walk in and out.
- use the inn after fights when u see profit in it. this allows mage to finish off enemies every game with full mana
- dont buy every item and dont bother with armors except maybe for knight who will be wall between enemies and your ranged guys, but DO buy upgraded weapons for everyone AND anything that will add magic to mage
- speed isnt that important
overall, wonderful job. i know you can do much better and you already know the user feedback. i would love to be a game tester for you to offer suggestions/improvements, etc. ive done it for many online games.
