Reviews for The Foyle

[shulpak]

the best thing is the main menu*

the art in this game is beautiful compared to a lot of the crap on this site, so its good to see some artist's love in a game. but that doesn't make up for poor, non-challenging gameplay. not a problem, just some balance issues to workout. if you made a second version, this game has potential of being one of the all time bests

*this has got to be one of the most creative, awesome menu screens i have ever seen, and i thought the game would duck and cover combat. that would be cool. maybe to could make something out of that (hint hint). one thing i do is have an alpha fade on the top parts of all those moving background parts just so you can't see each moving image.

damn that is one fine animation, i just keep moving my cursor back and forth!

work on it a little more

Great game in concept and gaphics and controls and all. But as people said, there's a lot of graphical bugs and anomalies (like the guy in the hummer'S turret that flips from side to side at incredible speed and the flame of his gun not following the gun). also when you die and try to resume everything is unequiped and the game starts while you are in the menu, if you equip stuff it doesn't appear in the game (wich is already playing) and you die... if you dont equip, well you die by lack of guns and firepower. So basically, if you die once, you have to start the game over.

Also, the game is pretty random on what you get in each base. The first time i played i tried to search 100% of all bases to have maximum ammo. I ended up dead after 3 bases because i had no ammo and no helpers or guns other than the jackhammer.
The second time i played i tried the opposite, searching only to find the gas to go to the other station as fast as possible....i ended up with so many bullets for all guns, so many guns of each kind and so many survivors that i didn't have place to put them all and both my helpers had miniguns and i had the bugged dude in the hummer.

All that to report the few bugs i found so you can improve the game.

Fix all that and this will be one of the good games around here (maybe add a little more diversity to make it one of the best games)

Good, but flawed

It has too many bugs to be enjoyable. Great idea and concept but I mean, there are just so mny bugs, to name a few major ones:

Humvee gunner doesn't work
Can't give soldiers lazer or flamer
After a while searching gave me just jackhammer ammo
Upgrade wall icon/button disapeared
Upgrading wall fixes it

Many more. Also it requires no skill, and is boring after five minutes as all you down is hold down fire

Has potential....

But sadly, the game is very badly balanced.
Even if you search for ammo every single time, you still can run out of ammo, resulting in death. If you for example has infinite ammo atleast wiith the rifle, the game would be possible to finish. I tried five times, and every time i ran out of ammo. Its poorly balanced, and it ruins otherwise good game. Sometimes you get lots of weapons, but you dont get any ammo.
Also the lack of story doesnt help, and enemies could have more variety, but none of these are really large issues. The poor balancing kills the game for me.
