Reviews for "BO: The Secret of Steel"

REALLY REALLY REALLY GD GAME

you deserve a medal for your hard work
i loved the music and the grafix was great
keep up the good work in future. 10/10 5/5 you deserve it

awesome

i love this game the tentacle boss was really easy all you had to do was kill his tentacles and then go do a strong attack on his head. if u do a strong attack it takes 3 hits

Phew

Great game. Sometimes the controls were a little sticky, but it didn't affect it too much, actualy, I think it sort of helped for the rough brabarian thing. The bosses took a couple tries, but as far as I got, they were all beatable. The clone took a while though. Also, after the clone, is there anything else or is it beaten? I'm not seeing any new areas open up or anything, so I'm guessing it's over, but it's a little...anti-climactic. Anyways, great game, keep it up!

10/10
5/5

barbarrific!

this game is just AWESOME, great to kill time... it would b nice if u add more into it, like simple combos, or a mode that 2 people could play on the same PC, or even multiplayer! anyways, nice game

Best Flash Game Boss I've ever fought.

Well, finally. I can rate a GOOD game for once. My other account isn't working so I made a new one. But I'm still going to rate games!

Well, the gameplay was quite interesting, the combination of timing and speed (and button mashing) to defeat bosses. The use of only one key was good for the sword duels, however, it was difficult trying to perform certain actions, like trying to pick up an exploding barrel but hitting it instead. It was very enjoyable.

Graphics-10 The graphics and art were a bit mediocre, but it added to the style of the game, and didn't crash my crappy computer. The amount of blood and gore was actually refreshing. I had been playing Super Mario Galaxy lately, and it is fucking annoying how everything is so goddamn shiny.

Skill Required-10 It did need some skill. The first 6 bosses were too easy to believe. But the final boss, wow. Fantastic job. I was almost sweating blood. Claps for that. But I'll cover the rest of the boss in a second.

Logic Required-6 Well, it wasn't a puzzle game, but it could use a bit more mental prowess. Yes, knowing where to jump to is important so you don't get locked in and raped by several Demon Knights at once, or fall down a pit. However, possibly an addition of a maze level or something would spice it up a bit.

Level Design-8 The levels were similar to many games of this genre. Run around, the are boxes in, kill the enemies, move ahead. Like I said earlier, maybe you could liven the levels up a bit?

Music-10 Even the map music was catchy. Good job, hzlancer. I truly enjoyed the music, especially for the final Boss.

In conclusion...
Well, this was certainly a great game. I wouldn't be surprised if you could create a sequel. The gameplay was simple to learn, but difficult to master. It was also worth noting the way that you opened up each of the areas. A peaceful town flooded to make way for the barbarian, a dragon flying over and melting a glacier, etc. Good game, excellent gameplay (although maybe you could implement more buttons), and an overall treat. But what really made it stand out was...

*Spoiler Warning!*

THE EPIC BOSS!

At first when I saw it, I laughed at the stereotypical bad-guy stance of the boss, and its name. Aggr'RaxRazok'OmgZogKhk, Duke of Hell. But my laughter increased as it sent out its peons, a few swordsmen and some spearmen. I sliced them up simply, but then he threw me back, swung out his enermous mace, and smashed half of my health bar to pieces. Well, in the best way I can, I'll describe my reaction:
"HOLY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!" Then it hit me. Again. Dead. I tried again. Killed the peons, dodged the flail, dodged the huge torrent of fire, and jumped up onto its pedestal. When I tried to hit it with a quick strike, it threw me to the other side of the arena with a simple kick! I tried again, same story. Then I stood there, waited, and without wasting any time, he swung his sword and drained my entire health bar. It was at that moment that I was like, "This guy isn't fucking around." So there he was, with his sword, his flail, his throne of stone, eyeing me with his red eye, and seeming to say, "Welcome to hell. You beat all the pussy levels, now you dare to fight me. I won't waste any time smashing you to pieces. I'll enjoy adding another skull to my belt." This boss is extremely difficult. It wastes no time whatsoever, and all of its moves are lethal or semi-lethal. It doesn't do any evil laugh to expose its weak spot like the bosses of today. No. It's hardcore like the Lost Levels of Super Mario Bros. It's there, it's mean, it's badass, and it wants your blood because you dared to tread on its ground. It was extraordinarily difficult to defeat. If you dare to fight this, make yourself comfortable and soothe your nerves (Caffeine will fuck you up with this fight), and get ready to fight what I believe is the hardest Flash Game boss created. If I am wrong, PM me and let me know who is the most difficult or if you're having any trouble with any of the pathetic bosses, like Grandma or the Dark Clone. Thank you, Gurt and Hazel-grouse. ^_^
