Reviews for "Ge.ne.sis"
wow
i like it i thought the giant bean was easy.. but everyones different. i really like the game cause it reminds me of final fantasy tactics A2
Hah
I sure do love it when there is an awkward silence while I am playing games. No music, no inspiration, shitty generic anime styling. However, the voice acting was good.
Paradox.
Yes, it seems I've walked into a paradox of time and space, newgrounds is all messed up, games that look crap from the front page aren't, and games that look good are crap.
Sorry but yours was closer to the latter, it started off looking great, and I LURVEE the chick character (reminds me of someone I know) but the combat system made me regret it. I've never really liked the square tiles turn based thing (even though I've got nothing agaisn't it) but this one was bad simply because of the way you tried to get turn based combat into it. there was a VERY limited move selection, leaving it not up to stragety, or skill, but just trying to go along with the the energy bar or whatever. When I got to the first boss with the giant bean (a nice touch I might add) I killed his minions lost the chick and kept on fighting, which is how it should be. But my lack of a 3rd character meant that everytime I attacked the giant bean it healed itself, and unless i was using trigger happy it healed itself more than i could hurt it, making my attempts to kill it pointless. By the end i was getting really close, somehow and was just about to kill it, when i got killed. I still had my summon left but aparently even though it stayed on after the chick left, it DIDNT COUNT.
This may be the longest review I've ever done.
Overall:
story 10/10
graphics 8/10
gameplay 2/10
Professional scripting, amatuer scenarios.
It goes without saying that the game's scripting is far above what I would expect on Newgrounds (no offense to others). However, the combat system alone isn't worth having to listen to the dialogue. It's not that the voice actors are bad... it's that the lines they speak are as appealing as a bad fan-fic.
Aside from the lack of artistic inspiration, the sounds are appropriate, the graphics, though they seem a bit disjointed (Main character face vs. 1st Summon face), are certainly acceptable, and the combat, as a whole, is impressive.
Some improvements are needed, but with your technical skill, I doubt the lack of them will drag your projects down too much.
