Reviews for "Forever Samurai"

Cool but problematic

After a couple miniutes of play, WASD stopped working for some reason. Is this because I'm using Opera? Love the slashins stuff, and like the guy before me said it really plays better with a tablet. Loved what little I saw of the 3d animations.

acrazycanadian responds:

Never used Opera so I can't say. Cool to hear people are trying tablets, I thought it might be fun like that.

Now this, this is a game right here

Great use of the mouse and the juggling system is fun! cool level up system as well. . The game seems spastic at times, and sometimes I lose my character for whatever reason. Thankfully the AI isnt completely braindead, the enemies attempt to block your attacks, forcing you to try different slashes to get the job done.

if anyone has a Drawing Tablet I suggest using it.

great work

acrazycanadian responds:

In hindsight, I should have put in more blocking/evasion for the basic enemies, it worked really well on the Tengu. Ah well, there's plenty of options for a sequel.

Fluid, fast and fun!

Awesome game, the graphics were nice and it ran perfectly (for me at least), loved the controls and variety of enemies too!

However, when I got to the final boss I managed to kill him without him even attacking me, I just kept doing the uppercut attack and he kept turning backwards and forwards unable to target ne

But that was the ONLY thing that wasn't perfect about this game, great job!

acrazycanadian responds:

Interesting strategy, I did not think of that. Good job on the sploits ;)

HOLY MOTHER OF LAG!

the 3D definitely takes it's toll on the game speed. i click a few times and im attacking for a few minutes. the lag even manages to cancel out special moves. yet for some reason the lag doesn't affect the enemies. and the sumo dudes? unkillable! and unless you're extremely lucky, it WILL pin you against a wall and kill you many times in a row.

Flaws aside, this is an excellent game. even though it WAS very frustrating, it still managed to keep me hooked for more playthroughs. the artstyle is nice, and the combat system is fun.

to summarize, Awesome game, but a few major flaws prevent it form being really great.

acrazycanadian responds:

Well, it's cool to know you can enjoy it even through lag. I hope one day you can play it on a faster system, and really get to see how it flows.

Nice

It probably gave me arthritis, but it was fun to play. The 3d effects were good and it was so fast paced I found it hard to keep track of at points. The enemies were original as far as I know and had good differentiation when it came to attacks and movement. Overall a good game that lived up to the stereotypical over the top samurai that we all know and love. Also, excellent job on the architecture of the castles. The one problem was the strange color swaps after dying and the spirits floating about were somewhat disorienting and distracted from the real action. Overall the work and time put into this really shows, and it has a good replay value, can't wait to max out the protagonist.
