Overall a good game...
The game definately held my interest for a while. But of course there were certain aspects that I feel could be improved upon.
I think the entourage members should have differed from the enemy. I'm referring to the turtles and the ninjas. The overall experience was slightly ruined for me when a member of my team was also a member of the opposition.
I think a new recruitment system may help the game also. Maybe by visiting a variety of small buildings on the map. Each building would have an individual character with various difficulties who would challenge you to a fight in exchange for their "services".
The upgrades were very limited. I think increasing the difficulty, and including more upgrade options would add a lot more depth. Maybe give the player the ability to upgrade the weapons and stats of their entourage as well.
Allowing upgrades and items to be bought in between battles would be a nice addition too. I was often left frustrated that i wasn't able to do so, ended up dying and then had to go through each battle again.
On the dying front. Being sent to the map once Victor died, despite having 2 other fully functioning entourage members, ground my gears a little. Especially when i couldn't sub out Victor prior to the next battle.
Despite these nuances i thought it was a very strong effort. The animation was nice, the characters were great, the music was good and the overall idea was a sound one. The sfx could get tedious at times.... but i could live with them.
