Reviews for "APOKALYX"

Broken, and kinda boring

I would have more to say about this game, however every time I select a special power, the game freezes. Mashing the attack button seems to be the only way to kill guys, and it takes 2-3 attacks just to hit someone, (times about 10 hits). I gave my guy very high dexterity and it is very rare he is ever hit. So all I do is sit here hitting the "repeat" button over and over again until the match is over.

it's ok.

but the fight with sevrak need to be fixed because all he dose is spam that stun attack.

Ugh.

In all honesty, this was one of the most out-of-my-skull boring RPGs I've ever played, as I found absolutely nothing that gave it any ground besides the graphics.

Before I move on, I'll get the one thing redeeming about this game out of the way: The graphics. They are amazing. Some of the best graphics in a flash game I've ever seen in any flash games. However,

This does not save it. The gameplay has absolutely nothing original, interesting, or fun about it. I abhor most point-and-click RPGs, Sonny being a rare case, by being nothing more than grind fests of limited enjoyment, and this is no different. Mentioning Sonny, the combat is exactly the same as it is in the Sonny games, except not anywhere near as fun. In Sonny, the fun is made from the fact that the grinding is fun, due to a solid form of combat and fun abilities. Here, it's taking that and removing anything enjoyable from it, with very little passive abilities, which are crucial to some play styles. The battles themselves are long an tedious, with absolutely no enjoyment received during their duration. Not to mention that the looting structure is absolutely horrid. The idea of one item from their equipment and nothing else is, with all reason and thought considered, idiotic. The RPG element is also confusing and ill-structured, in that the points seem to change their values from character creation to level up.

As for the setting, described as a post-apocalyptic world, it is confusing, pointless, stupid, and outright mediocre. Describing that some people survived a nuclear apocalypse by being 'strong' is outright stupid. Whoever wrote the unpublished book that inspired this was an idiot. Radiation, in that strong an amount, kills people. It doesn't matter how physically and/or mentally strong they were, radiation would have killed them anyways. You CAN'T adapt to radiation. And the idea of the apocalypse's cause being unknown is stupid, in that if anyone survived, which they obviously did, they'd write what it was down and the cause would be known. Also, the story, while I didn't finish the game, didn't give em any comfort. 'Chosen ones' and 'prophecies' aren't exactly the sign of a good story.

All in all, it was a valiant effort, but it ultimately fell short. If you really want a post-apocalyptic RPG, get a copy of Fallout.

Oh, and before I go: 'APOKALYX'? Seriously? I've seen five-year-olds with more creativity than that.

When I Want To Use Special Powers The Game Freezes, Still Owns :D

The beginning had me, but then.....

You could seriously be employed by a gaming company. Because the beginning of the game and the layout of the story had me hooked. But I just didn't like how the game was played so slow paced and kind of boring.
Still, the art and the story in the beginning were fantastic.
