Reviews for "Arm of Revenge"
Great idea, terrible execution
The game itself is amazing. Mechanics work almost flawlessly, graphics are great, and sound works for the game. However, here are the flaws:
1) Combos: The whole idea of a combo is to stun the enemy so you can keep hitting them. Past level three, however, I had enemies breaking out of the combo-stun and hitting me back, ruining my combo streak
2) Upgrade system: Too freaking slow. The prices for upgrades make it so that you have to play 2 or 3 days in a row in order to unlock all the "free" upgrades. Also, the upgrades you need to beat hard mode for were just ridiculous. Easy mode was a pain to beat, I can't even imagine what hard would be. Which brings me to the next criticism:
3) Difficulty: The bosses weren't too bad until I got to the giant robot. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to beat him without buying the green health boosters. However, the last boss was the last straw. He was almost pathetically easy to beat in the first stage, and when he rages he's able to take 3/4 of your almost fully upgraded life bar away with one attack. Seriously? Doesn't even give you time to go to the store and buy your green goo.
Overall, this game needs more work. It's not fun if you have to be an expert gamer in order to beat the game. I enjoy the challenge, I'm from the 80s generation of gamers, but this game takes me back to the unbeatable era of gaming
Pretty good
I enjoyed The Metal Slug feeling of the game and it felt really nice to play for a bit. The dialog was a bit of a problem, not that it moved to slow or to fast at times, it's just that it feels like it was translated over from another language by Google.
The upgrades were a hassle to get, due to the fact that you get very little exp from enemies, even boss ones. Luckily there were those secrete exp spots I found around.
The story seemed okay, I would've enjoyed it if it were better written, but that's fine.
Overall the game play itself was great with the movement and attacks. It definitely felt like an arcade game.
Keep up the good work.
Fun, to a point...
One thing, grind grind Grind Grind GRIND!!! Yea, this pretty much sums it up. Max out your HP! Maxing your MP is both good and bad... good that you have more mp, bad that it takes longer to reach reserves. Max the number of reserves you can get. Max the number of ground hits you can do and learn Fury Punch & Turn Kick, you won't regret, they will save your life! again... GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND!!!
The fatblob guy is tough at first, but he's nothing compared to TX3000 ... I hate that robot, I wasted so many exp to boost my health back because it goes unphased even when hit in rage mode... not to mention, it powers up a bit around 1/2 HP remaining. This bot is just to prepare you for Bloody Fox ... the guy is tough when he's just regular, but as soon as you beat him... he POWERS UP!!! Becoming 2x-3x faster and definitely more damaging. This is all while on EASY ... AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO KEEP GETTING POTIONS BECAUSE THEY INCREASE IN EXP COST EACH TIME YOU GET THEM!
I'll take a look and hope that Tips & Tricks gives me some really good ideas... but I don't see it happening. Block, get hit til the block breaks, block again, (rage mode) Bloody Fox warps behind you & slashes you to death... on Easy. >.<
P.S. I hate having to buy the Arm Blade again and again each time I close outta the game. AND the worst about the skills the learn, is that they don't say if they will use up MP ... I hate that!
game is fun
but its unfair in so many lvls, its beatable but to frustrating.
and not the good kind, the kind that keeps you mad enough to want to win.
the boss fights.. the bosses are hard enough because they take a shit load of HP with 1 skill, but the normal guys, won't let you atk. i can't count how many times i died because i got a knife in the back of the head and the boss just finished me.
the fact that they get up and immediately start to combo, thats just wrong, i guess you were trying to make it hard to Spam, but if its that you want, don't make the guys do so much damage. one time, i got lost an entire hp bar with 1 combo from the guys:
no one there, a big guy comes and charges me, wille i'm on the air i got shot by the robots and landed on a land mine. dead. just like that.
you wanted to make a great game so much that you made a Silver surfer (nes) kind of game, to annoying and frustrating to keep us hooked
