Reviews for "Abyss Walker"

Mortal Kombat?

The game itself is OK. It has some design flaws like the "I pushed a box and now I'm stuck" stuff. The Sensei takes too long to talk. The game needs a key to make all the text appear WITHOUT making it skip to the next duologue box.
As for the actual plot...This game's knowledge about ninjas seems to stem solely from Mortal Kombat. It's extremely western and reminds me of anime fangirls screaming in horribly accented Japanese(such as saying Kawaii in normal speach).
There does not seems to be any research into the subject of Ninja, Ninpo or Ninjutsu in this game so I might as well provide the answers it needs.
Sword Mastery = Kenjutsu.
Chakra is just flat out incorrect. Mana = Chakra. The weapon is called a Chakram with an "M". It's an Indian weapon, not a Japanese one.
The "spear" is actually a Kunai connected to a rope. That is not typical Ninja gear. Ninja's typically used a similar weapon called a Kusarigama. Same thing except it's a sickle instead of a kunai.
The "traps" are called Makibishi.

Also, "This skill is only available IN version on ___ website." Needs better grammar. Proofreading can vastly improve the quality of anything.

mrDN responds:

Thanks for the review, but try not be too serious about ninjas ;) Not all gamers know that Sword Mastery = Kenjutsu or what is Kusarigama or Makibishi. It's not a manual "how to become true shinobi", its just a small joke game. Have fun!

Controls are an issue.

Bland platforming mixed with wonky jumping controls mixed with an unnecessary XP and level system mixed with useless skills (Hiding doesn't do a damn thing!). Congratulations! You've made the most needlessly frustration game about ninjas on the front page!

How did you mess up this concept? A ninja RPG should have been awesome with equal parts sneaky-shadow-disguisey-stealth and stabby-slashy-bloodfountainy-combat fun. Instead, you gave us a half-hearted platformer with unneeded RPG elements without including any of the RP aspect of an RPG. Seriously? Try again and this time don't make it suck.

blah

to start you cant sneak past anyone at all so your basically running thro level just jumping or trying to fight everyone which just doesnt really happen. game is bad

Damn controls

I'm already stuck on the 2nd level because of crates. Why I can't move them while jumping? Restarting level is too boring.

Very bad controls

The number keys don't work. Fix it.
