Great up until arena.. and not because of glitches
INB4 useless for low rating. I want to give some constructive criticism.
Well, the final boss in story mode is level 20. Which I found a little odd, considering how you can learn moves up until level 36 was it? And the final level was 40? Unless you play arena where you have to do a few hours of useless grinding (which got pretty dull.) Don't get me wrong, the story was good. But it was incredibly short and frustrating to do nothing but grind in the beginning. The problem being is simple, in the story there is no point to leveling up past 20-23 (at least as I figured as a barbarian, which I played). Once I beat the game and grinded to 40 (hey I said it was good, just that there are problems.) I exported my barbarian on to arena.
I was very disappointed. I was hoping to see arena to be much longer but instead, it was much shorter. Unless you grind like crazy on level 11 boars. Arena led to a disappointing boss fight that became more luck than skill, whom I have yet to beat and to come so close after thousand of stun based hits... and a random 'doom' appears. It be nice if there could be a strategy of some type we know on fighting him.
TL;DR leveling is moot past 20ish, story was to short, to much grinding, arena was disappointing (for me).
In the end, the story, though short, was amazing. I loved it. It was a small bit of newgrounds nostalgia for me. So thank you. You did absolutely amazing, and I want to say this in hopes of the next game that you manage to fix this. I understand that the game is more high end on graphics for a flash, and a tad more complicated... but if you can pull that off, you will have a really good game on your hand. For this kind of game, you need to be able to reach the max level not just for the final boss. Thank you for your time.
