Woo! Beat it in 3 Generations!
I have to say, I found it very engaging. I was always doing something, and I enjoyed the idea that you were a new generation constantly trying to avenge your past generations! I do wish there was a bit more variety, something to keep the fun of it all going with each generation, as every joust is the same - with the exception of their armor being tougher, and their hits hitting harder. But all in all this was a very fun game.
Improved
This game has had some definite changes since I first played it on Armor Games. The AI seems to respond better to the player, which adds a bit of challenge that it was previously lacking. I found that in the original version, it was extremely easy to dupe the computer by going to the extreme bottom-right to lure his shield away, then quickly going up to hit him in the head... it worked almost every time. I'm glad to see that has been changed.
I think my main complaint is the fact that EXP can only be earned with new items; this means that if the player has mastered items but can't afford new ones, he can't level up until he earns more money. Until this game I had never played a game that essentially forced the player to buy the ability to level up. Another problem with this EXP system is that if a piece of equipment is close to mastery, say it has maybe 190/200 points, although the game says "+60 EXP," the player only gets credit for the EXP left until the item is mastered; either credit should be given for the displayed amount of EXP, or the displayed amount should be changed.
Regardless, an overall enjoyable game, although it gets a bit monotonous trying to grind out enough money for the best horse. When I got it on Armor Games, I think I had gotten to generation 6 or 7, and I'm really not looking forward to doing it again. It would be nice to have a bit of replayability.
fun
but way too easy, by the second generation you can become champion and once you do the game is over with most of the upgrades being useless.
Great but.....
Why did I start out on level 5
fun
a little too hard but it sure is addicting
