Reviews for "Cardinal Quest"
Almost Perfect
You should Be Able to keep your stuff, on inventory or Spells atleast And the Level Keeping spells and level would be AN AMAZING improvement and would increase Replayavility Incredibly high since you dont have that Lost Hope feeling and just quit after doing so much
Challenging!
OK i did beat the game as a rogue and have to say it's pretty damn hard.
But not to hard, it's challeging with some balance flaws.
Money seems pretty useless to me, make it that you can buy (expensive) potions or gain an extra life when hitting 50 or so..
Random spells are alright but some are so powerful (Charm, multi Fireball/Sneak) that spells like Freeze, Bless Weapon and Stoneskin loose their value.
Also you should check the item switch system because often my weapon was exchanged for a worse version of another one just because of ONE statpoint.
And as the last point i would like to see bosses for every level. The minotaur at the end was very very disappointing but it would be cool to have something like that for every level of the dungeon (maybe in a special room so he doesn't charge at you all of the sudden).
Some tips for other rogues:
- In the elemental stage use Stealth before open doors so they don't shoot you at sight.
- Survival is crucial so use skills like Stealth, Charm, Decoy, etc. to run away if you enter a room with multiple monsters. Luring them out is way easier than facing them directly.
- Backstabbing enemies is powerful but later enemies like werewolves or minotaurs are very strong so using Charm to let them fight against each other works better.
- The last "boss" is way to strong, even for sneak attacks since his counterstrikes will kill you at low health. Do it the simple way:
ummon a Decoy, use Sleep on the boss and let your copy do the work. It takes some time but he will fall.

Cool game, cool graphics, cool Music! But, the enemies are stronge...
This game is pretty good for what it is. Its just little bit too hard with 2 lives and no more chances though
