Reviews for "Cardinal Quest"

Good game. Here are my pointers for great

Naturally this is my opinion so naturally it is subjective.

I am a fan of "per turn" games and I think you did a great job here. So lets say that you do not really need to improve the concept when you do the second one (hopefully you will). However once you get a successful strategy with your character you need nothing else to win the game, independent of which creature you are fighting. A couple of creatures with different attributes (such as resists, etc) would have forced me to come up with different strategies depending on the arrangement of the enemies throughout the dungeon.

The last level was rather disappointing since it had no real boss, and most enemies were distributed one per room, which made it rather easy. I also found the game short which is a good sign in the sense that it leaves you wanting more, but still adding to the disappointment.

Also I would like to point out that I disagree with your classification of who is the easiest character: the fighter definitely did not work for me; the wizard for some reason leveled really slowly in comparison (I think it is associated with the fact that I killed most creatures with an opening fireball... I don't know if that makes a difference but you should look into it). The one that you said would be the most challenging turned out to be the easiest for me, i.e. the thief. Comparing with other reviews below it seems that the one which is the easiest to use is merely a matter of taste and gameplay, which again makes your game a successful one for allowing disparity in character preference.
So, I look forward to number 2 and hopefully it will be even better.

Reminds me of Nethack

Reminds me alot of Nethack, it's decent

This is going on the favorites list!

but man I got like 10 minutes in still figuring out the controls and i died only to discover there was no save option... :( if you had a save on this game it would be soooooooooooooo ooooo awesome!

its ok

its a allright game but still fun

This game is interesting, but a bunch of flaws stick out:

1. The game is too short. It's hard, it took me a while to beat, but it's still too short.
2. I don't know what the coins were for. I beat the game before the coins did anything useful.
3. The game doesn't give you much potions in the second half of the game, that's really problematic
4. The elementals are ESPECIALLY hard to deal with. Dealing with three of them meant almost certain death for my character.
