Reviews for "Scarlet Stranger"

So basicly

this is the sequal story of 'Help The Hero'. I like how the tables are turned now. The manservant is now hero and the hero became a villain.

Other than that i got stuck after jumping on a certain box, can't tell which one it was. Solution (for now) just press 'p' followed by quit and than titlescreen. At titlescreen press 'enter' again to restart at last savepoint.

Personally i can't seem to understand how to craft that ring. Well, i'll keep trying.

Good, but has a few bugs

Got stuck into the first room after hitting a chest and a help sign at the same time and didn't get a bronze key because of that. I jumped on the chest, jumped on the wall, walked on the bronze door and into the next room where i got stuck in the second room. I could move over everything, couldn't hit monsters or leave the room again.

cursed ring sold

but my max money is 999, so I can't buy it again =(

Too many flaws

This is a good game overall. You already have full points for graphics, gameplay and playability. The game flows really well, and it isn't boring to play. There are enough enemies, and they were quite original.

There are lots of things I didn't like about this game though. First of all: the random-dungeon-generator was nice, but way too random. By that I mean that things like shops, difficulty of rooms and stuff wasn't based on how far you got in the game. I wasn't very lucky the first time I played it. I stumbled across three shops in the first five rooms I entered, and didn't see one in the about thirty rooms afterwards. Because of this I had to walk back and forth for a minute of four through rooms I've all seen three times before.
Due to the random nature, some rooms returned a few times in one game, making the already easy levels far too easy.

The battling system was nice, but since the rooms didn't get much more difficult the farther I got into the game, I hardly got hit in the last 10 to 15 rooms. Once you have one of the best weapons, no enemy can hit you faster than you heal it back with all the hearts you get for them.

Do some more with the crafting system! If you have some gold, silver, iron or anything left it often isn't useful at all to sell them. You only get 5 money for a piece of gold! I had hoped for a weapon, shield or amulet upgrade system for that. It's just perfect for it! Make two golds and a staff shoot some magic, or something like that. There must be some nice combinations you can come up with.

I also noticed some bugs:

- Sometimes you get stuck on water if you jump from a high position. For example in the field where you make the jump to the boss fight.
- If you start the game over, the question marks are in the wrong places, most of them even out of the map.
- I also noticed that sometimes the arrows from the shooters point to the wrong direction.
- And of course, the whole game not ending. I only got this while wearing the cursed ring, but still.

The game is nice, but just not diverse and flawless enough to have a golden submission IMO.

Review request club.

Was really enjoying the game until...

.....my character jumped from a stage to the top of a chest and totally got stuck there,..couldn't jump of or anything but swing aimlessly. Game needs some serious fixes.
