Reviews for "Defender'sQuest (big)demo"

Hm...

It seems well thought out and established, potentially a great flash game actually. However, the art style doesn't really match the atmosphere of the game in my opinion. For a demo it did good so I expect the finalized version to do great.

Really good game

I see a lot of art that is similar in style to your characters as they appear in the cutscene/movies, so that's the only area I would improve on. A little more character style variety would be nice, if you're only going to have one character style per type (all berserkers look the same, for instance) then open up the color wheel so you can choose any color for hair, skin, etc. I had to grind for 5+ levels to get the 21st gold star, though this wouldn't have been as tedious if I was playing to full game instead of the demo. The best xp fight was the 6th island, extreme ranking, played ad nauseum until I could get my mains up to level 15.

When I saw the description saying the game was a hybrid of RPG and Tower Defense, I was curious.
I was surprised about how enjoyable the game was. This game convinced me to give the TD genre another chance.

Great story and progression but the actual gameplay is quite boring. Whether you can beat a mission depends much more on your hero levels and equipment than on strategy or skill.

The price is a joke, right?

The gameplay seems cool although I did not get very far.

My gripe is with the pricing for the art style. It's very amateur. The style reminds me of freeware indie games like "Neophyte." The problem is that games like those were from the late 90s. There is no reason for UI and art style like this to be packaged with a game that is being sold for $7 bucks at a discount of $5. The gameplay may be great, but I really think you should work more on the visuals before expecting so much money for a FLASH game. For that price, you could purchase at least 3 iOS/Android games that are designed by professional teams and look beautiful.

Don't get me wrong, the gameplay seems cool and innovative at all. I just think the presentation and artwork need work. For example, from the looks of it the sprites have just one extra color of shading, and the rest are just single-color fills. The poses are sloppy and the cutscene art (while the scenes themselves are cool) are very amateur.

Even the UI is very "basic" and looks like it was just quickly done.

Sorry, for the amount you want for this game, I would expect you to have at least hired somebody to do better art. I would not have this concern if this were free or a buck.
