Reviews for "Salem"
I find the game rather enjoyable, I've only got one issue, and i don't know if it's the game or an issue with my computer, but anytime I hold down a WASD button to move the game severely lags mouse movement, This aside It's still very fun, but i can't waste time on those battles when the sequence of movements is so horribly lagged out that i can't possible complete the symbol before time runs out DX
Great game, Great story and amazing replay value. Can't wait for a sequel.
3.5 for the incredible graphics, everything was fine up until the first boss, I depleted his life bar completely yet he WOULD NOT DIE!! why? Do I need to finish him off in some special way? also the fact that you HAVE to hit him in the face or else he'll likely hit you before you can move away is very frustrating. oh yeah, the dive attack was annoyingly cheap because if you had just got done missing a shot then you had no way of avoiding it, so...that added a few obscenities to be spat at my computer. But my big point is that the boss is seemingly immortal, unless he's got a secret hidden life bar i don't know about
Great game, had a lot of fun playing it. Looking forward to the sequel!
To those who are getting stuck at the door near the beginning part of the game, here's how you solve the puzzle:
- You've probably noticed the possessed monster under the stairs trying to follow you around, so what you do is lead it backwards towards the door of where you came from. When the monster has walked far enough, it will activate a switch opening the door. Now to keep the monster on the switch, use the lantern to stun it and you will have enough time to run pass the door. Be prepared for your first boss fight.
The bosses in this game are relatively straightforward and not difficult to figure out their patterns. But here is a little boss guide anyways for those who might need it:
1st Boss:
- Pretty simple, stun him using the lantern and then shoot him for lots of damage. Be careful of the spikes that it shoots out. You pretty much just rinse and repeat until he runs out of life. Then you use the lantern to draw the pentagram on it to finally kill it. When it goes out of sight, avoid the white light that pops up below you.
2nd Boss:
- This guy will shoot acid shots out of its mouth and the best way to dodge it is to duck. It will usually only shoot three shots at once. Then it will open its mouth and you will see an eye-tongue looking thing. Use the lantern on it and shoot it. You can also shoot the boss anytime you like just to deal some damage and push him back a bit, but just be careful about it. He also has a sucking attack which will try to suck you into its mouth. Just run in the opposite direction when this happens. When it's low on health, it will become a bit more aggressive and try to corner you into the wall. Just stay aware and look for your opportunity to attack.
3rd Boss:
- I had to die a couple times to this guy before I finally figured out that you need to kill it before that middle eye opens or else it's instant death to the laser. I recommend killing the bottom eye first so that it can't summon any possessed monsters. When trying to kill the bottom eye, don't even bother wasting your lantern to disable the top eye. Just use the lantern to stun the bottom eye and then shoot it. The orbs that the eyes shoot are always duckable. Jump up to the platforms to recharge your lantern whenever necessary but be quick about it. Once you kill the bottom eye the top eye should be really easy to take out. Once both the eyes are dead, draw the pentagram on the middle eye and then shoot it.
4th Boss:
- The only way to kill Zipp is to stall him out. Run from all of his attacks, as you can't deal damage to him. If he teleports in front of you, just run the opposite direction. Whatever you do, just don't stop running. Once you do this long enough, a cutscene will occur allowing you to draw a pentagram on Zipp and "kill" him.
Final Boss:
- Might be confusing at first but really easy to understand the pattern. The two blinking things on the sides of the screen can produce those demon blue bird things when you shoot it. Then use the lantern to kill the birds and recharge your lantern. You need to do this every so often so don't forget. The thing you need to hit is that weird looking spike thing on top of the screen. There is no special effect with the lantern on it, so just shoot it. It will occasionally produce a shield preventing all damage, so just wait it out. Attacks will come from the sides of the screen and you can tell which side it will be from the red blinking light. The monster will also sometimes fire a laser across the screen which you have to duck. You can tell when it is going to shoot the laser when it closes its mouth. You will sometimes see purple light coming from the ground. When that happens jump towards one of the platforms on either side of the screen to dodge the pool of acid or something. Deplete the boss' health, draw the pentagram and beat the game.
