It's cruel if you take the peaceful route, but i don't know about the violent one.
Reviews for "Lucas's Quest Backwards"
This was a fun game to play, and I enjoyed the retro pixelated graphics. What really made this game interesting was the unique back story that you added in. It made all the difference in the world adding a depth that stimulates the imagination. That's what I miss about the games of old.
Anyway, great game and I hope to see more from you guys in the near future!
All though their is a lot of games like this on newgrounds i think this is one of the better ones. The platforming was hard because of good level design rather than glitchy controls or that one obnoxiously difficult jump. The story was decent and I liked how it didn't take itself too seriously. Overall good game.
I did like the fact there were checkpoints, those lasers got annoying (but made me more determined). The story was good and flowed well, plus I liked the option to use violence or not. Overall, pretty good game.
Cool game, but gets boring. still cool though :P
