overall, it is a solid game, but there are a few things i personally did not like. in some cases, there was no escape, take a fireball/arrow or pit. another point was the delay in leveling up. there where many cases where i leveled and received a lethal blow within a second of each other, naturally, the game counts that as a death. the star power was a nice touch, only complaint is the timing of it at times (i understand it is random) there where times i would get the star, and not a single target for the entire run, others (which i liked) there where a ton of targets to mow through. next point was the "dodge" skill, i never figured out what that was for... it was odd that failure did not come with a price, meaning, i could charge in, kill till i dropped and walk away with all my coins, made upgrade a touch too easy. last note: a story, running to save the princess, running away from the evil oppressive overlord.... ok, enough complaining, time for the positive side. loved the retro feel of the game with the various sprites, added a little depth to the gameplay. the music helped with the feel also of the game. good solid game, with a few tweaks here and there (like longer and adding different weapons) this game would be a game i would return to long after playing it. thank you for reading my rant and hope this directs you to making even better games!
Reviews for "Eastward Quest"
Thanks for your feedback.
The game is alright, but shouldn't you get more invincibility time when you acquire two stars in a row? I accomplished this and the amount of time never changed.
Do not even read haters comment.... keep the good work and make oter game good as this one! NICE JOB MAN!
Mediocre
Playing a good game and playing a bad game felt no different - there is no incentive to fight the enemies since combat is so uninvolved and unsatisfying, the graphics add no charm to the game and instead give a vibe of laziness and a desperate attempt to appeal to the 'OMG SO LE RETRO LOLOLOL XDD!!!' crowd pervading the internet as of late.
1/5 apply yourself.
Thanks! ^^
It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a runner game this much. The music was entertaining, the graphics reminded me of the SNES era, and I felt that I NEEDED to finish the game so the little hero wouldn't bawl his eyes out. You made me feel for his little pixelated heart! The ending boss was predictable, but no less fun to slash at. Good job!
