Reviews for "JUGGERNAUT II: Uprising"

Good game, always enjoy a little RPG now and then.
Of course, the glitches I've seen have already been reported.
But when I save the game, and click "Title Screen", it doesn't register the save, apparently.
This deletes the saved data. I've had to re-do the game, but i haven't beaten Warren yet, so I haven't gotten far.

Anyways, good game. Love the elements you put into it.

TheEnkian responds:

Hmm, that's odd. I haven't heard about that one yet. Noted!

Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for checking it out :)

This was a great game up and to the point were the load game button did not work, not for sure what happened. No cache clean and saved when I left for real life quests. Came back nothing.. So frustrating someday I will come back and possibly restart. But for now I am to butthurt.

Otherwise great game keep it up.

TheEnkian responds:

Ouch, sorry man! That's a real shame.

Edit: Just noticed the medals that you had, you were so close to the end too >.>

I played both eps of Juggernaut I will have to say that there's lot of improvement in this one compared to the previous one. It has good story and dialogues, side quests, better animation and graphics, difficulty and item drop rate is decent (not ridiculous like the first one), buyable items and equipment, and voice acting. You got all the basics of a good SNES/old-fashioned RPG covered, although there are lots of improvements needed to be done IMO.

The first thing that ticks me off is that I have to use both keyboard and mouse. While it might not bother many people, it feels awkward and less smooth for me. It'll be much nicer if I can just use either keyboard or mouse only.

Also, the encounter rate is too high. It is stupid when I can't walk for more than 5-10 secs in peace. Either reduce this or provide us with encounter-decreasing items.

Magics needs some improvement/balancing as well. The elemental spheres, for example, are practically useless. Doesn't deal more than normal attack even on the beginning, and damage doesn't scale. Same thing goes to other magics and heal. I'd rather use a pot than a 57hp heal.

Equipments are scarce. There are only weapons available, and they don't give any bonuses or anything except for extra damage. It suits the game because there's no stats system, but if you want to make it that simple, additions of armor(s) and/or accessory(ies) will be much appreciated.

Lastly, the levels and towns feels a bit empty. I'm not even sure how to explain it clearly, but try to make the towns smaller in size or make the houses larger, or both? More texture and terrain variation on the floor might help as well.

All in all, this is a nice game but still have lots of places for improvement. As I have said before ,you got all the basic needs covered. I'm looking forward for ep 3.

TheEnkian responds:

Thanks, I'm glad that you thought this was a big progression from the last one. Fair enough comment about the dual keyboard/mouse thing, it's definitely something to think about for JUGGERNAUT III. I'm not certain if we'll do it like this or not, but I'm considering the idea of having enemies appear on the overworld rather than random encounters. It'll be a little more work graphically, but if it improves the game enough, it could be very much worth it.

The spheres actually inflict status effects so they can be very useful even late in the game. The mistake was not making it more obvious that that's most of what their purpose is. The skills and spells will definitely be overhauled though, they'll have more impact and grow a lot more through the game than just having to rely on basic attacks and one or two skills.

I think we might go slightly back to the way of JUGGERNAUT I and have accessories in the game, possibly armour, but I don't know at the moment. I'm not sure if that'll be down to crafting or found in chests and shops yet.

I actually mentioned that in response to another review. Although there are plenty of houses and NPCs in town, the areas themselves lack character. I think it's at least partially a graphical issue, having more detailed graphics can make the houses look bigger and stand out more, a few more people running around actively could help too as well as various things littering the town like crates, barrels, flower pots, etc.

Thanks for the in depth review, hopefully JUGGERNAUT III can really deliver on all of this stuff :)

An excellent rpg game. 5 stars

But i got three doubts

- I don't find where's the masked stranger, as i see is a secret medal but i don't if it is a boss , a quest , a npc. I've been through every villages,plains ,yidakna's hall , all rooms of deserted castle.

- I have only one quest remainding but i couldn't even found it the quest i have are:
Story Quests:
- Find Dagon
- Reach Mount Fartha
- The Juggernaut of Shadow
- Reach Kanneah
- Lea's Money
- Reach the Deserted Castle
- Juggernaut of Wind

Side Quests:
- Grain for Vark
- Teardrops in the Forest
- Scattered Possessions
- Capaka Root
- Lost in the Tunnels
- [??????????????Quest i'm missing??????????????]
- Save a Life
- Defeat a Coldpod
- Defeat a Super Shinybug
- Defeat a White Bloodbat.

-What's is the level and requirements to become they Super.
Example: Super Aura - Super Kyte - Super Lea...

And excellent game better than the first version.

TheEnkian responds:

The Masked Stranger appears in the Mehrain Inn when you're near the end of the main quests. The next quest is a girl who appears in Rondo after the Yidakna quest. The levels required are 25 to get the Super Medals. It's the maximum levels for characters in the game, enemies can go higher though in New Game+

Very glad you enjoyed it!

Hi, I can play Juggernaut 1 but Juggernaut 2 isn't starting. When I push "play" just a white screen appears and nothing happens.
Can anybody help me with this? I already updated adobe Flash but no use. I have no clue what it is.
(hm I will give it 4 stars without having played it :-D ... ;-(

PM MSGhero, he's the programming wizard of the team so he should be the most helpful. Hope it gets fixed for you!
