Reviews for "Shadow Arts"

Magic shouldn't be autorotated in unless both 2swords and spear&shield has run out, since the magic defensive move doesn't cancel attacks.

Also, there isn't really any point in making the light attacks/heavy attacks distinction.

The controls would be simpler if you made "Z = attack" and "X = defend" "<left> = spear&shield" "<down> =magic" "<right> = 2swords"

Is the shield supposed to block both hammer strikes? You never EXPLICITLY answered.

I'm rating this 3, because while the ideas were good, the game is is only combat, and the combat mechanics aren't very polished. (sure, there is a story, but you see waaay more combat than story)

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, it blocks both hammer attacks, but completely drains your blocking.

would be good, except for 1 thing: the ranged attacks. The green healer showing up in the autorotating attacks gets me killed every time.

Seemed boring to me and very limited.

I really like the mechanic of the game, but I think I ran into some glitches.
- After I beat the second boss and the battle ended, the screen went black. When I reloaded the game and tried to start the story up again, it just took me to the level with no Talia or characters and I had no control over anything except for the menu options. I even tried to go to the campfire through the options and the screen came up black again. This happened twice: once on Newgrounds and a second time on Y8.
- Unless you press something, you will continue to run right after the battle. Is this intentional?
- I tried clicking on the Survival button, but it doesn't work.
- Talia repeats herself in the second level right before the boss with the hammer (she says something about the camp. This line came up earlier on in the level.

There are also other problems that I noticed:
- There is no way for me to reset my save game except for emptying my cookies.
- You offer no way to customize the controls and I really feel like it is necessary for this game or the controls just need to be rearranged because the set up is extremely awkward (how is a player suppose to reach the arrow keys easily during battle if they have to keep their fingers around the IOP keys.
- There is no explanation behind what the upgrades do at the campfire (Does it increase the damage, decrease the consumption on the abilities, or something else?)
- During the second boss battle with the hammer, when I use the shield, it only defends against one hit from the hammer. Is this suppose to happen?

Still, I really like the game and would really like to continue playing it, but can you please address these problems. I look forward to your next game.
