The Meridian Dance

Share Collapse

Author Comments

In the land of Meridia many legends have been told surrounding the crystal of earth, water, fire, and air by the people of the land. Some of the tales have claimed the ancient draykmas people were able to ascend to the heights of power by capturing the crystals, while another speaks of the loss of the crystal spelling the doom of the mermaid people, however throughout all of these tales one things is known by all, young and old.


The crystals must be protected at all costs.


In this current era two forces are attempting to capture the crystals for their own nefarious means, however there are those who shall soon rise to face them down in an epic battle which shake the very world.


This is the tale which will become known as the Meridian Dance.

i love this game! keep up the good work dude!

epic

Soul stat seems super random...Increases and decreases totally unpredictably...finish one fight with 12 or so, next fight I suddenly only have 8, during the fight it increases by 1 (I dunno why) and next fight it is at 20ish, just to fall back for the fight after that again...without me ever using a drake power. Is SO weird, I don't understand the mechanics

Main issue is playability I think, too slow overall, very little customisation too.The storyline is good though, personally I dislike the characters but that doesn't mean it's not well made. Art style is good too, I'd recommend increasing the walking speed, it's a bit tedious. I'd suggest you find another engine, anyways I hope you are encouraged to keep going!.

Its a fun game but the frequency of random encounters is way too high, in the dying forest when looking for statues i cant go 20 steps without an encounter making it kind of frustrating. also i would be nice to have a way to keep track of quests.
