Reviews for "Vanguard Mercenary"

Kick Ass Game

The story and unique weapons set-up gave this game my 5. This could easily become a TV Show, should you choose to write a pilot.

The only real beef I have with it, is that when you die you go back to the beginning of the dialouge. I just heard it, I don't need to hear it again! And often times I spend more time listening to what I just heard than playing, just because I suck that hard at this game. But nonetheless, you should put the respawn point AFTER the dialouge.

When I launch my site, I plan to release another revision of this game. Due to popular demand, dialogue will be skipped when you respawn. Thanks for your input :)

Decent game.

This is a very good shooter, there's just a few minor problems.
The ship is too unresponsive, it takes too long to fire and aim your weapons, and the manoeuverability is fairly poor.
It's not the easiest of games to get the hang of, the controls aren't natural, but I couldn't see an easier way to set them up. Perhaps an option of setting controls would be nice, that way... if the person disagrees with the controls, they have no one to blame except themselves.
It might have been better if you had an "aim up/down" rather than rotating option, that's my main suggesstion. You know, where the weapon aims at an angle 45 degrees different to normal, Super Metroid on the SNES is a perfect example of what i'm talking about.
If those few minor gripes go ignored, it still remains a great shooter, it looks and sounds brilliant (better then most), and there's lots of different weapons to play with and enemies to kill.

If only the game was easier to control, this would be one of the greatest games on newgrounds.

Great job! You earned my 5/5.

NegativeONE responds:

The unresponsiveness might be related to latency. Try running the game on lower settings to see if it's any better. Also, there actually *was* an option to set up your own control configuration. It was.. in the Options menu 0_0. Someone else suggested the Super Metroid thing too. It's actually a pretty good idea. Come to think of it, though, a few of the things you said sounded strikingly familiar, but maybe my brain's just playing tricks.
Thanks for your review.

einhander

very similair to einhander good too oh the loop is annoying for sound

NegativeONE responds:

Einhander was my inspiration for this game, so I'm glad that comparison was made. Sorry you found the sound annoying. I did use 4 different loops though.

AWSOME!!!

Best agme ever!! I like the animation at the start!!! XD

Good, but could have been better

The voices were terrible, the volume was too low, and the graphics weren't very good, the game itself was great though.
