Crap.
It might be good if expanded into an actual game, persay. Here are my problems.
1. The black thing around your character.
2. You don't die when you run out of health
3. You have a text box thing for no purpose. This isn't online.
4. All the enemies are the same.
5. The combat system is bland.
6. You can't choose a name and it tells you that you haven't done so.
7. The music is bleck.
Sorry Man
This game represented Nexus in no way
Sure the graphic were from it but...
It is just a no man no...
Slow and Monotonous
Maybe the full game will be great, but there's not enough here to tell. This seems to be nothing more than a test of the basic combat and movement engines. Which is an important part of development, but probably shouldn't have been uploaded to Newgrounds.
The only comments I can make on what little is here is that the movement struck me as annoyingly slow, and just standing next to enemies and holding down the space bar gets boring really fast. Again, maybe the full game, which presumably will have a lot more to it, will be a lot of fun, but I don't think you're doing yourself any favors by making public this bare-bones test thing this early in the production cycle.
umm...
I'll be honest, I didn't play it for long. The graphics weren't bad but they weren't anything special. The sound quality was bad, kinda sounded a little funky. It started out with no story and the controls didn't react very well at all.
To be honest the last two are why I couldn't stand to play any longer than killing the first ogre. That's not to say that it didn't have potential, just that it needs a lot of work. I know it's not finished, but I never could get into the demos I played for a lot of console games without some sort of storyline to catch my interest.
On to the controls, it was simply that it didn't react well to pressing buttons. I would press down and then try to turn right and he would keep going down or just stop. I don't know what was wrong, but I hope that my rambling helped some. Good luck with future projects.
Oh dear...
You don't die at 0 health.
There is no story line.
You can't edit your name.
Work on it.
