Fantastic
Freakin' enthralling game here. This is probably my favorite game graphics-animations wise that I've seen in flash, I love the shadowy figures and textures that compliment the well polished, grim backgrounds. Sets a great ominous tone, which then compliments the rather morbid story itself. Animations were flawless. Visuals were overall great!
Superb selection of music- I like how you included tracks with the orchestrated worldly vibes, and spiced up the soundtrack with electronically influenced music as well. Fits like a glove.
Story was decent, not amazing but gripping so far, havent finished the game yet and I'm hoping for not a generic ending.
Beneath the fluff however, the gameplay was mediocre at best- while the learning curve was simple, and the jumping ideas was a nice touch, and it was fun hitting your enemies off edges causing 'em to plummet to their deaths, their wasnt much of a fighting system. You had what? three of four attacks, and enemies (atleast were) I'm at were ridiculously easy to kill. Hack and slash is good, but I would definetly like to see a larger array of moves, like throwing, kicking, and a jumping move where you slam down into your enemy would be great. Maybe even have ninja stars or something that you can throw. The "quick" attack wasnt that quick, as the slashes were a bit lethargic to the point were it was hard to stop in the combos and get a better control over your character. Speaking of control- the running is smooth, but the jumping controls could be improved. It was hard to choose between double jumping and wall jumping, the movement between left and right was quite rigid, making some of the obstacles more frustrating thatn they should be.
But it really wasnt that bad- the audio and visuals were a strong enough saving grace to make this a gem that I will continue to play.
