Reviews for "Game & Watch: God of War"

Very enjoyable.

I remember when games used to be like this. I think I still have a few of them around somewhere and this definitely took me back to my youth.

I thought that it was too easy at first, but the difficulty soon picked up. I don't remember the games from my childhood starting out quite as simple as this one started, so perhaps you could make the minotaurs move a little faster at the beginning.

The first time I played this, due to the way the flash was presented with the game and watch on-screen, I thought the only way to move Kratos was to click the buttons with your cursor. It wasn't until I re-read your authors comments (this time paying more attention) that I realised you could use the left and right keys on your keyboard, so perhaps you could include some in-game instructions for those that jump straight in. I'm sure this game would be absolutely amazing for those that have a touch-screen monitor.

In both modes the game seemed to get a lot easier around the 40 kills mark. At this point instead of there being more than one minotaur on-screen at a time, there was only the one (this lasted until the high 40s). I'm not sure if this was intentional for whatever reason or if I've encountered a minor glitch.

It was definitely great to see these kind of games recreated in flash and I'm pleased that you decided to come up with your own game instead of simply re-making an already existing one.

Thanks for the feedback and the great review!

Those are some really good tips, I'll take them all into account, much appreciated :) As for the 40 kills mark, I slow it down for the next 10 points because at 50 I unleash Minotaur destruction, so I figured it'd be nice to give the player a bit of a calm before the storm. ;)

I agree with Nikko989

The game was going slow and stopping, and so I couldn't move and they suddenly all caught up at once and ate me. Kinda made the game unplayable.
Good concept though.

Thanks for the positive review despite the issues you had! :)

Sounds like a PC issue to me.. it's run OK on all systems I've tried it on.

Not bad

Nice but i got bored very fast ^^'

Nice idea...

But not as entertaining as I hoped it would be. Just like any other Game & Watch game it's too easy and gets boring after a little while. But I like the way you worked it out plus God of War itself is already worth a couple of points. Very original!

so so

it was fun but u just stay on a place
