Reviews for "Valthirian Arc"

A day worth three years

The graphics are great, all the sound effects and music are very interesting, and i can't complain about the mechanics.
I mean... i though of complaining of the fact of some of my players getting jammed near a pond sometimes, but after i attracted a bunch of wolves to the edge of the pond just to switch player for someone that was already on the other side of the pond and then press shift, so i can calmly shoot all of the wolves to death, i though that maybe the mechanic wasn't that bad, it only need some strategic working.
Last game i played with that style of gameplay was "princess maker 2", and that was a long time ago, nice to see it's possible to make something that big in flash.
Sad it didn't had any special endings but i do understand that it would be really though of pulling out since there's no way to set an ending year if the players want to compete for points the longer they can.

Ambitius

Its sort of like Persona 4's Social system.. well only when you think about it. I mean to be honest i have played these sort of games to command players do quests get money and then the aspect that makes them all differential is the side kick of the premise. In this case its that your a principle and that's neat. Its charming and has boat loads of replayability and additional content. I Enjoyed assigning my Minions "Uhamm" High school darlings to screw some monsters and get awarded only to have more of them and a better school. The visuals while only in battle does the actual graphics show is still impressive. The interface and just the polish is awesome. Also if i could by the soundtrack of this game i would. Though hearing those brats yell out roger, coming etc bugged me. (Reminded me of Valkyrie Chronicles) But i have to show my love for the love that got put in to this Great game.

WoOt!!!

better than exspected

fame

the fame dosent work!!! i have the character that in demand and i dont even gain fame!!!

Very good ground work

Loved the arts, the music and the sprites. Also the game play.

Would have loved even more if it would not be just a game against time ( or lack of ), since requirements just get higher to a level where they become unachievable.

Have gotten all medals and runes within first 3 years, but would have expected a bit more when having all runes achieved, like e.g. 'You beat the game'. Some kind of reward for putting so much time into it. A bit annoying that the game pops up all the time with 'Medal gained' for NG medals, instead of remembering those settings.

A story mode would do this game real justice. To fight against certain opposing schools/universities with their principals. Like e.g. a mix of 'Rival Schools' and the Pokemon principle. A win-tournaments-in-a-row bonus would be great, in terms of money and LP. So you can rather suffice to the kings hightening demands, instead of just getting 400 LP per won tournament. Top of the notch could of course also be a tournament tree that you follow throghout the year against rival schools.

A bit of clumpsy coding, since the maps just go into abusing mode. That is, pick a high level student, and 2-3 low-level ones, jump into a Melee level ( Wolves give best XP ), and run as fast as you can behind some water, while 'SHIFT' warping your students out of danger. ( Basically same tactic as 'Abusing the apprentice' ) Enemies should spot, that they are running all the time on one place, and have some more random logic behind that when they see they cannot get forward.

Still, this game will be one of my favorites. I love the feeling and the style, and I hope there will be a second part with the mentioned improvements by the community. Thumbs up!

PS: The wiki is of a lot of great help. 3 Sorceress + Mirage Caster is the strongest team for any tournaments. ( Normally not required, just 2-3 high-level scors will do + low level player to gain some EXP ). Also 4 star hunt missions give you more than 5 star ones, and graduating non-evolved students gives more fame as they have a 1.3x multiplier ( except for current months target group with 1.5x multiplier ),
