Reviews for Armed with Wings 3

Great game overall

This is a well made game with a great visual style and music. The story felt a bit anime cliche, been I didn't mind that at all, in these type of flash game, less is more.

There were some areas I had to nitpick, such as upgrades don't come often enough, it should happen at least every 2 or 3 stages so you hero can get progressively stronger instead of stashing for one huge upgrade. Ledge grabs collision detection can be better, there were lots of times where it'll look like I'll grab a ledge but instead did a wall jump and fell to my death. Also HTH was completely null by sword. Sword is superior in every way due to it's range, I wish there was something to differentiate them so it would be constructive to use one or the other instead of relying purely on the sword.

I think the difficulty overall was very nice, not too hard and not too easy. Good balance of platforming and action. I never really died due to enemy attacks, all were ledge falls or spikes which comes back to cliff collision detection. Puzzles were just right, they weren't difficult at all but took a little exploring and thinking to solve. Boss fights were entertaining, look stylish and made you felt like a badass so job well done. They weren't difficult but that's alright, I play these games to relax and not get stress.

Fun Game

Cool art. Good music. I agree with sjs00 on his entire list. I'll add one more to the cons list: I found the game way too easy

If you want to farm experience, you just have to clear out a level of enemies and then kill yourself over and over again. And you always have a move you can spam. Battles become monotonous after a while.

But I did really dig your game's style. Keep it up!

To sjs00, you beat the last boss by just running up to him and slashing as fast as you can. As soon as you see his attack frame animation (which will be slowed because you're hitting him), use teleport.

Or better yet: Use Spinning Agile. You get complete invincibility during all frames of this move, which makes it the best skill in the game. Plus (unlike what it says) this move has a gradual decay of skill points, so you can use it pretty liberally once you get the booster to recharge your skill points.

Technical note: The game glitched on me once. It was in the level where you send your eagle through the shaft and lift up the two doors with the one chain in between them. When I got to the part where you go through the door to fight the mob of enemies, I was ambushed by all of them standing near it and I lost control of my character. When I "retried" the level, parts of the solid stage (chunks of it) looked like the forest background.

Great game, but extremely buggy

This is a great game, but the thing that got me the most were the bugs. Sometimes, I would go on a ledge and it would keep repeating the climbing animation until I restart. Other times, I would get hit by an enemy the same time I go through a door, and I would get hit, but stuck in front of the door, making me immobile as I watch myself get killed.

I tried Daniel, I really did.

I'm really sorry bout' this.

Well, I'll just break this review up into pro's and con's

Pro's
-Extremely compelling storyline
-Very nice weapons and combos
-Interesting "boosters" and upgrades
-Classic Armed with Wings black grey and white game design
-Very well animated cut scenes
-Overall a very great series
-Leon's mom is a milf

Con's
-Easily knocked off of map for a 1 hit KO
-No option to skip dialog, so when I'm knocked of the map, I have to mash the spacebar just to try again
-Not enough time to go to the upgrade center (after every stage would be desirable)
-No option to mute the music
-For some reason, when I get the charge attack boost, my attacks become unbearably slow to "charge" and most enemies can 2 hit combo me before I even swing
-No option to replay previous chapters to gain exp, gather extras, find special attacks, etc.
-The health recharge boost stops at 100 health, even if I upgrade my health bar
-Various other glitches already pointed out

Hey Daniel, don't get me wrong, I love the Armed with Wings series, I was there at the very beginning. I love the concept and your style of animating. I love the action sequences. What I'm saying is that, while you did put a ton of effort into this game, everyone appreciates it by the way, there are a few things you overlooked that make this masterpiece a tragic could-have. I will always check your stuff out, and will give this game another shot, but please, if there is a sequel, (I don't even know how it ends; can't beat the final boss) please consider these changes. If you do, I'm sure the Armed with Wings Series will become an instant classic, one I'm sure people would pay for.
I'm going to save my 5/5 for when you fix your otherwise perfect game, but until then, I won't hurt your score.
Peace! Sjs--
