Reviews for "Shadow Rising"

Not bad

First of all, PainKeeper, you say there is only one stage, I assume you meant the village level.
However, after you beat the first boss, I got bored, so i did the other village one with 8 waves of grinding levels. For some reasons after that, i had access to the forest level. Perhaps the level is restricted by levels. Maybe your level was just not high enough? Or maybe the author wanted to make sure all the maps were played? who knows. Either way, just beat the 8 waves =p

Some things I think are bugged are that I cant seem to see myself losing HP in the grinding level, and my mana is constantly at 0, so I dont know when my mana are gonna be used up and all, nor can i tell that im going to die.

Second thing is, that I got my blood thief skill, but I dont seem to be healing at all. im at 3/5 i think for that skill, and its 1.5% at the bottom right, which is confusing because the skill says I gain 10% of damage dealt as hp. Either way, 1.5% or 10%, im doing around 300+ damage, I should still see myself gaining hp even if its just +3 hp per hit. Not sure if its just me.

Lastly, since I stopped at the forest level, there was another "bug" at the grinding level. You cannot do anymore "combos". Like the combo meter still works, in fact, it never gets cancels (hence I got like 400+ combos), but ONLY the first hit that lands on the enemy counts. All the spamming afterward are "dodged" or something, they just become immuned for a couple seconds.
HOWEVER, there IS a way around it for those of you who are annoyed at that stage =p I realize that the FIRST punch you throw will ALWAYS count. YES, just keep spamming your mouse button, but just a bit slowly, so you'll be constantly repeating the FIRST punch of your combos, it'll be similar to the normal spamming combos you do in game xP

--Will write more if i play more xD

Let me know if my review helps in anyway people! vote :D
And i'll decide if i'll write another one or just not waste anyone else's time if i suck x[

Some good... some bad

A flash game in a free site doesn't supposed to be payed people...
otherwise the game is quite good, with great graphyc and animation... the battle sistem work fine (especially with WAD and mouse to strike... well done).
I saw also a lot of achievements, some of them could be succesfull trasformed in NG medals.

hmmm

game itself isnt that bad. grafix and sound very well. story is ok. is smooth and fun.

but to pay for a flash game after 1st stage is realy bad.

i dont got high speed connection and wait abou 15 min to play 1 lvl

MAYBE RENAME IT TO: Shadow Rising >>D E M O<<

sry but this is funkiller. wait long time loading and play just 1lvl
so only 1 point for 1 level ..

freaking unbelivable

being charged for a completely unremarkable game that is how far the web has sunk. one of the main reasons people play flash games is that they are free if game makers start charging us for every so so fighting game they make they will turn a lot of people away from all of the good games that people post on sites like this.

Game seemed promising but...

there's always a catch. I level up, and get told to go to some site to unlock content, I do so then it wants me to pay for said content.
I'd rather not play half a game than pay to play a full flash game which I tend to use to kill time between doing one thing or another. Normally if people want to make games and money and are starting off, they make things for the iPhone and whatnot, not flash games they post on newgrounds.
