Fun, but...
The whole Lucky Strike thing was a little too random for me. The fact that they could do that and kill one of the characters in 2 turns was too hard to get past. Then, some of the enemies were very hard to kill. Overall, 8/10 for the uniqueness of the story. Gameplay was seen elsewhere, all escept the magic, which was definitely unique. Good job.
It upholds a standard.
I've played most epicllama rpgs, and I have to say, they all follow a rather strict standard at this point. Character design differs very little, if at all. The graphics don't improve much. Gameplay was almost identical to the other rpgs, and the only innovation I noticed was the introduction of a "timing" system when using magic to improve damage, or dodge attacks.
Now, with that out of the way, let's get on to the actual review! The gameplay was nothing new, essentially, graphics and battle animations seemed unchanged, honestly, from past games. Grammer usage was kind of disappointing, as there were grammatical mistakes every 5 minutes or so (I understand this, if you're still learning to speak english, but otherwise try typing up a character script on microsoft word and using spell check on your sentences when making a game). Also, having to read every line is a thing of the past nowadays. RPGs like that have gotten rather dull to many players, so investing in voice actors for your games would be great. Not only would it improve the game itself, but the storyline would stand out so much more if we could hear the feeling behind the words, rather than imagining monotone voices in our heads. You did a pretty good job here, as in the rest of your rpgs, but try expirementing a little bit next time. Rather than just using the same character design schemes as before, try using something different. Take a different angle on things. Draw them by hand, and work from there, or whatever else you can think of. You're game's graphics shouldn't all look the same, they should be improving little-by-little with every new submission.
I did enjoy this game, and I think you did a good job here, as in the others. As always, I can't wait to see your new submissions, I wish you luck. Remember to expirement, try new things!
fair?
Mark this down all you want, I don't see why this deserves so much credit.
All the SFX are essentially from FF, except you changed the music to Mexican tunes? The overall graphics and mechanics are too rough, just isn't polished enough like Castaway Islands or Epic Battle Fantasy, both have their own unique styles and excellent graphics. I'll give you some credit for the slightly innovative magic spell system, but that's it.
Just look up some of the top Adventure or RPG games on Newgrounds, they should give you an idea of how important details are.
Sorry to ear you dont liked.
Thanks for playing!

Just got through the day!
So glad to see a quality RPG here on Newgrounds. I loved everything and especially the writing and the real time features remind me of Super Mario RPG <-- greatest RPG ever! I also enjoyed the bilingual jokes inserted into the corners of the game
Only complaints are... Old items sell for same value as you purchase them for(would have been alright if I had been informed) Enemies scale up as your party and equipment scales up(what's the point then?) I don't know if bosses do, I only noticed this in the communist parties(lol) after I bought all lvl 3 equipment.
Thanks to know you liked the game =D
about the enemies scales... the enemies become stronger in each lvl. but they dont scale directly with your items or lvl.. if you train for some time and then you fight them they will become easier (same with bosses, plus you can train in the starter areas to fight smaller enemies)!
thanks for playing amigo :D

Great game
Awesome game.
As to beat the final boss, you will need to buy max Life Vials and potions.
You can use the trainning button to fight random enemies and win extra xp.
With level 11 I could beat the final boss easily just using the potions.
Suggestion of improvement.
In the magics like El Rey and Rosita, you could add a marvelous instance (like a blue part on the clicking part) that would improve damage.
I realized that El Diablo kicks a lot more ass than the other two, some people (like me) does not like so unbalanced characters (El Diablo was the only one to go over 1k damage).
Great game! Make a sequel!
Im Glad to know that you liked the game :D
About Don Diablo, Im not sure, A Well performed "Bull eye" spell (if you unloked it) do massive damage, and is the spell of el rey... plus rosita and el rey has much better reaction time than don diablo!
Thanks a lot again for playing and commenting!!
