where was i when it came out?

i love the story line of armed with wings series. i know this review is usless, but still, i loved it.

awesome

one of the most exciting games Ive played on NG in a long time,

really excellent, fun and engaging, I need to go back and play the previous games!

Ok...

I can imagine that, after all the 10s you've received, this score could be a little jarring. But, let it be known that this score that I'm giving you is for good reason and should not be misconstrued as trolling.

That said, let's get to the review.

First off, Controls.
The controls to me feel very floaty and imprecise. The whole game has this "moon gravity" feel to it. And, while that might mean your jumps are sufficiently high/far in most cases (except when the double-jump is needed), it also means that one hit from an enemy will send you sailing.
Also, I couldn't help but notice that the double-jump feature tends to work only every now and again. At first, I thought it might be because the double-jump unlocks along with new attacks, but I recall several instances where I performed it when I only had my basic attack.

Secondly, game features.
So, did you know that you actually got to control the final boss during the last level? I sure didn't. It didn't help that I was given zero warning that that was going to happen. I suppose that causing confusion might have been the point, but I still would've preferred that you didn't just drop that on the player. I'm not saying that wasn't a pretty cool idea (it was), it's just that suddenly switching to a different character could've been executed a little better and may have been preceded by some sort of warning or something.

I also encountered a few glitches during my play through. The first made me fall through the platform I was standing on, except it didn't kill me. I just kept falling, and I couldn't restart. The second glitch occurred when I reloaded the game. It caused the game to loop endlessly through the opening credits, and then start all over once it reached the title screen. Might wanna take a look at that.

Final Verdict (tl;dr of my review):

Floaty controls + Wonky platforming: -2

sloppily-executed surprise character switch: -1

glitches (total of 2): -2

final score: 5/10

awesome twist endng

wow awesome fights mechanic, gorgeous sounds, and awesome graphics. I the agme had such atmosphere.

spolier!!!
I was disappoitnemnted yet suprised when palying as the big bad. I really wanted to kill his smug attitude. But it just made the game that much mroe poetic almost tragic.
