A miracle - IMO the best game on NG
I don't really know what you guys want from this game (I mean two under me). First things first (II2none) - this game is a LOW BUDGET GAME and it has really few bugs compared to the others. It is also really both playable and demanding, giving it 7 beacause it doesn't match your ideal is really harsh for me. You should rate it in comparison with other low-budgets, not your ideal, because then you are very unfair...
Secondly - (animefin) if you spend some time playing this game you can master the combo system and you can do it so greatly, that nothing will be able to stop you (except Vandheer ofc :D). If you don't want to experiment with all the possibilities I can give you some hints to "outsmart" your enemies when you are in a pinch. It is like in true life - the more you practice, the better you can. This combo system gives you a deep expirience of how practicing and trying to understand it can give you almost full control over the battlefield. On hard mode mastering the combo system is vital. And that is all.
Then, going back to my question: What do you want more from this low budget miracle? You get awesome playability, a chance to somehow "feel" as your training (mastering the combo system) makes lw stronger, beuatiful graphics, both climatic and not exhausting music and a great, challenges to overcome (medals to get). And all that for free!
Before you start pointing out the mitakes, try to get the full experience of the game by training your own skills in it, or, if you are searching for ideal, low budget game and, of course, free for everyone to play, make your own, better. It is easy to tell others what their work lacks not taking into account conditions they were working under.
As I said - I find this game a pure miracle. And a piece of art. Not very deep, but beutiful and fulfilling its purpose - giving loads of fun, letting one to chill out and giving demanding challenges to overcome. In my opinion - thisgame, for now and compared with the others of course, is PERFECT.
