Pretty good.
Reviews for "The D.O.E.S"
Such a good game, such a fun game, such a hard game, and such a random game!
Some of the medals will be tricky to unlock, especially that Balanced stats medal. While the game has huge amounts of luck, there is a strategy component to the game. You're not likely to get the Balanced stats medal without at least some strategy or major major luck. I can think of a way you can hit it right off the bat at the start of the game (if you have amazing luck), but you may as well play the lottery if your luck is that good.
It takes some time and quite a few plays before you start to figure out what some of the stuff does and I think that's intended. But once you kind of know what does what and what your odds are on various things (and what happens if you choose them and get a "good" or a "bad" result) then even though the game throws completely random stuff at you you can still strategize a bit.
Only thing is I'm sure that albinoblacksheep site gets hammered from people playing this game because it's really not worth starting a game without clicking that and you have to click it each time or you'll have all 1's for stats, which is awful.
How To I Get The Secret Medal 2 I CANT GET THE CAP OFF!
Surn responds:
Drink the bleach and survive.
It's a reference to the movie "Cyberbully" where the main character's life is saved by her inability to remove a child-proof cap.
I just love this random and stupid things that happens in this game
UPD: Finally get Balanced achievement and now have all of them. Truly magnificent moment.
Surn responds:
Thanks!
I never played a "flash game" with such replayability. That's awesome!
It may be hard, but I suppose every good and challenging roguelike is hard the first time you play it, and it gets better once you know the mechanics and the best choices.
I also played the first D.O.E.S. and, although it has more in-game explainations, this one works way better with fighting system, "funny things" rolls and several features.
Honestly it's the kind of videogame I would enjoy making some fanarts, even join the project for a possible 3rd game (a D.O.3.S., probably) or some spin-offs about it, still regarding games.
I even have some good ideas right now, if you're interested.
