Bug, my tames vanish, but when i catch new ones they are added to my party dressed in the gear that my vanished tame had??
Other than that its a great start i hope this works out
Reviews for "Tamer"
I can't move at the very start for some reason, but I give the art style praise
OK! I love and hate this game - heres why:
-Im addicted to it,its an interesting game with good artwork and its on the right path with the whole roguelike monster taming thing it has going.That being said heres whats wrong with it:
-Its unplayable and i had to download the game to even attempt to see most of the content because if youre playing the browser version (like on this website) if the game crashes (and it does that ALOT) youd have to refresh the page and your save is gone
-Once you get passed that problem the next thing that sticks out is STATS - while i can guess what most of them do i have no idea how ALLURE/CHARISMA/PERSUASION/DEMEANOR and SEX. ABILITY affect the character
-The "tutorial" if you can call it that is buggy and lacking explanation of other mechanics- the first time I played I defeated the pet cat and it didnt trigger the 2nd part teaching me about taming and it triggered after my first attempt to tame a monster robbing me of my win for some reason and in another run it didnt trigger at all just had the mom standing at the door and the cat just said "hello boss" without fighting me.It doesnt explain what different taming options do like TOUCH/BERATE/DOM.SEX etc. - in some cases i had more arrows appear in the minigame so i assume some monsters pref different actions and you get a slight boost
-On the topic of the minigame i think the timer should be increased by 1-2sec because ive already done most of the work by fighting to get to this point and it sucks when you dont get to tame someone because in each fight you can only pick ONE enemy to attempt to tame
-Often menu options overlap or some boxes dont close and stay there like while training if you
open the stats screen the two love-meters stay there and block the numbers on the character sheets - that is the most consistent overlap(as in every time) the others are random and sometimes show up sometimes dont - also WHO am i training ? is it my character or the monster ive tamed ? and what do the different training options actually do ? because ive noticed that mostly my demeanor changes and not much else
-The time between combat (or spawn radius of monsters after a combat) should be tweaked because ive been locked in 7 fights in a row without a chance to run away (yes the character moves faster than mobs but they can sometimes spawn so close and aggro on you before the game lets you react)
-Monster seem to spawn in areas they shouldnt , and sometimes they dont spawn in areas they should at all: let me clarify - ive often seen them spawn right outside the 1st cave and sometimes you can go 3-4 layers without seeing a single enemy
-Also there is no way of telling how many enemies youre about to fight and what level they are
ive had a game where my level one character ran into 3 enemies as my 1st fight right OUTSIDE the cave and atleast one of them was level7 (idk about the rest since i could only tame one at a time)
-While the main character IS overpowered in comparison to the mobs it can still be risky to go to the deeper areas because you can only heal yourself with HP pots or the HEAL ALL spell OR by going back to your house and TRAINING?! no sleep option no rest option no heal just TRAIN and youre back to full HP (leveling doesnt heal you)
-It doesnt matter what class you pick!They all have the same skills the only difference is your starting stats (btw demeanor jumps to 50+ after your first fight so idk why bother with a low starting stat or is that a bug ???)
-The characters you will see here are all amazing! Amazing in their ability to make you want to punch them in the face in just a few minutes: the mom tells you to stop being a slacker and go risk your life to make SOME money!!!
theres a guy sitting by a well who asks you wtf are you still doing here go fight with monsters also your DEAD sister was a slut and let me play with her boobs
the girl on the other side of the bridge seemed nice until she told me to be careful or ill end up dead like my sister - i get it it rough out there but does everyone have to rub it in ?! seems abit on the nose....
Anyway im giving this game the max rating and will soon donate because i love it ... but please fix this mess X.X
PlagueGameStudios responds:
Haha great response! You are right on top of it. The major issue here, being newgrounds, is, it's not optimized for playing in the browser. I don't know if I should have released a web build at all, because the experience isn't great.
The rest, yeah, it's pretty buggy at this stage. The more the bugs are reported like this, the more I get through them. Thanks for chewing through the mess!
I am always around the discord, jump in and chat anytime.
Thanks for playing!
Just started playing, but I can already see this game has effort put into it. Liking the character options and art style. Working on building my collection of captured creatures,,,,,,,,,for something better than badges.
It's actualy a really fun game to play, and the variety of enemy characters that you can find and either "fight" or "tame" is amazing. the art stile is also really good.
