That was...
...GRAND!
RPG rox, but not much of 'em here on NG...
Oh, and to make it not seem that I'm a dumb reviewer...
+9 on grafics: a) switchable Hero armor&blade b) good fight anim. c) even without the previous "+"'s, the grafics STILL is better then in most games
-1 on grafics: the armor - if it was supposed to be a scale armor - you just didn't do it right... But, if it was supposed to be sth/ else, like a crystal armor - well, it can be :).
+9 on style - it has EVERYTHING that's supposed to be in a RPG - for me, that's enough :).
+7 on sound: Well, there's quite a nice music looped in the background... And the "swish" sound's right.
+2 on violence - the only "violence" in this thing's the fact, that the Hero slashes with a sword. And that the crystal uses a "driller" atack :).
+7 on interactivity: A 10/10 interact. rating's for games in which you can do practically anything. That's imposible.
-1 on interact. - there are a few flaws, practically invisible - when you click the "magic" button while using Glacier you get kicked back into the Main Menu. What does that glacier spell do anyway??
0 on Humor - Humor is a part of the plot. No plot - (almost) no humor. There sometimes are humor parts without the plot (eg.: the Bsys), but here we don't have them :(. Too bad...
Well, that's that :). Oh, and I can gues what's going to be in the plot - it's usually the same...
Crystal Village, etc. etc., Kid finds Blade, etc. etc., Black Crystal appears & kills whole Village while Kid'a away, etc. etc., Kid comes to Village & kills (smashes?) Crystal, etc. etc., Kid goes on a journey to revive Village & save world.
It was just a gues, really :).
What would I ad? Well...
1) First things first - write the plot & make the start making Adventure Mode.
2) The Battle system should be a seppareta part of the game - saves, exp., artifacts for kills, magic...
3) Remember that the NG Masters will delete submissions that are repeated - You'll make eg.: another 5 beta's, and submit them sepparetely - You'll get deleted. Do this: think of a REAL name for the game (Legend of the Sword - sounds kind'a crappy. Think of something better), submit the beta system on that name, write in the comment "This is still only a system beta!" and update the file & Author's Comments.
Hope that helped. Good luck on your Quest of Flash Creation ;)!
