awesome...
but with quite a bit of flaws.
The good
this game reminds me a lot of Secret of Mana mixed with Zelda, but a bit more Zelda. The fighting style is my favorite type (as apposed to normal rpg turn based) and the graphics are well drawn out. Interesting story line is good enough to keep me motivated. i also liked how simple the level system was with a small amount of things to upgrade.
The bad
There were alot of glitches that i found. the very first one when you are leaveing the little area that the first dungeon is in i got stuck in a tree in the room with one "hero"(more like asshole) and i had to refresh. Once i beat the first dungeon and went on to the cave area things got way worse. from this point on every new enemy introduced in the game blinks as if the animations for them are all screwed up, and it can get very difficult. the little enemys in macabre's boss fight were invisible for 90percent of the time(still beat it though). and another major glitch right when i start the game it is fine but it slowly starts to lag and the animations all move real jerky and laggy. but a refresh easily fixes that. im not sure what it is, but maybe the game is trying to keep too much data? (i dont have much knowledge with programming) and the monsters in the sand area are just all messed up, it looks like they are in a blender and scattering all around the screen and i have no idea where they are so i get hit randomly.
improvements for the next
1. no glitches like the ones mentioned abovve
2. more weapons (bombs boomerangs lances arrows etc.)
3. maybe a puzzle here or there
4. the weapons and armor system seems quite flawed, i found a cave with an anti poison armor ( i assume for beating the boss) and the armors in the later 2 shops dont compare to it(not really complaining too much lol)
5. the shop that opens later in the game should open after a certain boss in the game (i just slept till it opened)
6. i like to have a party (like in secret of mana) although i can see it being difficult to program it
7. i want to enter the damned houses! lol
but still over all great game it would have been a 10/10 if the glitches didn't bother me so much. keep up the great work =D im looking forward to beating this and seeing the next
