Reviews for "APOKALYX"

sorry, but....

I really like this game, I do. The animation was smooth, the voice acting was well-done and funny (good job, tomamoto!) but, like other people said, the stats were not very well explained, sometimes you are forced to face an opponent who is WAY too powerful for you and using the special powers made the game freeze up, forcing me to refresh my browser window. I'm sure you're working hard on fixing it, but it is quite annoying.

However, I enjoy the huge scope of what you did, and having to refresh made me realize that the battles are all unique, and I'm totally addicted to the game now, despite the flaws. Good job guys, just fix the little niggles, and this game will be perfect. :)

We know about this possible event of special power freeze on some computer.
Should you not have the very latest Flash Player version, please update it from Adobe and try again. Many Betatesters saw their problem solved this way.

We wanna solve that bug!

Its a fun game.

The amounts of work really show in the smoothness of everything; voices, movements, transitions... all good.
The real problem I am having is I cannot, for the love of GOD, call upon any powers whatsoever. The game crashes as soon as i click the button.
Is that a common error?
All I know is how to perry and strike with a side of potions.

Other than that I really like the game. The mpg part of it works well for me!

Please confirm you have Flash Player 10.1 installed. If it still freezes with special power we'd appreciate you to sign up for free on apokalyx.com in order to be contacted for next installments betatesting.

Well.. it's ok but there are serious problems

I'm playing as a Mutant. The enemies that cast Intimidate on you are just ridiculous. For three rounds (because that's the level I'm at now) I am almost completely unable to damage the enemy, with like a 20% hit chance for my regular attack. And Intimidate seems to never miss, even though I put a lot of stats into coordination, precision, and speed (13 or 14) and am not wearing any armor with penalties for those stats.

Also I have noticed a lot of enemies come out of stun a turn early. Poor programming.

Good game, needs tweaking

All in all, a pretty enjoyable waste of a couple of hours. Couple of tweaks which would help:
- AI allies were fairly useless, need to ban buffs for them, so they actually attack.
- The equipment seemed to stay pretty low level throughout the game. More powerful equipment would have been good.
- The counterattack ability seems to be broken, I parried regularly but never counterattacked. Note, this is not the case for Waiser.

On the plus side, the one-liners were quite funny, although got repetitive. The level system was good, as you never got to the highest levels in everything, and you had to make some interesting decisions. On the down side, the skill grouping seemed a bit strange, I would have thought mental and mind would be together. Maybe 3 groups instead of 2?

Good effort, hope to see a sequel or more like it.

I had a lot of fun actually playing the game but the stats don't give a clear purpose for wanting them give for your power tree. The battles are what tick me off the most; I wish my 500Gs worth of Cannon Fodder would do more than buff themselves and scream intimidation at the enemy. I hired them to attack, the cannon fodder is nice, though. I like to learn and the game provided much freedom to create my own character and for that I'm grateful. This game is like the hardcore version of Sonny.
