Overall, a good rpg that just gets tedious.
It was an excellent rpg, gameplay wise, but with the lack of a compelling story, it got a little tedious. Great game, and I give it an 8

Addiction in Flash Form
a very addicting game thats well made. i just finished the first 25 floors. i found myself 5 lvls under the bosses since crab king and it was fairly easy. just buff your party in the beginning of any boss fight with buffs that affect the entire party, make sure you know 'heal all' and its a breeze. its pretty fun, however it does have its flaws.
1) the skill system does not give much incentive to use more than one skill tree per character. i found myself sticking with one skill path for each character and never changing it for the entirety of the first 25 floors, which gave it a sense of monotony. maybe give out more skill points per lvl and from sidequests or decrease the amount of points needed between skills. also my inventory would not stop flashing no matter what i did until i spent unspent points.
2) when a buff and debuff are both active on a character, it does not cancel them out and i found that the debuff is even more potent than the buff, this meant having to dispel both the buff and debuff away to clean the slate rather than simply casting the buff to return to normal.
3)the blind debuff is EXTREMELY crippling early game and downright annoying mid to late game. in early game you cant use eyedrops fast enough before the enemy simply throws another smoke grenade. i found myself avoiding the gas mask guys on the map and focusing all my attention on them in battles. maybe if the hit rate after blind was something like 25-50% rather than 0% it would balance it better. it really breaks the game too when you silence and blind an enemy as you can then take your sweet time killing them.
4) the treasure chests hold no incentive to pick them up and they disappear if you run into enemies before you grab them. maybe make them spawn less often with better rewards.
5)the zombie defender minigame isnt very responsive when your clicking on the tiles. this punishs you big time in hard, and makes it impossible in expert.
6) the mp system makes early game more conservative with skills and mid to late game a spamfest without much need to conserve. i didnt find this too terribly troubling just quirky.
all in all a good game, just with lots and lots of balance issues
Is there a part two?
Love the game. I hope that I'll see the witch(the antagonist) fight if there will be a part two.
Truly Loved This.
The Only Reason This Didn't Get A 10/10 From Me Was Because Of Your Minor Bugs, But Other Than That This Game Is Flawless As RPGs Go. It Had Eveyrthing That Reminded Me Of Chrono Trigger To FF. You Did Good Buddy. The Critics That Are Being Harsh Are Just...I Don't Know...Slightly Insane I'd Assume. Keep It Up.
