This is an awesome game all in all.
The thing that irked me, and I'm sure others have mentioned this, is the fact that you pass your enemies if you just go on a rage blood thirst spree and don't pay attention. Though the double swords "x" move kind of helps with the passing while attacking thing.
Other than that. Everything feels legit to me. Clothes could be better and color customizable. But that's just me being picky and spoiled and so on and so forth. xD
fun game, easy for it to devolve into button mashing
Nice upgrade system with the magic and all the items etc.
fun game
I enjoyed the game a lot.
The things that bugged me were just things like, while attacking you end up passing your enemy's, and it get's annoying, but you learn to work around it. So like if there was more of a attack radius around the character, and less forward movement, it wouldn't make a problem. I was thinking maybe there should be an inventory, and more hot keys so that you have 2 item choices rather then 1. Also if their was class's, with different skill upgrades, and special attacks. And for the controls, maybe you could have it where people could set their own, too meet their own needs, it was kind of awkward using z, and x for attack and then c for healing and v for spells, because it was hard to use spells and attack without accidently waisting a potion. I enjoyed it and hope to see a newer version. I could see this being one of those xbox games you download and pay for a fullversion or what not.
I thought it would be like Sands of the Colliseum (sorry for spelling)turns out...this is better (in my opinion)
Was excited to play the game after reading the short author comments. Must say that i rather enjoyed it... apart from a few minor details.
1. The controls, which I see many have pointed out, are odd.. My ring finger and lil finger arent exactly good at button mashing (which is highly expected in this brawler). Shldv been C and V for attacks.
2. Character movement gave me a bit of a tough time. Not sure if it was just for me for some odd reason, but he kept moving forward as he attacked and many a times completely passed by his opponent.
3. By the time I got to stage VII of the Pit, it seemed I had suddenly stepped into a completely different level of difficulty. The two hand gladiators would rush in, deliver two straight blows..and i'd wind up dead. This with full armor upgrades, spells etc available at that point.
Great game though. Just a bit irksome to continue with.
