Here are a few bugs with equipment : The Holy Helmet's armor bonus versus undead doesn't work versus spectres (maybe versus other undeads as well), and the 40% damage return of the Spiked Platemail only works versus mages (the guys that ignores armor). I tested these extensively. I'd like you to email me when these problems are corrected.
I like the idea of sgj555, and warhammer : dark omen had this when you hit space, because it shown the map and paused the game, so you could choose your troops by clicking on the big banners. Your game simply needs a pause button, and you would be able to command your troops while in pause, because soemtimes it's hard to select the banner of a troop.
- Omg it's so great, because it reminds m so much of warhammer : dark omen, and a it's a really great game as well, but I'd really like to have to re-buy my units when I had casualties (it can be automated if you want), just like in warhammer : dark omen. And the ideas of other people are also very good. - I'm sure you took much inspiration from the warhammer universe, and it's all for the better ;), because it's like a 2nd dark omen game for me, but with great humor added to it ^_^.
The Engineer may be cheap as others say, but it's really very hard to go back up when you fell some distance, which kinda balances things out. Also it's a fun character, and it's your call if you wanna play the game cheaply or not, so who cares in the end ?
- This game is really like a dream for me, as it has everything I was searching for in a game of this kind ^_^. For months and months I was searching for a game of the same kind as Tower of Greed, and now I found it. This game also has the antiquity setting I love, and it has so many chars and such a great level design that it's very endless :D. The only really bad thing is how the game pauses itself, it looks like it wants to change the graphic quality every time, which interrupt the pausing process if you hold escape for too long. You even have to hit esc for only a little split second to have the game pause itself. I tried changing the quality but it doesn't help. - I'm going to put a lot of tags to this game so that people can find it, and so that you can have the many plays and the great rating that you deserve :D.
to MarcusDranz : Of course this game has elements of rogue-like !! How can you be so unfair ??? It has leveling, it has dungeons with monsters, in short it has all the appearances of a rogue-like, and maybe more...!! So while I understand what you mean completely, I don't agree at all on this point. And I know that puzzle mode isn't the only game mode.
God, what a bug ! I can't play anymore :( :(, because I can't open the shop or anything like this when I come on them for the 2nd time, because there's no window showing up. I tried hitting space or anything but it doesn't work. If you can help me pls send me a shout or a PM, don't answer by a comment ;).
Why this game is hyper-easy all the time, then when I get to the "dark world" (the purple one) it becomes kinda hard, and makes me die easily because I wasn't being careful since the game was mega-easy before that ? OK I made just one run and I know this quite a random game, but I'm sorry to say that the gameplay is too simple for me to retry without knowing if the difficulty is always this weird, because yes a difficulty jump like this is weird ;).
I just had a very serious bug, which was a bit my fault : All the equipment of my char disappeared because I refreshed the game while he was trying to save apparently. So I was gambling in the first town with wages of 50, I was winning and saving after each win, and when I finally lost, I refreshed the website so that the game wouldn't save my lost gold, and when I loaded my game my char had lost all his equipment :( :( :( ... I know I could have used the exit button of the game though. However, I was starting to get bored with my dps warrior anyway, so I'll just scrap this save and play a new class ;).
- In multiplayer, You can save and use your deck if you click save, then enter a name (it's better if it's a very little name) and click "save and select" ;), but you have to do it every time you modify your deck :(.
- I found the game quite easier with the Broadsword/Claymore/Tyrfing, as you can just charge your attack and release it when enemies come near you without ever moving. You can also beat the shielded enemies easily by charging your attack then releasing it as soon as they attack you (I think a little bit later is better). - Anyway the game is easier if you separate enemies by going behind a wall, then move a bit away from the wall and go back behind the wall, so that only a few enemies can follow you. It's especially useful when archers are around as they can't fire through walls UNLESS they are very close to thin walls.
To make the game easier, you can use the little sword which fire something when you charge your sword, and fire at big packs of enemies to wear them down. Just be careful that you advance a bit when you fire, so you have more range but you also get closer to enemies.
Bows and Crossbows may be bad because they aim weirdly, but the throwing axes aren't bugged, so use them if you want to attack from afar ;D. And I'm sure some others exotics ranged weapons aim correctly.
When I load my game I lose my potions and I have a bug with the starting whip, because i can hit monsters as far as I see them without moving an inch, just like I had an enormous spear lol. So I have to play in one playthrough to play normally :(.
I agree with other commentators and I just have one thing to add : OMG such great musics !!! I don't know if they come from somewhere else or if you created them, but for me it's the best thing in the game :D. I even recorded them with wavepad in its free version.
This game is like a puzzle game to me, you need to think about the path you will take before actually starting the thievery (if you want to max your thieveries), so the restarting should let you restart at each screen of a city, NOT restart the whole city... as it is, sorry but it's a big pain in the butt when you like to play perfectly like I do. Also you could add W as a jumping key for frenchs and some other europeans, because we have W instead of Z.
I think that for a start, you should just make it so every energy orb have a platform under it and that you can always jump to the platform and to the Orb after. Some platforms would be only for the highest jump, and some others for lower jumps. Also I have lags on the game it seems, but if the game is as fast as it seems when a lag goes away, it's a bit too fast to be enjoyable ;).
It's really too bad that the music resets when you die, because most are great :). You could just let the music plays for all the time when one is in a world, until he gets to the "escape" level, where you could let the music plays even when one die. In short, I'd prefer not to have the music reset itself until it have to change than to have a dying music ;). No problem with the game otherwise, graphics are nice (they make me think to Zelda on SNES ^_^), controls are great, and gameplay is very interesting. I love this kind of retro game and I really liked your humor, especially when I could kill the boss pursuing me ^_^.
