It's a good game, but some of the later levels are pretty ridiculous in terms of how many enemies there are and your positioning at the start of the level. When you add in that the hitboxes could use a little bit of work, it can quickly become frustrating.
Really good game, except I feel the artifacts have a tendency to repeat themselves a little too often, especially at the beginning. 7 Shiny Bronze Armours by my second run is a little much.
Easy way to break the game; just purposefully play awfully for ages at star level one, and buy a ton of NRG drinks while they are dirt cheap. Then you can level up skills and play at max work rate pretty much as you please.
Pretty solid game, quite enjoyable. Only real gripe is that floors 51-100 are far too easy; in fact, I beat the final boss at full health, full mp with 5 of every potion after going from floor 39 on.
4/5
Some of this game's beautiful quotes:
Slashy slashy!
I'm too handsome to dieeeeeee!
I'm hungry, but for today I will become a vegematarian.
Aww... Sounds like someone needs a little cheering up! *Gets Eaten*
Err.. You go first! You're older, and uh wiser!
Let's team up! Sure thing, sexy man!
How am I going to get through here? My manly physique won't fit...
Lucky me! This room looks comfy! *Dies*
What a great view! *Dies*
Hold on handsome, we just met!
Uh-oh, it looks like someone spilled raspberry juice all over the floor...
Well, THAT was a piece of cake! *Dies*
That is some sexy treasure for a handsome man! It might get stolen! I better take it with me.
I wonder what this lever does!
Okay, I've had enough. It's like the more I upgrade, the worse I get! Why drive long if your opponents just constantly hit it shorter and get past you? The 'End Now' button is broken, and CHEATS you out of a win, and the physics and power mechanics in this game are laughable.
Ok, seriously. WHY IS THERE A TIME LIMIT? Either get rid of the time limit, or just make the Ultimate Achievement 'No Alarms Raised'. Or, even as a third option, make the target follow a set path, and make it so that you can go into the exit even with the alarm raised. The only time I ever die in this game is because of the time limit, and it's the only reason this game is so hard in the later stages.
It's magic, don't ask.
