Some (actual) tips: 1. Rounds you beat once are shorter in all future runs, including after Transcend. 2. Short runs are better than long runs, but it's usually good to push a few rounds further each time. 3. Using the offline tick buff is *vastly* more efficient than trying longer (>2hr) on-line runs. 4. The "Precision" perk will slow short runs down a lot, and isn't useful after you get Tracking (from Reputation).
I think there's a bit of a missed opportunity with the Spirit upgrades; they're powerful, but also a little same-y. I'd propose replacing them with clickable active and toggle powers (rank improves effect and cd) that do things like Dispel all effect stacks on current enemy, Heal the player, allow the player to trade Focus time for direct damage or resource buffs. Maybe you could work out one that lets players customize Auto-Buy behavior further, too?
I was also disappointed with the need for the Reincarnation power. Could you turn Transcend Count into a passive stat that grants a fixed amount of Fortune/Rep (say, x100 and x30) and buffs all resource gain (say, 1+ t*0.25)?
Maybe replace healing "dungeons" with buff "dungeons"? In practice, it seems like your party is full-health, DPS racing, or dead... which is pretty common to RPGs, really. Temples/towns/whatever that improve armor or damage for X time or X map spaces would be much more helpful than cleric statues.
I think you can get all of the books by running any map of the level or higher at which it would appear. Not 100% sure, but I've never missed a 'logical' next step (eg, no jumping from Helmet II to Shoulderguards II or whatever).
please change the heritage upgrades to grant a slightly smaller flat bonus (80% or so of current) but a scaling bonus that increases with number of times that faction has been played.
Day 32 : The quest for an ever-more-powerful Food Mace has nearly worn away my "2" key, but I soldier on. The path behind me is trampled flat by my ravenous legions of rabbit archers; the path before me is littered by the mound of shells of my faithful turtle scouts and guardsmen. The other animals have all but abandoned me, save for the occasional wandering dragon whose company and refreshing change of hue I enjoy.
As I send another dozen young turtles knowingly to their grave, I wonder: How can I be forgiven for this? How can a merciful God even allow it? And yet my food magic does not falter. I wonder if perhaps it is fueled by some other, darker source, for I know not what new trials await the world when my army, disbanded, is unleashed upon it...
This was really fun! I think you have a lot of room to expand & improve. I think one thing that really stuck out for me was how some skills were useless if you weren't using the character in question as a leader. Glenn, for example, has two skills that only matter if he's leading, while all of Selene's are useful no matter which position she's in. I think either combining the active skills together for a "party attack" or ensuring each character has the same 'balance' of skills would be really good.
But I only say that because I'm really looking forward to a sequel or another adventure of this sort!
i hate how this game comes up for challenges. stop it. it's broken to all crap. i had to restart the challenge because unless you kill the shuriken throwers, you will eventually be unable to *lose.* seriously. i was just locked in crouch until i finally refreshed.
Fantastic game for 48 hours! Still... as a complete experience, it's lacking. The upgrade system feels tacky; since so many of the upgrades are practically mandatory to get anywhere, it's just a forced delay to "actually" playing. As others have said, the upscroll gets much too fast much too quickly... it's frustrating that it's the only meaningful challenge. 3/5; enjoyable, and I hope to see the concept turned into a 'whole' game from you.
Didn't really like how quirky the physics were; chips from broken blocks affect balance but falling objects don't always bounce the same way. Can be frustrating to retry a level several times to get things just to fall properly.
