When I started playing these series last week, I started with Chapter Three. To put it mildly, it was a rocky start and continuing was even rockier. I had most everything completed, except for everyone's solo arena challenge, and I went to fight the first superboss. I got ripped a new one, mainly because my guys were mid 30s. Eventually, you find yourself grinding hard either to gain levels, learn skills, active, reactive, or passive, or to get certain loot items to make Legion's best gear. This past Friday, I said frak it, and started with Chapter one. Now I know more about the storyline, and I carried over some essential equipment. Needless to say, I'll be able to probably do much better this time around. Champ Sword ftw!!!
@apocalis20 The save from previous chapters feature was most likely (not sure) derived from the dotHack games, since the first season that was transcripted onto the games came in 4 parts (it was that huge). Also, there are many referances to Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts (both made by the RPG giant, SquareENIX), such as the Keyblade in ch.2 and many more references in ch.3. I will agree that the storyline is deep, and appears original. I might as well add this, the second super boss in ch.3 is equivalent to any and all fights with Sephiroth. To Pseudolonewolf, impressive series thus far, also, I enjoyed how you made a character in ch.3 named after your Kongregate alias. I also know who Lone Wolf truly is, but I won't spoil it, that's for those who are strong (and fortunate) enough to complete ch.3 arena.
Phew, took awhile to get past everything. Had to escape several times before I could push any deeper, but I got to the bottom and beat it. And I only used healing spells, so call me the Paladin. 5/5 for a very well thought out game, even for your first flash submission.
Interesting game. I miss the retro games, sure, but that's what makes it so difficult. Great job, have to continue playing to get everything and beat it.
