Gavasan-The reason is if you have a knight and you promote him to Paladin, the gear used will be different. So you have a apprentice who is turned into a scout, apprentices use swords and scouts use knives, so you get different gear to use-Hop that answers your question!
Here's my Rant-
Over all this is an OK game-2 or 3 out of 5 stars at most. But relay, there is not a point in the speed upgrade, and from what i can tell, it only makes hitting your target harder. The starter weapon was too weak and i had to do a couple of runs before i could buy things. An how does tying up a deers legs in lights make it go faster? The fact the the fire rate was non changeable also helped kill this game. The instructions looked like they were drawn by a toddler, and they weren't all that helpful. Really, most of this game is a flop. The HUD, music, and in game background were the only thing that kept this from a 1/5 star rating. Dev, maybe a auto fire would be nice, if your lazy and you don't like to hold down the mouse button.
HEY u can mute by going over to the main menu, finding the music tab(the pulsing bars) and clicking them. An Audio bar pops up DRAG IT UP AND DOWN!!! READ THIS RETARDS!!
I've played the 2nd on, and it's great. This... this is perfect example of a game that serves to produce good sequels. However. IT IS POORLY DESIGNED!! You cant use the cover as cover, they only stop your motion. After you kill a boss, your health is so low, there's no way you'll get back. Maybe a full heal after a boss fight? After that, there's never enough health to get by anyways! I'd say increase spawn rate. On top of that, there's that fact AFTER you kill the boss, AFTER you fight through waves of enemies, you have to kill the baddies again just to finish the level!!! Not to even mention the poorly set time table. 2/5 stars, because the 2nd one is good
Note- when in the shop, the first item you move your mouse over to sell, tays the same untill you stop and move the mouse. Devs, could you work on this one?
