I had genuinely convinced myself this game was a *fever dream*, and to find it here so, so many years later is just. incredible. Guess I have to go hunting for the other strange games, like the one about hunting a gigantic dragonfly in this vast empty field haha!

Uh, people, please read this regarding Flash games continuing on Kongregate: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/1932722-the-future-of-flash-games-on-kongregate.

The game is simplistic, but quick'n'fun... Though one thing I REALLY despise in games is when I take damage during cutscenes (and I'm locked into place because of them, so it's not cool!).

If you're struggling to get the hard badges, just take 4x Chrono Matter into the last boss fights and freeze them forever, then just hack away at them till they die, If you farm the mission just before The Ancient Shrine, you should be able to farm the time locks to craft as many Chrono Matters as you need.

"You acquired this badge on Sep 26 2012"... Good old times! Now sadly without Adobe flash we can't no more enjoy this game! Because of this I guess 2021 is the "goodbye year" to Kongregate achievements, many thanks for 15 years of fun on Kong games!

Just what "Flash crash" ?? Flash games still play perfectly well without even using an extension or anything. Even in Chrome, which has been extremely annoying toward flash for over 2 years. This game for instance plays nicely in the latest version.

Cleaning up some old missed badges before the end of the year, and I don't know how I overlooked this one. This is a truly fantastic game, especially for being so old. Congrats to FairyPoet on a remarkable achievement.

So, I use that expensive item to prevent taking any damage. Guess what happens. I'm already dying at that point, so thanks to a bug in the game the item gets wasted and at the same time it doesn't really help. Well, I guess I tried, but I don't like it enough to continue.

To beat Pisces I hovered in the upper right corner to avoid attacks until my magic replenished and then used the number 2 attack in front of them, repeatedly... enjoy the badge

Fun game which is somewhat brought down by design flaws which have become more obvious over the years. While I enjoy the game I do find myself wishing for some quality of life improvements, chief of which are the ability to reset your skill points, a more detailed bestiary for the spirit beasts and possibly raising the level cap since it feels a tad redundant when you already have a limit to how many points you can put into each stat.

got to the end on easy and chose to do new game+ on the next difficulty, and instead of normal I got nightmare??? Changing my score from 5 to 1. No way I'm putting in the time for the hard badges.

I would enjoy it more if the colors were a bit more easy to separate, and have some more explanation on things. Further it is a pretty fun game!

So you're fighting blue/gray critters on a blue/gray background. Even zoomed in this game is ridiculously painful on the eyes as pretty much everything is camouflaged except for some red lazer lines that sometimes come at you. Totally ridiculous.

World building is nice and all but holy hell you can't just keep dumping gibberish on the player as if they know what you're talking about. This is why a lot of stories introduce a newcomer for the others to explain everything to.

mouse controls? would have loved them. left click as switch weapon, right click as spirit beast special, keyboard for items would have been great. other than that i would have liked to have rider weapon choices, or something that gave rider weapon's variability since i am on level 6 and i see no way to change it, though if u can change rider weapon later on i retract this part of the statement.

I do not understand the story whatsoever. Probably because I didn't play the first game, but still. The plot is ... all over the place. And then it ends right as the "final boss" shows up? What?
Also, since the spirit beasts are such a huge part of the game, not knowing what you're upgrading to is very bad.

4/5 stars. Charming graphics, intuitive game play. Was trying to be story-driven, but story wasn't engaging. Mount upgrades, while not a unique concept, was done quite well. Well worth a few hours of your time.

BTW: zodiac bosses are Pisces, Taurus, Aquarius, Virgo, Aries, Scorpio, Cancer, Leo and Libra. That leaves Gemini, Saggitarius and Capricorn, which are apparently Nera, Gelyan and Sisily respectively.

l first played this in 2011. In the beginning it looked old, sloppy and of poor quality in comparison to other games. As I played however, I started loving it; l loved the characters, the plot, the music, even the graphics (I think they fit the whole thing perfectly). Everything anyone could do perfect is like it's focused in this little game. 5/5 is not enough, but it's all Kongregate gives us. This game has a special place in my heart. Good job.

Just finished it. Best tips I can give is the MLaurie strategy and use 3 time locks and one golden apple. And just keep trying and you'll luck out. You will be happy to be done with this after you get it.
