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.

Yup, Life Streams flat out don't even work anymore on Zodiac Memory even though they did in some capacity before. Start the battle and use one life dwindles and I die anyways after a few seconds 3 times in a row now. Done with this game.

A bs difficulty curve for the Zodiac Memory was not how I was hoping to end this game. All of the sudden Life seeds will just stop working after 4 seconds if you get close to beating it or you will beat it and all of the sudden you'll die. Challenge is great but this is just cheap as hell.

So in other words, you give us the zodiac, with an attack that keeps hp at 1, making endurance/hp completely irrelavent, without telling us there's a stat cap *without resets*, or what feeding stones will give... And the "official strategy guide" doesn't even work... So much potential, gone astray...
Boy am I glad he decided to focus on his career.

I followed MLaurie's idea. Went Neraine with Ladon. Maxed out agility first, then power (be sure to unequip things which give you boosts since it counts those towards being at 30). Use Azure Breeze every map to only get dark stones. Honestly, I found two Berzerker Stones to be crazy OP when you also have maxed agility. Other than the bosses, hardly anything could even survive long enough to get an attack off using her sword attack. Wound up being both of the final bosses on my first try at level 20.

With the build below, i managed to kill Zodiac Memory with:
Golden Apple
Life Stream x3
15s invisibility is OP unless RNG stops your auto more than it should and the golden apple as the description says, decreases boss HP to 75%

For the hard badges: Choose Neraine as your hero and Ladon as your beast.
Only put points into agility and power. Max out agility first (30 is the cap).
Feed your beast only dark stones. You're aiming for Beezlebub.
Get Deep Blue (A class) and Grim Reaper (S class) for equipment.
Always make sure to buy an Azure Breeze from the store and use it at the start of each level. You only need dark stones for this build.

I like the style of the graphics but they actually interfere with the gameplay for me - the complexity of the backgrounds and character make it harder for me to see if bullets are about to hit my rider.

So ... I have to choose my next beast based entirely on it's look and name? I don't get to see what attack and ability it has until AFTER I upgrade to it? Then, of course, I can't change my mind unless I start over? No thank you.

Sword is piercing AOE damage that is about double your little bullets. Aside from tough enemies (stationary ones that shoot something at you), I found it much easier to kill with sword.

Pretty music. Kinda fun. Level cap makes it tough if you dump stats into something useless. Hitboxes are far too huge.

I can't speak for the other classes, but the sword is awesome on the Agil-Type girl. It does a massive amount of damage, and you can end up killing most units before they have time to shoot.

This is a game where the screen is completely overrun by enemies, and those parts which aren't are completely inundated by weapons ranging from ball lasers to projectiles to stars which simply appear on top of you without warning or any ability to dodge. Given all of this, can someone please tell me why anyone would ever want to use the sword?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It's okay, seems more like a beta game to me, hit boxes on your character are too big, I think it's absurd there are medals based off of how well you do when there are projectiles that can't be dodged.

Game is fun. The art looks good but is the biggest problem. There is a lot of color in the foreground and background, and with the enemies and projectiles. Sometimes it's hard to see everything and notice enemy shots. You should definitely not have foreground objects obstructing my view, ever.

The backgrounds are too similar to the PC's and make it much harder to track. Long tail on the Beast is useless and makes movement annoying because some people may subconsciously try to protect their animal. Overall feels like a fair but untested game

Oh wow, I remember this game from way back in the day. If you let the overworld/map selection music play long enough, it takes quite an interesting turn.

It's a little bit hard to see the attacks. They fit in too well with the background, and it's easy to confuse them for items or vice versa. Giving them a red outline or something would make them easier to see.

The zodiac memory kills me before I even understand how; the other zodiacs were easy, but then the boss instakills you immediately

The non-battle music for this game is exactly the epic kind of music that you would hear in the Epic Battle Fantasy games.

1->2 upgrade needs 250 stones, 2->3 is 550, 3->4 is 1210 and 4-> is 2670 stones.
In sum, if iou wanna get phoenix or beelzebub you need 4680 stones of one color.

Can't really say its well made, for example
1.The ingredient for recipes was never mentioned available in which stages, making player butthurt to find certain ingredient.
2.Beast evolution have no reference, it is a complete mystery and irreversible, unless you played the game over and over again and make a record out of it.
3.Boss-fight is too luck dependant,there is no clear indication of what attack the boss is going to make, where the attack is going to land, and time interval for boss launching atk is too quick, such as zodiac memory and cancer, I have complete no idea where the rainbow beam is landing or where the storm is coming at me , there are also many attacks that are casted without any prepare action such as Incantation sign attack. Even Pisces are giving huge problem that they are able to cast beam attack in 2 direction, and the atk is casted almost immediately without indication of which direction they firing, making the fight is almost pure luck-dependant

Evidently, the level cap is still 20, which is puny. You will probably reach it long before you are finished, especially on the Nightmare setting. I am restarting because the power stat appears to be comparatively useless, and it really is unfortunate that one must learn these things by trial and error with no way of redistributing anything if you find that you've made some bad choices. Not really a great game as shooters go, but it's fun enough to stick with if you can see past its major flaws.
