Would definitely be nice to let me use different key setups, so I could perhaps use both hands instead of having to switch between keys and end up dying because my finger went one key down and hit the windows button instead of Z.

This game would really benefit from block, dodge, and/or dash commands. Perhaps block with the shield, dodge with dual weapons, and dash with the heavy weapon?

"c" and "v" should be replaced..spells are used more frequently and while pressing "v" you spend your items by pressing "c" mistakenly

why do does the crowd get bored when I get stabbed repeatadly? If you ask me , if I went to see a sword fight I'd like the one man army to get hurt a little, or maybe a lot.

I never realized how much I hate the "vanishing coin" mechanic until I read these comments. I always just accepted it... NEVER AGAIN

An armory in the colosseum would also be nice. Bit annoying and strange to have to go the shop to equip weapons you have already purchased

Well, after finally acquiring potions that I bought after finally gathering enough of the stupid vanishing coins, I managed to use 5 of them while I was still at full health because I hit C instead of V. Can I pick my own buttons now?

Allow key remapping PLEASE!! Right now we're sitting at a 4/5 for me which isn't bad, but seeing as this is one of the best games of its type I've played on Kongregate, it'd be nice to give it the 5 it deserves.

the whole coins disappearing can be a good idea, but it was not used properly in this game. disappearing coins is good for two reasons, reduces lag, and makes it harder for people to get overpowered quickly. Unfortunately the time that you have to collect the coins, the coins don't pop out of the corpse as soon as you kill them, and the fact that dying respectively on a single level gets you coins completely removes any reason to have the coins disappear. In short the coin system desperately needs fine tuning.

11) You constantly move forward when attacking, making it harder to accurately hit enemies.
12) Strong attacks are useless, since you do enough DPS with fast attacks to overcome the difference.
13) The instructions are tied to the levels, so that you have to sit through the tutorial again if you replay an old level, and you have to go back to an old level if you want to look at a particular tutorial again.
14) Replaying old levels is pointless, since all you get out of them is more money, which isn't needed in the first place.
15) When you lose a level, you lose any items you used during that level.
16) When you lose a level, you're automatically returned to the arena entrance; a retry/exit level screen would be more useful.

there should be an equipment stage befor battle i dont want to have to run all the way to the market and back to change my alredy bought gear

Oh my god I wish I could change the order of the controls. I keep accidentally using the coin collect item when I try to use magic. I neeeeeeeds the spamable buttons to be next to each other.

Does anyone else have the glitch where it says the new spells unlock, but when you go to buy them, they're still locked?

3 : The attack system. I don't care about the small trust when you attack, it's a difficulty of the game, but not being able to turn back while you attack is horrible. You slashing your way through enemies, when either you just pass one and he stabs you in the back, or either another one just walks in (as they're ALOT FASTER than you) and just go "OH GREAT FREE HIT!". 4 : The controls. I'm playing on an azerty keyboard. Having ZXCV to attack is just mean! Example : I'm in the middle of the fight, fully using Z and X. Suddenly I get hit (go ask why). I wanna use my potion, but I press the magic button instead of the object button, and BOOM! I'm dead. Same thing on the otherside. I wanna use my magic, but instead I use the potion. The keys location are just lame. Btw, you should fix this : I used ALOT of potions when I was at full health by wrongly pressing C instead of V. This game could have been great, but this is a failure. I'm sorry :/

Come one developers! Read these Comments! I hate it when you move forward a bit when you attack and why you no let us charge with shield???? :-(

this is ridiculous, too many enemies at once. even if you have the best armor, all the enemy need to do is gang up on you from behind, wish u can buy a partner or something

I was going to give this game a good review until the stupid dificulty curve made me try a level literally 20 times never passing farther than wave 5/6.For crying out loud,3/5.

Way too hard to collect the coins, at least they aren't too valuable since you have to unlock the items in the store before you can buy anything.

After playing for some time.... all i can say great potencial for the game.......
Nothing else, Coin collecting system is just lame (you have to dodge, run hit and collect coins that are dissapiring), uppgrades system is also lame (LET ME BUY WHAT I WANT), and all in all i will give this game 1/5 until i see something change.

if i was to have 1 suggestion i would change heavy attack for charge attack with shield, smash for heavy and for fast a slightly longer range attack

So much potential here, but so many things make it unenjoyable. Bad choice of control keys. Moving forward each attack. Inability to change directions without ceasing attack, pressing direction firmly and resuming. Coin gathering from corpses that take forever to dissipate. Running over several screens to purchase items for no good reason. Having to use the mouse for an otherwise all-keyboard game. Arbitrarily locked items. Useless training. Useless crowd of commentators to run through for no reason.

Uhm excuse me can I go grab those coins real quick, please stop hitting me I'm trying to kill this wizard, so it'd help if you'd stop hitting me in the back, hey can you stop moving so fast I can't move while hitting, hey I can't hit you you're too high up, hey stop charging ple- or just hit me in the face thanks.

Vanishing coins i could care less. But just go the extra mile and let us use arrow keys and enter button so this game is 100% mouse free.

As others have said, the coin gathering needs to go, it's just obnoxious. Also allow us to map our own keys if we so choose, I hate using the ZXCV buttons when QWER or WASD are so much more commonly used. I also hate being locked in a direction as long as I'm attacking. I hate that while I'm swinging my swords, I cannot turn and attack the guy behind me. This goes hand in hand with the movement forward with every swing, as it quickly leads to you moving through your target and being unable to hit him anymore.

Alright I tried to play this game, but I just couldn't. It's barely playable, and hardly enjoyable. 1 : Having to go back and forth to change your weapon is just annoying. Couldn't you have put something in the pause menu (or even in the ARMORY!!!!!) to change the equipment? Not being able to change your weapon when you are facing 4 different types of enemies made me mad. We could have had a weapon we prefer, it changed nothing. You just get stabbed in the back by someone stronger than you and you die. 2 : I'll skip the coin collecting flaw, as everyone has talked about it. But having to actually win a level, with obsolete equipment, to unlock better equipment in the shop, even if you have collected loads and loads of coins made that the second flaw of the game.

Everyone's already complaining about the coin system, so instead I'll just say that something needs to be done about the turning around. Chances are, I don't want to attack some air and then turn to face my enemy. Make the arrow keys more sensitive.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Cool game but terrible controls. I can only equip one item at a time? Silly. Ranged should always be an option even if you have health equipped. That's the Roman way! They used peltists more than legions.
Anyway, it's also very difficult to TURN AROUND in the arena. Please fix this since it matters a lot. Look at other arena games with fast weapon animations and you'll see they always capture your arrow keys so you can face the right direction, even in mid swing. Please fix! :)
