I hope Psuedo eventually starts a Kickstarter or something for the series, that way his talents and this unbelievably fun adventure would get the recognition they deserve.

Excellent game, really. I spent all in all around 150-200hr on this; had to replay once. It's incredible how well made this is, and hah that one dream stone, where Elwyen plappers about Deugan and repeatedly calls him "Deugal", "Douglas", "or whatever that guy is called" - that had me in tears ^^ I had to play this all the way to ~99,5% completion, thx for this great game psudo.. psuedo,. or whatever this guy's called. ôo ---PS only downfall is that [PROFANITY]ing warport and all that running around. I'd have wished to loot some 7-mile-boots at some point to upgrade running speed xP

Unfortunately i did not grow up in the nes or snes time frame because then i would be playing with nostalgia instead of just finding the best game ever! I can't wait till Pseudolonewolf starts on mardek 4 so he can get that much closer to finishing his 8 chapter goal (not sure if that is accurate anymore considering i found that piece of info on the chapter one discription and he is diligently working on one of his other projects at the moment). can't wait but make sure it's as good but maybe not quite as long as chapter 3 and great job on the art your working on Pseudolonewolf may the games you make forever prosper.

Each and every time i saw Donovan "Must be the season of the witch" started playing in my head.
Also awesome game saga. 5/5, favourite game.

@oilgas: I noticed that you didn't even play long enough to finish the Sun Temple... How can you tell if it's good or not if you've hardly even played it?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well worth the years of wait. And, given how much it has improved since the previous chapter, I'd be willing to wait another three years for the next chapter, for sure! Just one thing: it was fine to do for the first to chapters, since they were short, but please don't "revamp" all the previous chapters with each new one - they consume enough time playing through as is - for someone like me, who has to do everything in a game, I'd have to start over each time, and that would, though it might be fun, be horrible.

I agree with the troubleshooting thread possibility (+1'd), though I have to say that I have found no bugs that would have prevented me from completing the game, or at least ones that would be very annoying.
Another note: there was some controversy with the Miasmal Chalices (do I remember the name correctly?) not being acquirable later in the game. A lot of people made comments, and the encounter rates were almost immediately increased for temples that are cleaned.

Only 34,000 people have actually finished the Sun Temple? That's the like the amount of people that are currently online... Pseudolonewolf must be feeling like his game is being dissed. :(

the fact that this game is on the 7th page of kongregate is an embarassment to the kong community. this game would easily be marketable as a console rpg (considering that it is better than most of the trash that gets labeled 'rpg' these days) and is clearly the single greatest game on kongregate (a website that has games made by actual game developing companies (eg: outernauts)). the point i'm trying to make here is this: props to pseudolonewolf, you are truly an artist among people who just want to make a cheap buck.

Nearly 3 years of waiting for Mardek 4.... Oh, how long should I wait? Oh, I don't care, as long as got my Mardek, I will wait even for 5 more years xD.

By far the best flash game I've ever played. I've never spent over 40 hours on a single flash game before, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am even choosing to play MARDEK over games that I have paid actual money for. Pseudolonewolf you are amazing and you have almost ruined all other flash games because if 5/5 is the highest the rating can go, I don't think any other game deserves to be on the same level as this.

I just made a small but significant update... Apparently an ally later in the game was unable to properly join your party, so it'd be a good idea to refresh to make sure you're playing the latest version...

I haven't played Final Fantasy so when I play it I'll be sure to let them know that they have obviously completely stolen everything from the Mardek flash game series. Great game as usual! :D

I kinda get the feeling he made the water temple an intentionally arduous puzzle in homage to the infamous water temples from Legend of Zelda. :P

i would just like to say that though i play a few rpg games i don't play many because of how long they can be and much of it involves running back and forth all the time. but this series, well it certainly caught my attention and i have to say i love it very much. i know that pseudolonewolf must be busy so i won't harasses him with it, but i can't wait for the forth installment.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I have not finished, but one thing that I like is how there is so much extra content. For example, Meraeador's inventions, blacksmith's weapons, and side conversations, like introducing members of your party to Mardek's mother, which can get pretty funny, what with the talking dog and the reptillian dude.

Thank you for such a great game, and a great series! This is such an improvement from last chapter in every way. I loved the background from the dreamstones, and the variety of party members is great too, although ever since I got them I've stuck to Mardek-Sharla-Gloria-Zach, I tried them all and I'll try other combinations.
About the game itself something seems a bit off with the spell mechanics. For example, healing spells are reduced by M.Barrier (this DOES make sense and can easily be bypassed with items). Also when I cast any beneficial spell, the reaction skills are applied on your party member, this wasn't a problem until Sharla got the "M+Stun 20%" and when I tried to apply the null air buff to the entire party... half of them were parallyzed as a result. I don't know if this is the way it's intended but, in any case, whenever I'm casting something on my party I don't react anymore :P
Obviously 5/5, and I'll be looking forward to your future games (Mardek 4?). Keep it up!

Some people in the comments here are still acting as if there's going to be new chapters if we just wish hard enough. It's not gonna happen as everyone closely following him knows very well. Pseudolonewolf has long been past the point where he could ever continue Mardek. Even if he will be able to sort out his personal stuff and still want to produce games, it will not be Mardek. The best he's offered is a sort of summarization of how the story was gonna play out, but it's not even likely that's gonna be published as I see it.

it's such a nostalgia trip looking back at my play time and seeing how much time I spent playing this game. shame it won't have a sequel, would love to have played more.

I really do wish Pseudo would release the script (at least roughly) for the rest of this. It is a shame he is not continuing it but that is his decision, however any fan spin offs would just have me wondering what the "real" story was meant to be. As a writer I can understand being disappointed with an old story though; I have a few I wouldn't be too keen on sharing, let alone finishing.

@AlinG49, I would but I need the permission of Tobias Cornwall (AKA Pseudolonewolf) to make it, otherwise it would be already copyrighted and I could be sued.

in mardek 2 im facing a giant death demon named moric with confidence while later running from a pixie in a box. all i ask is what im doing at this point ._.

One of the best,yet most underrated flash games I have ever seen in my life, and will always be a game I hold dear for me.I'm looking forward to chapter 4, even if it releases only on 2018

So many great things about this game! :
1. No politically correctness and characters are very realistic and relatable.
2. So many NPCs to talk to!
3. Super rich plot.
4. So much content, much of which is optional.
5. Great music
I've probably missed a lot, but this is likely one of the only games I would pay for.

I don't know whether to be proud that I killed a dragon after going through 19 other enemies or ashamed that I had to do it by outlasting his mp bar and unleashing scratch damage...
