I really do enjoy this, for some odd reason, but I think it's important to expound on the following:
Bugs:
1) a dead man can kill you (kick/slice/throw with his head cut off)
2) spearmen who die mid-stab will drop 2 spears even though they only have 1.
3) a pairing of archers + 1 swordsmen can have a kick/arrow combo that will not allow you to move.
4) Your character doesn't always turn to face the enemy so that you can attack.
5) in close quarters, you can be kicked but can't always attack.
Bosses:
The third boss was harder... by far... than the fourth or fifth. Put them in order; the kick-stuns from out of sword range increases his difficulty dramatically.
The second boss, however, deserves kudos: it requires a thought process; select a distance, pick up a spear, time the throw, etc.... the rest simply rely on better reflexes/distancing and could use some more innovative work. This could really be a decent game with some work.

If you guys are having trouble hitting people, listen. You have to be about a character length away for a good attack to register. You can't necessarily hit someone when they're right next to you.
For an easy kill, try kicking the guy first, and then swiping with your sword. Don't forget, use crouch (the D or down arrow buttons) to block arrows from archers.

the stage two boss is easiest. just press down to block and you will pick up his spears and he won't be able to hit you while blocking.

Needs upgrades. Or power ups. Perhaps different weapons? More moves. Also, it reminds me of Warlords:Call to arms. I feel like one of those dudes on a straight rode to death.

control of your attacks seems really crummy and enemies are able to attacke you when you are right next to them but you can't hit them. Poor move selection and no upgrades even though levels get harder.

Good game. But What the shit. lvl5 boss plus TWO bowman. Wtf. Computer can be really stupid somtimes too. how come no weapon upgrades. comp keeps getting better and your char stats crummy. 2/5

Is there a pause button in this game? I'm not seeing it if there is, and if there isn't there really should be.
The fighting system is a little clunky, but I like the idea. The music in the menu is really pretty. Achilles might not have been the best choice, because he was invulnerable except for, of course, his Achilles heel. How about Hector instead?

there is no consistency in these guys killing them, i will hack at 1 guy 10 times to kill him, then kill a boss in 3. Drives me nuts

also was granted random health gains while being hit with arrows. i doubt that was intentianal. another downer was the archers who can shoot me and kick me while they are dead. there was a lag where archers kept fighting for a few seconds after death. archers also had the odd abilty to shoot extremely quickly while other times would not shoot and just take the stabbings with no fight back. this game has the potential to be a favorite but there are too many damned bugs.

that was terrible. i only played longer then 5 minutes because i wanted the badges. the damage done and received was completely sporadic. there were times when i would see no enemies for minutes and then see ten with in 5 seconds. there was no smoothness or set skill levels. in survival some enemies would sit there and be killed without fighting back and others would randomly be amazing. this part is random but i found it odd that the ships would move slower when i walked to the left and would move faster if i walked to the right. its the other way around bobo. i also hated the archers who can shoot u from off screen. how are we supposed to deffend ourselves. i

I play all kong games well at work and this cant pause so when i have 85 kills with 3 lives left... and i have to work for 5 mins... Game Over :( Please add a pause and archer still shoot once their head is no longer attached. 3/5

Needs some work - combat gets tedious fast, and has some bugs - god forbid you finish an attack while standing really close to (overlapping) 2 enemies - prepare to be raped for 50% of your life bar. Should get more moves, perhaps the combos from slain bosses?

the overall lack of control is very frustrating. the amount of damage that you do when you hit with your sword ranges from basically nothing to a 1 hit kill.
Other than the control issue, it looks good, the death effects are pretty cool, and the sound/music is nice. For me though, gameplay is basically everything, so this gets a low score.

I'm glad I earned a chance at the Fallout 3 Raffle. I probably won't waste any more of my time trying to acquire these badges, as the amount of fun in this game doesn't come close to justifying the stultifying pace or the tedium.

This game is annoying. Sorry,but it really is.
As soon as you get hit by the bosses you may aswell go make a drink,maybe they'll have finished pounding you by the time you return. No in-game pause or mute.
