Seriously, was this game even tested before it was released?
A game based on a single powerful warrior should have controls and gameplay similar to that, not "kick swing kick swing" combat. Needs more depth to controls.
Not only is the move pool driveway puddle shallow, the enemies have all what you do and more. So it comes basically to a who can kick the other person first. Even when you kick first, if the opponent kicked at the same time, their attack takes precedence, leaving you stunned for longer, giving them a free attack.
Another horrible aspect, moves do inconsistent damage and attacks are also inconsistent. If I'm going to be playing this crapshoot of a game I want to see a head fly every time I kill.

1/5 complete crap. Just another game that's pretends to be a challenge but is simplymindlessly easy until the occasional completely impossible situation.

I agree with Lapper, if there's two enemies coming at you, you have to take the hit for one, so it's kind of an unfair advantage against Achilles (you). And this game would've have a major improvement if you could actually pause the game. 3/5 For my two reasons I just gave.

Note that this badge is currently a little messed up; you need to die on the final boss if you wish to acquire it. It will be fixed soon to properly award upon defeating the final boss. But in the meantime, you must choose between the badge and glory!
i bet most ppl choose badge and then run

would be nice if there was a bit more depth to the combat system. And perhaps a few more items/weapons. Add that to Achilles2 I suppose. 3/5

I dont like this game, not much difference, and not well build, I was lucky when I was through with the challenge, which is quite easy and will not come back

I found that tapping the direction that you are facing (right or left) and pressing the attack button (not the kick button) will make the spear be thrown.

I don't know why so many people are complaining about the game and saying it's so bad. Probably because they aren't very good at it ^_^;;
I enjoyed it thoroughly. There are a few bugs but what game doesn't on this site? And whoever doesn't know what the pause key needs to learn to be patient and read the directions.

ridiculously horrible game, how come sometimes you kill an enemy in a 1~2 hit basis and in some weird cases they need like 6~8 hits? and also, wtf is the problem with the gangbangers? all of a sudden 4 f'ing guys came, how the hell was i supposed to fight that
u_u
soooo lame

169 kills (normal mode) – Note that this badge is currently a little messed up; you need to die on the final boss if you wish to acquire it. It will be fixed soon to properly award upon defeating the final boss. But in the meantime, you must choose between the badge and glory! ...
Stop complaining about the fact that you didnt get that badge after beating the game if you actually spent the time to read that you would understand that it is impossible to get the badge and beat the game at the same time...T_T

Well there seems to be a glitch where the boss actually doesn't turn up, I've been walking for about 10-15 minutes and no stage boss appearing.

It is possible to keep any single enemy at bay indefinitely with an incessant barrage of well-timed, well-placed kicks. This makes single-enemy combat extremely easy and overly simple. However, if two or more enemies enter combat, you are completely screwed. You are unable to hit both of them at once, you are unable to run away, and you are often unable to move. The flying stab, a move that's incredibly difficult to hit with, barely does any damage at all. One would think that such a move would deal an exceptionally large amount of damage.

Not a very good game IMHO. Play this only long enough to get the badges and never touch this one again. Why this wasn't chosen for hidden treasure week, we'll never know.

no pause
menu's are difficult to navigate
can't choose to throw the spear
boring graphics
inconsitent/random attacks
instructions dont tell you how to throw
glitchy
one time i cut off an enemy's head and he attacked me, then died
inconsistent attack range/damage
terrible time dealing with enemies when you are right on top of them
play speed sometimes gets unbelieveably slow, then fast
im sorry to say iy is one of the worst games i have ever played
shame on you ben oldeing

So after I subjected myself to this painful game and got to the last level which I did not finish. I added the kills total for "normal" mode and guess what? 164 total kills. How many needed for Hard? 169.

Sorry, but this really is a horrible game. Have an archer and warrior come at you, and you're dead meat. Archers can also fire off your screen so you're unaware that you're going to be hit.
