I wish Greg would be more selective about some of the crap that gets featured. If it's buggy as hell then make them beta for longer until it's done.
Now it's got badges I feel obliged to play....
I might change my mind if it get's awesome but 30 mins in and it's pretty standard.

:o: These Portals are for traveling to the next screen, entering "dungeons", stores, "dungeons" and taverns. hmmm redundant much?

I'm sorry for saying this and the last comment but ( I really hate saying this) the map system is really bad. (sorry) Loading takes a long time and the potions disappear when you buy them.

This game is terrible, potions are not working they just disappear from INV. doesnt heal you at all, now its stuck in a match, the wait bar is full but won't let me take a turn, just getting attacked over & over & says I can't perform that action everytime I click... Wish I could rate in the negative

1/5 - a truely awful game. Long load times, poor controls, impossible starting quests - more badges I'm never going to try and get...

I'm personally against freemium games, but on a free flash site? This needs its own portal if it wants to be successful and i have no doubt going through kong makes it slower than it ought to be. That said, the controls aren't very intuitive and this does not need badges because I don't want to waste my time with this when I could download Maplestory for a better quality MMO, even if I hate it. 1/5 For poor control, major issues, and lack of sense because there are already too many freemiums out there and most suck.

The clickable hotspots to change areas are far too small. If another player is standing on a portal, it becomes extremely frustrating to attempt to change areas without loading their profile instead.
The breadth of classes is amazing but there needs to be more info about their stat progression and skills when making a choice.

Sooooo sloooowwwww in loading new screens the first time round, and no idea where you're supposed to be going a lot of the time. Not a game I'd play for a long time...

So, now I've got the game working. And I think this is the first time I can honestly say, I wish I hadn't.
The map system in this game is utter garbage - It's worse than useless. It tells me nothing I didn't know intuitively. The HP restoration is easily exploited, but at the same time infinitely maddening, because after I die I have to go and clear the level 1 cave in order to restore everything. Skills give no kind of indication as to their damage, and stat contribution is a mystery.
The community interface, similarly, is garbage - None of the commands are in the least bit intuitive for an MMO. There's no kind of instructions in-game for how to use it and clicking the question mark doesn't do a thing.
All in all, this game richly deserves the 2/5 that I'm bumping it up to. I'm not giving it a 1 because it actually works. Sort of.

I wonder if my reviews/comments ever get read. In any case, I'm going to write this comment entirely while the game loads between screens. So, I think that the screen loading takes too long, although it does speed up significantly after you've been to an area once, it just isn't fast enough when exploring new areas. Battle mode is fun, especially when playing with other people, but the use of the mouse to choose actions and targets is not as fun as using a menu toggle with the up down arrow keys and a target toggle with the arrow keys. Perhaps only use the mouse on menu screens (like the stats screen and weapons screen) and have the character move with the arrow keys as well (or give the option of mouse and/or keyboard controls).
I like the game other than those things. Love the options for classes, but would like to choose gender on my own, but that is mainly a style choice. Good job on the game.

This game loads slow and has massive lag. This happens everytime Kong puts badges on MMORP games, particularly with those that require connecting to another site via Kong. 2/5 on Kong. Maybe rated higher on the original server.

Way too laggy, and you have to buy gold??? Uh, no thanks. Not spending a dime of my money for some trashy laggy flash game. 1/5.

The healing items in the shop are worthless. Poison can heal your target instead of damage it. The damage, defense and speed stats seem extremely flawed. There's very little choice of what items to use and when to use them. It's extremely linear in that respect. Overall another epic fail for epic week. That's three for three Greg. This is getting a 1/5 from me mainly because of the flawed stats, incredible amount of grinding and for being just plain boring.

If you're over level 20 without having your account Sacred Seasons account bound to Kongregate, you have to get one more level to earn the medium badge. I'm glad I was 23, so it just took me a bit of White Wolf grind to get this badge. But people over 100 will have a hard time. It's nice to see this game here on Kong. Thanks for uploadig.
