Swords and Souls is one of the best games I have played. I rate it 5/5 becuase the combat is great, skills are great, and even more, I love the fact that you don't need to farm easy levels to level up and get more skills. Instead, you can just train and easily get stronger faster. Argl, I will not forget you.

The ending is soooo bad... It's a good game, but damn, give us a plot! Beating this game is so anticlimatic... But good gameplay though.

For critical training use sound as well, when you have to click it also gives a lighter noise as opposed to when you should not…
For dodge training, the scarecrow flashes white, when you need to click for a perfect

Something that helped me with the critical training: Move your mouse to the scarecrows top hat, it makes you look at the area instead of using muscle memory.

You should make it so we have an option to wield a bow instead of just a sword, will make the "Ranged" skill more useful

Fair enough SoulGame, and thank you for the updated response to my *long* messages back, it means a lot to me that you read them. I don't have a problem with dev's going with steam, they do get a lot of purchases overall, but I just couldnt' believe it was gonna be "Oh just use steam for only this game and you should be fine. I simply wanted to point out that's not fine. As it seemed at first you were just going to go with steam and you'll trrryy to release it elsewhere (but knowing Steam they will want exclusivity...) anywho that's AWESOME that you will have an alternative for people have problems with steam or don't want to use it. BTW, GREAT GAME MATE!!!Really, some very carefully thought out, crucial detailsl; truly well done. 4.8/5 :)

ANYWAY, I'm not here to preach, just simply offer my experience in hopes that you will re-consider at least SOLE distribution through steam, so it can be made available WITHOUT the steam platform (I tried to run Minecraft through steam, nothing but problems, actually had to reinstall both... luckily I'm computer savvy *enough*) But good luck I doubt they would take a deal like that but I put it out in another form in addition to steam, or just say sorry steam. Anyway, best wishes with your great game you honest made in an amazing amount of time! Oh how I'd like to pick your brain about like 25 different aspects of this game! Truly a work of art! I'm sure you will do well whatever you decide. Caveat Emptor :)
Thanks! Don't hesitate to bring up stuff you wanna share about the game, that's always cool (in PM, comments, or mail). Don't worry for us about Steam! And don't worry for you, we'll really try to set up another buy portal.

Go ahead and try Steam... I point out Of Guards and Thieves and how that died when it went to steam if I must use examples.. Just my 2 cents.. But you will make much more off loyal Kong fans than Steam kids who, in general tend to only buy when something is highly discounted, or when they have "used" their parents credit card (which is a slippery slope as it is).
I love the Kong community, I am a part of it as player and dev since around 7 years. I do hope kongregaters who loved my games will follow me on Steam or elsewhere without feeling betrayed :)
(Of Guards and Thieves sold 30k copies, that doesn't seem bad...?)

Please don't put Swords and Souls 2 on Steam! I really would buy it, but not if its through Steam... Horrible, no, non-existent customer support, and they over-extended themselves like 8 years ago and tried to do so many things they became like LESS than mediocre at A LOT of them. Just say no! (to Steam!) (To respond to SOULGAMES response, SOULGAMES said: "First of all thanks for your support! I think there will be other ways to get the game if it’s possible. But in my opinion, even if you don’t like Steam politics or services, installing it and buying a game on it, will work without problems :)." Unfortunately this is not the case. Simply having steam on my system has caused problems, not mention just LOGGING IN to steam has caused me many problems, and I'm not the only one. Please do not just skim over my comment with a apparent "simple answer" when the problem is far from simple...
I'm not skimming, it's just not the place to complain about Steam bugs :p As an indie dev, I just cannot go without Steam. It's pretty much the only way to earn a decent living. Sure, there are plenty of debate about how super low sales are bad for indies, what Steam policies have done wrong, etc. I'm aware of those. But it doesn't change that it's the only viable way for us. Anyway as I said, we'll most likely offer an alternate way to buy S&S2 on our website by example, for all those who don't like Steam.
