After ending the game I wanted to complete all the achievments but I could access the start mission menu anymore, that's a bit annoying. Nonetheless a fairly good game. 4/5

If you found that the game took grinding to complete, here are some tips to make it easier. HP is the most efficient way to use skill points, since each point gives you 2 HP. Try to buy gear with no HP which has the max of its main stat (boots = martial, etc). It's easy to have enough gold for everything if you go back halfway through the game and get 15 gold trophies for the "Double Cash" item. Finally, I beat it with the warrior (easily with 27 unspent skill points) and found maxed armor pierce to be extremely powerful. Every 4 turns you can just strip shields off enemies no matter what the board looks like. Manipulator also seems to have pretty good potential.. but gambler(whatever hes called) was very very painful to play compared to the other two.

My suggestions: Offer a side by side comparison between what you are using and what you might purchase. Make targeting the right back most enemy easier. Allow for the cancellation of special moves and lower the combat frame so the health bar is still view on the top row enemies. Plus what others have mentioned. An very enjoyable game otherwise!

It's ridiculous that there are 3 enemies that still kill me in 3 turns and I've been grinding away for several hours.

For 2019 botd I noticed that we're unable to go back and retry the final battle should we only get silver. this is a bit annoying as it makes the gamewise achievements such a massive grind. Fair enough though. All in all a neat game.

As others have said, the grid is far too tiny for this type of game. Any turn spent healing or guarding is honestly a wasted turn, since the point is to win as fast as possible; a turn not killing an enemy is a wasted turn. The art is splotchy, even on the highest quality, and not in a "oh, comic book style" way. There were good ideas here, but some bad implementation.

The premise and basic mechanics are AWESOME, but there's some tweaking to be done.
Firstly, more clarity as to how chaining multiple types of attacks together works- some kind of blatant 'instructions'. Maybe make it so you can switch in new gear by just dragging it to the slot. The end was pretty grindy, imo.
The BIG thing is, though, that- like others have mentioned- the 3x4 grid is too small considering the various tile types. You have 6 different 'normal' tiles, and 1 power tile for multichains. that's 7 tile types in a grid with 12 spaces where the mechanics are Based Upon chaining things together.
Click boxes for switching between enemy targeting should be a bit larger. Trying to click a moving werewolf tail was... not fun.
And a pet peeve, why not have the bonus save unlocked just after one game completion? two seems a bit much, imo. Unless the 2nd is different in some way, ofc. The story was nice, though, and i hope to see another, updated entry in this series someday!!

Now that I've played the game through, I highly suggest the Armor Pierce skill as it turns a single tile into a chain to destroy a full armor color. Also, if an enemy is hidden behind another, select any enemy and scroll with the arrow keys.

I do not know what happened but the tech points counter has become so big that I can no longer select anything but my abilities. (I think it grew every time I used my ability, gamble. That or just whenever).

In Chapter 3, Battle 3, it appears to be impossible to select the ghoul in the back while the bat in the front is still alive.

>5 chain
>only takes 2 hits to kill the guy
>3 attacks wasted going nowhere
Shame there was no alt-targeting system enabled to make those wasted attacks his something, anything else on the enemy side.

Hmm, buttons work in both Chrome and Firefox for me. Maybe people need to update their flash or allow permissions for this game to save on local storage?

Ok, so in-game achievements, which are also called trophies and have the same image as trophies, as not trophies. ...That's not confusing at all.

Not everything needs to blink and be animated and whatnot. Tutorial was extremely useless.
I did enjoy the game, but there were so many things ruining my fun not because they were missing but because you added them intentionally.
Sometimes less is more.

You should have the symbol for the corresponding damage on the opponents health bar. some of use are not good at seeing colors.

It works on firefox, and has an interesting set of mechanics. It has minor flaws (grid should be a little bigger), but it's still a good game. 5/5

The buttons in this game seem to be very broken. I've repeatedly gotten stuck at victory screens an in the store because the continue or exit buttons don't work.

Buttons don't work for me, in fact, it makes the whole kongregate page acts funny while on this game, using Chrome OS on Chromebook 11, never had these problems with other games

the tech point counter in the upper left corner get duplicated due to a bug. the duplicate then becomes larger with the amount of games played. The text field that displays this number is also solid, meaning that you cannot click through it. In the end, I had to reload the game because the text field became so big that it stretched over half of the game field and because I could not click anything anymore as a result.

Anyone else have a problem with any of the buttons in the lower right portion of the screen? Continue, Exit, Next battle etc. All of them won't do anything for me.

Fun game, a bit on the easy side. I got the medium badge with a warrior without even using the abilities or the consumables. I completely forgot they existed.

What the blinking boots?! :D (Firefox™)
Game has quite an annoyance: animations go slow, which is bad not only in too long a time one waits before his own next turn but I am also sure that those very animations would look a roundkick more blasting would they happen some 35 percent faster. I know that speeding them up would've took next to zero effort, thus it's a 4/5, not five.
It's a fun comicnation of Artwork's good and Wasting time.

Completed game in save 1 & 2 with all gold trophies. But gold slot is still not available. Sad, otherwise this game is one of my all time favorites.

At the very least you need to be able to select your target with the number keys, given that you cannot select accurately with the mouse.
