i dont know about this game, this was THE game that made me buy a PS3, i've seen several interesting games before but no real console seller. Then i saw this, wow. This looks freaking sweet. Something like max of diablo and zelda. And i love me some diablo. Then i played it, the first few weeks i was mindblown. Now when i've let it sink in i find somethings that really bother me.
BAD
- Selling items, why can't i do that, i find so much garbage please let me sell it.
- Why do arrows have to be so expensive, this would have been made a lot better if you could sell items.
- World 2,3 and 5.I dont like them at all. 3 is bordering on ok, but i dont like the second level of it. 5 i just plain bad. It looks ugly it's annoying and just overall crap. 2-2 is a pain in the ass and so is Flamelurker.
- Targeting, i really hate the targeting, especially if you are a spellcaster and you cant target the person you want to fire at, i'd say the targeting is almost as bad as in Crackdown. Except in crackdown you dont have to backtrack as much when you die.
- Controls; Some really annoying controls, they feels loose and slippery, i dont know how many times i've died becuase i've tried to drop down a ledge only to "slip" further down.
- Classes, why bother having classes if any class you pick can do the same later on. I like static classis like diablo, baldurs gate, guild wars, mass effect, etc etc.
- Several of the worlds seem incomplete when compared to World 1
- Multiplayer, i liked the leaving messages bit, but i dont see why you couldnt team up with a friend if you really wanted to
- Blue messages, why can you only offer help, but not ask for help?
- Spells i felt that there is not enough variety
on to bad bosses
- Phalanx, reminded me a lot of that boss from zelda, Arrghus from ALttP and Wart from MM
- Flamelurker, go to hell
- Fools Idol, targeting here was a real pain in the ass, first with all the prisoners in the way, and still even after killing them targeting was annoying as hell, as sometimes it wont register and sometimes it targets the wrong copy.
- Old Monk, this fight was too easy
- All the bosses in world 5
on to the
GOOD
- World 1, wow mind blow, this world was huge and it looked nice, really medieval. Nice views good use of colors and great enemies. I felt this was also the most developed world
- World 4 while it did not feel as developed as World 1, i still liked the look of it, it was quite open great enemies and a world full of great bosses.i like the run-down look of it. Only had some irritating moments, storm beasts. ARGHH
- Combat, i liked the combat, with its strategy, blocks, rolls and you have to keep an eye on your stamina
On to good bosses
- Tower Knight, especially for a melee character was pretty cool and he was HUGE
- Penetrator, great fight especially for melee, his sword was awesome
- Old King Allant, that fight was intense, Flamelurker intense but far from annoying as hell.
- Armor Spider, this was the second boss i defeated, was cool but i died several times before i figured him out, a bit easy with a spellcaster
- Dragon God, the fight was pretty great, and nice change from the regular ones. and this guy was even bigger than Tower Knight
- Maneaters, again a pretty intense fight, did not expect a second one.
- Adjudicator, the fight wasn't very special but the design of him was pretty cool
- Old Hero, this was a fun fight, pretty intense, sneaking up on him stabbing him a few times, then pray he doesnt find you
- Storm King, another cool fight, the weapon you use is really epic
I did not find the game very hard at all, except for flamelurker which i had to call for help for. If you grind enough some of the levels/bosses become quite manageable also for people that really get stuck can always use a walkthrough. It's not hard like old NES games, like mega man and other types of similar games.
I like the game but i have a few problems with it, problems that great levels and awesome bosses can't fix, and that is with some of the basic stuff with the game. Therefore it gets a 6.5/10
