Until The End - New Vid on 4th Page

The battle with the boss is WAAAAY too hard. He keeps on using that Psionic Slash thing on me and killing my characters with one single hit, I drew Revive Etherals from the Soldiors but he killed me before I used them.

Actually, there's a rather simple way of beating him.

First make sure you have a lot of Pure Etherals stocked up. Once this is done and the battle starts, just have Arshe start charging up Siphon energy until he has enough to do Shadow Strike - the boss is weak against Shadow elemental stuff - then use it. It should only take 3-4 Shadow Strikes to kill the Captain. Gwen should be primarily used to cast Pure Etherals.

Hope that helps.

It was pretty cool. But I got stuck on the second slime. I kept using all kinds of shizz on it, but it jsut wouldn't die. I finally got fed up with it.

rofl, nice. Anyway, it's probably that you just didn't fight it long enough, people have told me it has too much health, so I'll reduce it now so it only takes one or two hits to kill it off. After all, it's just a tutorial battle.

It's not a good idea to create a boss where the only effective battle strategy is buy, buy, buy and rely on a single char. Especially earlier.

Hm, you've got a valid point, I guess. However, I don't see where the buying comes in, unless that's a phrase or something.

I'll see about fixing it up.

btw,

zomg!!! new party member!!!

His name shall be omitted at this current moment. (Due to the fact I haven't come up with it yet.)

Here's a few new screens to show progress:



TOP:Hmm... Does he deserve the help? BOTTOM: Flashback


Just a map of the western side of the bridge.
TOP: Just a rest house, they litter the world map for safe accomodations. BOTTOM: World Map Near Multi-Layered Tower City Oristael (as described in the left screenshot)

Comments, crits?

Cool. I'm liking this game so far. I finished the whole demo and loved the draw system and all, but I had one problem with it: difficulty. Really, it was pretty hard for the very beginning of your game. I really had to figure out different ways to get through, which most of the time involved doing things I'm not sure if you meant to have. First of all, I could siphon charge and fully heal outside of battle with Gwen. If I couldn't have done that, then I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere really, especially because there is no experience to be gained to level up or anything like that (I like that idea, btw). Secondly, I could save anywhere I wanted, but I noticed a savepoint towards the end. Again, saving anywhere I wanted was crucial for me to complete the demo. I thought fighting Ruka was too hard as well. It seemed like a joke boss but she was pretty hard. Gwen was out by the time I got through it, and I had no revive ethereals left. I did think however, that the big bug boss was of good difficulty. It might've been because of the ethereals I had (I didn't even have blinding flash), but I found that boss not too hard and not too easy. Overall, keep working on this! Especially since you have more progress than most done.

Thanks much for the review, I have fixed a lot of the stuff you said (I forgot to turn off saving, thanks for reminding me.) and it's with comments like yours that this game will get even better. Anyway, here's a screen:



Shotgun-wielding, gadget-loving, lady's man. Haha. I'm trying to work out a functional ammo system just for him where you can use different types of ammo to do different types of damage... And then I want him to be able to make/summon robots that can act as low-stat party members provided there is space.

[drenrin2120]

Nice, I like them screens! The maps are pretty well done and the style is different but cool.

[Dyne-O-Mite!]

Does the golem's b-char fit in? I think it does, at least somewhat, and it's pretty much perfect for what I have in mind; The guy on top can construct different types of golems for extra-low stat, high health and defence party members as long as there is room. So does it work?

[shadus]

This game is sounding good.As for that golem he dosn't look much like a robot but other than that he fits in good.

[Guy2610]

 The demo was pretty good. But the general boss was hard and the monsters didn't look good. The maps were good to.

[chocobomaster09]

hehe looks nice, tho i think you should have your own custom maps...
those are golden sun maps are they not?

[Meiscool-2]

I think those are just Golden Sun Chips, because Golden Sun maps look a lot better then that.
