Soldier's Quest 1.4 DEMO

[Antifarea]

[DISCLAIMER]

[color="#FF0000"]This is a game i made back in 2002, it was in spanish language, then now in 2007 it was just sitting on my computer, then i decided to translate it and do some sort of remake, while keeping the old look, but just better. To know about the version update of the game, please refer to the What's NEW section below... if you decide to play this DEMO, please if you give feedback, focus on the game itself, the errors/bugs aren't as important as I beta test this game all the time. Also I am looking for talented reviewers to write reviews for Soldier's Quest. Either English/spanish speakers.[/color]



Long ago... In ancient legends, it tells of the existence of powerful dark power capable of destroying anything it touches. Bloodlines, the legendary magic Only known by mysterious owners of a vast and powerful land... the Nox hierarchy.
It is unknown how the Nox, inheritors of this power, could handle such magnificent energy without being consumed by it while casting it. Although They could have conquered the world easily with this power, they only used it to work on making their land the most advanced civilization on earth.

As time passed people became amazed by the Nox's knowledge and power, up to the point that greed took over them and the world was engulfed in the flames of war. As the battles continued, casualties increased great enough for both sides, including members of the Nox hierarchy, causing its ruler to take drastic measures against the rest of the world.

The Nox ruler casted Bloodlines, unleashing chaos and destruction to everything that was across its path, to the point that the world itself would become extinct. But not everything was lost, Seven maidens with the power of Light  reunited and casted a powerful magic in order to seal this malevolent power.

With Bloodlines unavailable the Nox hierarchy was defeated, and their land was forsaken in the dust. From generations the holy maidens were there to protect the seal in order to prevent humanity's greed from causing future catastrophes...
many years have passed after this great conflict making these tragic events part of the past, but not for long, as once again rumors have arisen of the existence of a survivor from the Nox hierarchy.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Great job.

[Antifarea]

thanks, If you play the game it would be nice if to hear more of your opinion.

[Dominicy]

The fact that you have scenes similar to Phantasy Star is pretty neat, but meh, the fact that a few of the face graphics are completely taken from Fire Emblem's a bit of a turn-off.  If I recall correctly, the wyvern knight with green hair was even named Heath...  I probably won't play this until it's done.

One way or another, good luck.  

[Antifarea]

Haha, I'm not ripping characters from fire emblem, as you can note this game is influenced by fire emblem, thats why there are elements from them as well. I mean I like how I created this game, and don't plan to change a thing from it, only improve it in the areas I would like to maybe see better, but that's pretty much it, since Heath is my favorite character of FE I always wanted to see him as a main character for a game, and I happened to found him a place in one of my stories, in this case soldier's quest, since it blends a character well enough for this kind of story.
