TitanDeath
By: TitanDeath Date: September 24, 2012, 7:41 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Version: 1.8f-1.8g
1: Poor
2: Fair
3: Average
4: Good
5: Excellent
1) Gameplay - What do you think about the game play? For
example, are the abilities, items and spells fine? Is there too
much killing? Is the campaign too repetitive?
4/5
Overall, the gameplay is very nice. I didn't get bored, nor did
it feel repetitive. You have many original spells and items
which makes it much more interesting. Although as a new player
some things were confusing to me.
One confusing thing was at the Prologue where you pick your
spells. I don't like the idea of picking a spell without being
able to see all the spells that are available to you. For
example, it is much easier to choose spells when you can see how
well each spell synergizes with each other. I had to reload the
Prologue several times to be able to figure out what spells I
wanted for each character.
Another confusing thing was that I didn't know that Combat Kings
maxed out at level 5. I bought about 2 extra ones before I
figured it out.
Also, set item descriptions were a pain. I had the Damanthe set
for about 5 chapters before I figured out that Damanthe's Shield
is part of the set.
I think the last confusing thing was potions. There's nothing
that explains what a X Potion (random number) does. There's a
lot of different numbers of potions. Some riddle questions asked
how much did X potion restore? I couldn't answer that question
because potions restore a %, not a base number.
2) Terrain - What do you think about the terrain? Is it eye
candy or not? What do you believe is the most beautiful place
and what should be improved.
5/5
Really nice terrain, nuff said.
3) Atmosphere - What do you think about the atmosphere of the
campaign? Too funny? Too sad? And does the music make the
atmosphere better?
4/5
I also thought that the atmosphere was pretty nice. I hate how
Fradz would ruin a tense atmosphere with some comment (I would
provide an example, but I need to play through the campaign
again or look through the dialogue.) The variety of music is
also really awesome. I recognized a lot of the Final Fantasy
songs and it made the play experience better.
4) Story - What do you think about the story. Is too simple or
confusing? Is it mysterious and complicated enough? What is your
favorite character?
5/5
The story is really mysterious and it keeps making you want to
know more. It has many tense moments, but also humorous. Can't
really say who is my favorite character yet.
5) Cinematics - What do you think about the cinematics. What is
the worst and the best cinematic and why.
3/5
In the first few chapters, there aren't many text mistakes. As
it goes on though, I noticed a looot of grammar problems (again,
need to look at all the dialogue or play through through the
campaign to find examples). I think my favorite one was when
Phodom's family was murdered. Not sure about the worst one.
6) Bosses - What do you think about the bosses at the campaign?
Are they challenging, balanced, different and unique enough?
What is your favorite boss and what boss could need some
improvements?
4/5
I actually thought that the bosses were really easy (maybe
because I play TKoK). It only took me about 1-5 tries depending
on how complicated the boss was. I also thought it was weird
that you put in the description that you NEED to have give ups
in order to defeat Epic and Elite bosses (understandable for
higher difficulties, but for easy-hard it definitely isn't
needed at all. I'm also not sure where I read this, it might've
been from the Prologue info).
7) Difficulty - What is your opinion about the difficulties. Do
you think the difficulties are balanced enough or do they need
improvements?
3/5
I thought that the game was too forgiving. There are so many
items that revive you, and that isn't including how many lives
you bought. I also never really had any "OH SHIT" moments while
playing against all the bosses. PS: I only played through this
once on normal, and will continue on extreme. So my opinion may
change.
8) All things considered, how would you describe your playing
experience at the campaign? What could be done better and what
do you believe does not need attention?
3.5/5
I enjoyed playing your campaign, but there's still a ton of work
to be done. For one, why add a spell into the game if it doesn't
work? (Galeoth's lvl 2 and 3 spell book spells) Also the amount
of important bugs that needs to be fixed is pretty big. I had to
look at the bug master thread just to make sure that I wouldn't
have any more confusion from all the bugs. This is a huge
problem for new players, as many people would get turned off of
the game and not bother to look into extra detail as to how to
not have problems with bugs.
I couldn't even start the game again from "The End". I had to
use a "Give Up" in order to restart. I tried to load it from the
end for about 1-2 hours before i gave up. Before you even
consider adding more to the campaign, you should really fix the
bugs. I would much rather play a good 2 hour game that is close
to bug free than a 10 hour game with bugs all over the place.
9) Would you recommend this campaign to your friends?
Not with all the bugs. If you fix the bugs, I'll give other
people the info about this game.
10) How did you find this campaign? You might have any hints for
me to bring this campaign more to the daylight? Some sites for
example where I could advertise the campaign?
See question #9. I found this through Hiveworkshop.

Because Aero wants the game to be playable (not necessarily
enjoyable) by everyone, including complete idiots or something
like that.

Because the campaign is not complete - there are still chapters
9 and 10 to finish!

I agree with all your points actually, excellent info here.
The riddle questions are just outdated in light of recent
changes to the campaign.
In general you need to note that the campaign is still in beta.
Aero will likely finish chapter 10 before really sorting out
most of the mess and bugs and stuff.
He has been fixing bugs but it is a long process and boring, so
at the moment development is alternating between making the
current version better, or finishing the whole thing off. And
the other issue is that because there are constant major changes
going on, fixing certain things now could become redundant after
another change anyway.
Anyway, I personally think the bug list needs to be fixed and
soon! Some major bugs in the house you know..

If you want a complete collection of the spells, check out my
Hero Abilities Info Page right in my signature. It provides
additional vital statistics for each spell. Hope it can help
you.

Pretty regular, routined questionnaire. Grammar stands up from
the crowd, but I disagree with your terrain rating; IMO chapters
like 1, 2 and 5 have well-made terrains, but then chapters like
3 and 6 are the common terrains you'll see everywhere (and as
such, whenever I'm in chapter 6, I just want to get through it
as fast as possible; it's very uninspiring overall, I don't know
how it's for you).
AFAIK Aero is paying more attention to the terrain at the
moment, but it doesn't mean it's "excellent" now; it probably
will be, but your questionnaire is for these versions.

I understand why the end option doesn't work, but at least take
the time to either let us know it doesn't work, remove it, or
fix it. There's other things i could've been doing besides
trying to figure out if i can get it to work or not.
You should also at least fix the most important bugs such as
spell and item problems which cause a lot of confusion.
I don't have that high of expectation for terrain. As long as it
flows well, looks as natural as possible, and looks nice, thats
enough for me. There's a lot of rpgs that i have played with
much worse terrain.

About riddle question I think I upated them all. Is there still
problems with the latest version?
[quote]Also, set item descriptions were a pain. I had the
Damanthe set for about 5 chapters before I figured out that
Damanthe's Shield is part of the set.[/quote]
How that was such a pain? Isn't it clearly said at the end which
item belongs to which item set.

I'll remove it for now.

Well, terrain isn't my speciality.

there's a few serious item problems Aero, not too bad compared
to last time.
On the buglist :)

A few? No offense, but I counted 28 item bugs on the master bug
thread and there's possibly more. I wouldn't care as much as a
lot of tiny bugs, but items are also a huge part of the game.
