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 ****" 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.


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.

I was trying to make Orichalcon, but it wouldn't let me make it. I double checked to see if i had the right items, and i think the problem is that i had a stack of 18 lesser magic orbs.
