I felt like I should give my opinion on this.
[quote]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 repetive?[/quote]
The gameplay is rather fun at first, but can easily get boring,
due to the numerous Give Ups required to get everything.
Stealing with Phodom and Galeoth in chapters 1, 3 and 4 is also
very annoying, due to your overestimation of their Agility.
Most RPGs don't (and can't) steer from 'too much killing', so I
won't talk about that.
I liked the magnificent and well-made bosses, but most of the
time I can't stand the numerous bugs.
[quote]Terrain - What do you think about the terrain? Is it eye
candy or not? What you believe is the most beautiful place and
what should be improved.[/quote]
I can't comment on this, I rarely cared about graphics in games
anyway.
[quote]Atmosphere - What do you think about the atmosphere of
the campaign? Too funny? Too sad? And does the music make the
atmosphere better?[/quote]
I've got a feeling that you're trying to mix and match both a
serious story and a funny atmosphere into the game (I'm looking
at you Fradz), unfortunately I don't think it's done well
enough.
[quote]Story - What do you think about the story. Is too simple
or confusing? Is it mysterious and complicated enough? What is
your favorite character?[/quote]
Won't say about this yet, due to the incomplete story.
Just a (rather) serious issue: Fradz's overt immaturity has,
like, totally ruined the atmosphere and the story for me.
[quote]Cinematics - What do you think about the cinematics. Tell
what is the worst and the best cinematic and why.[/quote]
I almost never bothered to watch cinematics, because the
dialogues drag on for far too long and need to speed up (I can
comprehend all the texts in, like, 30% the time which the
dialogue shows, and I actually finished my entire homework while
simultaneously watching the cinematic which is shown after
defeating Talloon!)
[quote]Bosses - What do you think about the bosses at the
campaign? Are they challenging, balanced, different and unique
enough? What is your faforite boss and what boss could need some
improvements?[/quote]
Most bosses were nice and at the same time different from each
other, but there are, well, exceptions:
- Zombie Hax. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but his carrion
swarms hit too fast and hard, even on Easy difficulty. But the
worse thing is that he continuously throws it at a blazing
speed, and it can kill Fradz in a few seconds, so I always had
to put him out of that battle. And, despite the harrowing fight,
he didn't give me any item.
- Slurgal. The boss wasn't very hard on its own, but that's not
the problem. Instead, it's because Prospero, Jinx and Amaranth
were too frail. I know that you're supposed to keep healing
them, but this is just ridiculous, as they can't drink potions,
and Shield of Fire and Prospero's heal are not enough. This
makes getting the Medal of Heroism a truly harrowing experience.
- Icy Berserk Troll. Hits hard like hell, and a rather nasty
stun. At first glance, it doesn't look so bad. But the worst
thing about him is the Ice Stone. Stealing it from him is very
difficult and life-consuming, as he has a rather high steal
resistance for Galeoth, and he's ranged, not to mention the
stun, which can take out a large chunk of Galeoth's health by
the time he reaches the boss. And yet, you can't just ignore the
Ice Stone all along - it's the component of a set required for
one of the best items in the game - Dragon Buster.
- Vampire Lord. I don't think I need to say much about him -
other people have done so too well.
[quote]Diffculty - What is your opinion about the difficulties.
Do you think the difficulties are balanced enough or do they
need improvements?[/quote]
-
[quote]Would you recommend this campaign to your
friends?[/quote]
HELL NO. Simply put, it's still far too buggy to be enjoyable by
the general audience.

Yes there's a problem with stealing chance and I'm going to
create an item that increases the steal chance for chapter 4 to
balance things. I hope that's enough.
About Fradz, when I read books I love characters who are
humorous but there's something behind. Fradz is a typical
character who plays a stupid but is something more than that
under the skin.
This is typical dialogue of Fradz mixed with a serious matter.
F: Finally! The ghosts are defeated and their souls will move to
the next life trough the Life Link!
F: Ups, I think I just slip something. I hope no one heard that!
F: Anywyay, I'm a hero of Balgaron! Oh heck, why not entire
world!?
F: Okay I guess this it.
?: The fooling has become a life habbit to you these days.
F: More I fool more I become one... Wait a sec. Where is this
going?
?: This is probably the last time when you can screw around.
F: That is shame... The fun can't last forever.
There's a well thought history history behind Fradz and why he's
like that. It will be eventually explained.
I'm not sure what I should do with Zombie Jack.
So what should be done about Slurgal battle?
Okay I will reduce ice troll stealing chance.

[quote]So what should be done about Slurgal battle?[/quote]
Buff Prospero, Jinx and Amaranth, and make them actually able to
survive Slurgal's attacks. Their fragility, as I said, makes
earning the Medal of Heroism very harrowing.
[quote]I'm not sure what I should do with Zombie Jack.[/quote]
Give that Carrion Swarm skill a cooldown, and make him give an
item. It's rather strange how the hardest miniboss in the entire
chapter does not give any item, seeing his difficulty...
[quote]Fradz is a typical character who plays a stupid but is

Still, he's just too stupid. His intelligence needs to be
improved.

I'll see what I can do about those two things.

Or he plays stupid. For example, let's take a character who I
believe many knows. Tobi from Naruto. He plays stupid for about
50 episodes until he's revealed to be the antagonist of the
story. Something same will happen with Fradz, you just haven't
seen the story to the end.
After chapter 9 is done then come and say to me these things
again then I'll start to think where I could do a better job.
Fradz's story is revealed then to the player and the chosen
ones.
