Story
Emerald Chronicles, Castor Wars it´s about a legend called "The Emerald Crystal Legend" and about how the world and life were made thanks to the Emerald Crystal energy.
In ancient times the Emerald was divided in three big fragments by a powerful blacksmith and each fragment was delivered to each one of the Three Ancient Clans.

However, it is said that one of those Clans attempted to acquiere all the fragments and a war began, that war was called "The Emerald War", it was a bloody and briefly war that end with the summon of the Three Horned Dragon.

The result of this was the extinction of all the Ancient Clans and the Emerald Crystal Fragments scattered somewhere on earth.
As time passed by, the Emerald Crystal Legend and all related with the Ancient Clans were forgotten or became part of a fantastic myth.

Many, many years later, a researcher from the Catech lands called Dr. Akakios Hoffman fell deep inside a mountain and discovered a skeleton that belonged to one of the Ancient Clans; the Adharis Clan. With the skeleton he found also an epitaph about his life and purpose.
That Adharian had a partner and both were escaping in an attempt to save the Emerald Crystal.

Dr. Hoffman realizes the importance of this finding, but he is unable to search the Emerald fragment by himself due to the wild animals and beasts inside the mountain, he is not a warrior and can´t fight well, so he shall find his way to return to Catech Castle and tell to the King his discovery, he will return again to the inner part of the mountain with an escolt and find the Emerald Crystal Fragment.

When Dr. Hoffman and company found the fragment, it was stolen from him by another person, it is here where Epic Castor (Arthur Gales) has to track down the thief and prevent another "Emerald War".

Castor Wars is BACK!

So, after some time I decided to retake my project, I have many thing to fix but overall I have recieved good critics and people likes Castor Wars game, so the things I´m gonna work are still of the Chapter 1:

- An INN on Kingdom of Catech, since is reasonbale (and I don´t know why I didn´t see this bad detail) the use of an INN.
- A glitch on Kingom of Catech, in wich if you return to the place where you saw two
kids saying "We are kids, we are kids" freezes the game.
- Enemy´s strenght and other status, seems like they are a little hard to defeat right now, so next time they will be more easy to kill :)
- English mistakes, English is not my native language, I will ask for help with local friends who are speak english, if someone here is willing to help I will apreciate it!

Other issues like graphics, regarding characters (main characters), and envoirment (the photocuts) I´m not sure if I will be working on that, since finding someone who knows about that matter is not an easy task, the music will be cover by me, so there is no problem about that.

Anyway, this current demo is playable, but you may find hard times with normal enemies and the lack of an INN, there are english mistakes but you will understand what to do, I´m not THAT bad on english, right?

That´s all for now, have a nice time! Remember the soundtrack of Castor Wars is on my youtube channel, inside the Castor Wars playlist, also I have other works there for other games, visit and subscribe :)

Thanks for the comments and the reports of bugs, really! I´m really happy for the response, but right now I don´t have the time to answer properly, I hope to reply a better post soon.

But again, thanks for all the words and your time for playing castor wars, next version (when I get the time) will be improve much better.

Regards!

Hmmm there was a room inside the castle when you could sleep but I denied the access in the demo LOL.

What I did was to heal all the characters after you went with the King and give you money to buy items and weapons and some chest have potions and that kind of stuff, you will find a heal pond once you reach the cave (the firs when you play as dr. hoff), I will have to build a Inn in the next version haha, sorry about that.

Yeah, I enjoyed the game too--but not having the inn/healing waterfall screwed me.
I was like MR. HOFF--OFF YOUR A$$ AND FIGHT! SOMEONES DEAD ALREADY >:(((((
If you want to keep the difficulty like it is, please consider lowering all monster's AGI. I didn't have this problem until a bit later, where some fights were me restarting the game because I couldn't run and they would one/two shot me.

Also, vampire bat's sphion move hits hoff for 300 to 400-ish. That's too high for the beginning.

As personal problems, I think the game would benefit from a lack of random encounters, lack of early-game grinding with no healer, and lack of skills (because I never got too many chances to use their overlimit skills.)
I would like to save anywhere--but I know that's pushing it.

Heres a few other notes I've made.
- I wish the event where Huff jumps down the hole, would give me a choose to do so. I had to reload to get the chests.

- In the sewers, DR. Huff will tell me we can't go there, yet hes not in the party

- English errors--but that isn't a huge problem knowing the translation.

- A house next to the pug crashes my game.

- I love how you made a city with a lot of NPCS, but a lot of them are
kinda...there and boring. Also, the gardens and parks sometimes lack NPCS, making me think I'm about to fight something.

- The graphics are really interesting. Atlas, there still hit and miss. I found some tilesets that look blocky, or just don't fit. Also, some of the first fights have a 'blocky' fog effect

- One farmhand npc in the town wasn't translated.

- Instead of an inn, why not put a healing waterfall at the waterfall outside of the city?

- It would be nice to see the stats of a weapon/armor. I bought 2 pieces of armor that lowered my defenses--which angered me because of how HARD this game likes to play.

- Useless potions--but you already know that x-p

I'm actually really liking it so far.
Based on what I saw in your first video, I was worried that the script would just be a cuss-laden mess, but it turns out it's only Doc Hoff who swears all the time. It's a bit of a first impression (to the game) hurdle to overcome, but adds to the character's charm.

Anyway, where do I heal in the castle? There's no inn, nothing in the dormitory, and I can't find a heal pond anywhere. I have some powerlevelling to do before I escort the Hoff up the mountain, and the lack of heal isn't helping.

New video on internet about castor wars! In this one, Castor Épico explains features about battle system and Skills.

And here I was thinking CastorOnline was JUST a composer.
Glad to see this posted here. Can't wait to see a translation! :D
