Company of Hearts

Hi all,

Which I think currently means one subscriber. Heh.

I thought I'd say something about the weapons and items found in Company of Hearts. All of these will appear in the first demo when it's finally made.

Juan:
Sword- The sword can be used four different ways and is set to the 1 key. Pressing one on its own will make Juan perform a stab. Pressing the 1 key with the arrow keys will have Juan perform a horizontal swing that spreads damage across three spaces. Holding the 1 key will allow Juan to perform a parry move that will result in a powerful vertical swing once the 1 key is released.

Flashboots: Equip this to the 2 or 3 key and hold it to let Juan run. Running takes up a lot of Power Points (PP), however, so use it sparingly.

Spider Gloves: An example of the Spider Gloves in action can be seen in the "images" section. Equip it to the 2 or 3 key and use it to climb vines.

Whip: Equippable to the 2 or 3 keys, the whip allows Juan to attack enemies that are 2 spaces away from him. Beware though, the whip is useless against enemies that are too close.

Volk:
Axe: The axe operates in a similar way to the sword. Pressing 1 allows Volk to swing the axe vertically. Pressing 1 and the arrow keys together allow Volk to swing horizontally. Holding 1 will allow Volk to parry, and releasing 1 will let Volk perform a spin attack.

Power Bracelets: Equippable to the 2 or 3 keys, the Power Bracelet allows Volk to move heavy objects.

Punching Gloves: Steel-enforced gloves that stun enemies. Equippable to the 2 0r 3 keys.

Bombs: It wouldn't be a Zelda clone without em. They can be placed or thrown by pressing the 2 or 3 keys.

Thanks to Ashes of Emerald for the idea on combining buttons and to Avee for the knowledge about hold and release attacks.

Let me know what you think,
