SLASHANDZ'S PROFILE

Solitayre:
I hope the review wasn't too lengthy! I had a lot I wanted to cover haha.

When I was exploring, I just kinda kept going North. There really wasn't any indication that I was going down a difficult path.
...Other than all of the game overs. :P
Still, the game was really fun, and I'll probably play it again in the more "proper" order.


Anaryu:
Thanks for the additional details on combat! I was unaware of a lot of these things, especially reduced damage while using melee. A quick tutorial would have greatly helped there.

All of the suggestions for future games seem good. Maybe you could make it more clear where an enemy can see as well? I sometimes was unsure how close I could get without alerting a monster.

As for Magic, I started off with Aura Bolt, which was quickly outclassed. I moved up to the Ice attack, which was lacking range and instant-damage. I then switched over to Gust, which ate my MP waaay too fast.
I finally settled on fireball, which was good, but it didn't seem to critical. The first shot of a bullet would do roughly 100 damage while fireball would do about 29. Add in MP costs, and I was sold on guns.

Still, the combat system is really impressive, and I hope my review didn't serve to belittle this in anyway. Keep up the great work!

Looking forward to seeing the results!
And for "Game Summer-Related-Noun"!

There were two ideas behind the time limit:

1) Assuming people do send me demos and incomplete games, a positive review may be the extra push that gets them to finish, and a negative review may cause them to rethink things before investing more time into the game.

2) I work a full-time job. I really don't have much free time to spare. Keeping the RPGs short allows me to review a bunch in the time frame I have available.

Anyways, thanks everyone for the submissions! I plan to start at the top and work my way down.
That means Solitayre is up first! Looking forward to it. :)

I'm not sure how others define Dating Sims, but maybe because I spent too much time with the VN community I have a different perspective of it. Even though there's no "dating sim elements" like give gifts or stuff like those, as long as you end up with another person by setting up "flags" (aka doing correct choices or doing stuff that would turn on a switch for that person) it's like a dating sim.

Makes sense to me. But which game were you referring to?
