"What? No alternate ending?"

I liked the game overall. The style was refreshing, the music was good, and I liked the combat. The jumping physics, however, were a bit lacking. I found myself dying to jumping puzzles almost as much as bosses, and I was playing on "hard".

What else I didn't really like was the ending. I liked Vandheer, and I liked the fact that he wasn't a good guy. There are stories dating back to the dawn of man that end with "the good guy wins", and I was honestly looking forward to reestablishing the evil empire. When I saw the ending originally, I was a bit disappointed, but I guess I understood. There was enough foreshadowing, you didn't just pull the ending out of thin air.

Then I tried the game again, starting off with the lightning sword (the only one you couldn't get on the first go), and hoping that, since I could actually get all 4 blades and could, allegedly, destroy Blackmist... Well, I was hoping for maybe an alternate ending.

Score: 10

"100% Accurate"

You have captured the exact feelings I had while playing this game. I gave up on level 4, and it was on easy! That game is cruel...

For example, I just LOVE how it turns out the tutorial level is just your dojo or something, and the boss, WHO IS NOT AFRAID OF BEATING OF YOU TO DEATH, is just a friend of yours who is "testing" you. What the hell, man???

I thank every deity from Alla to Vishnu every time I find the resurrection scroll, 'cause that's about the only chance I got at even looking at the next boss.

Score: 10

"Well done, very scary."

The first 2 creeped me out and early in the 3rd one I ended up turning off the sound so I could see the rest of it. And this was in the morning too.
