Well, I've played the entire game and beaten it, took me about 20 hours total to get everything. (Except the epic and hard-mode only medals) This is quite significant, as I haven't played a flash game for more than an hour since Marduk 2 and 3. Not only did I just play this game, I couldn't put the damn thing dfown. I literally went without sleep for a whole night I was so intent on beating the game. I have a lot to commend you on, it's truly an amazing game, and the fact it's entirely in flash says omething about the flexibility of the platform. So first, I'll just get some complaints out of the way, and they are few and far between.
First off, those text boxes that appear at the top of a battle which you have to click, those are very annoying. Please, in the 4th game, add an option to disable them or make them automatically close themselves after 3 seconds or something.
Next, there were these enemies that scream a high pitched scream in the water map, they were just awful. Please refrain from putting high pitched noises like that in a game, I almost had a seizure.
The story for this game, contrary to what other people have said, feels sort of empty. It's bland (But funny!) and very generic. Then again, this is intended to be a parody RPG, but maybe ignore me. For the next game, if you would like help making a more... "full" story, send me a PM and I'd love to help you out.
The last two game segments, the ruins and the volcano seemed very short in comparison to the previous levels. I kinda thought you halfassed those when you compare them to the detail of the other levels. Then again you may have been on a deadline for this game and just rushed them out a bit too soon. In either case, I hope the next game holds levels that are just as long as the early levels in this game.
Also, the last boss was a little bit tedious, but hilariously it was the boss BEFORE the last boss that was the hardest in the game. I tell you man, I've beaten so many RPG's it's insane, and I've NEVER had as much trouble with a boss as I did that dragon. It took me 7 tries to beat the f**ker, and a total of 4 hours out of my 20 hour playtime. No joke. And I'm not even complaining, it was FUN. Please, keep doing good boss battles like that.
I love Halcyon's music, she's very good at what she does. Did you make all those animations yourself though? If possible, there's one single animation I could really use for my game and if you could PM me about it, I'd really appreciate it :)
Now, other things I wanted to bring up. I love the perfect balance you've made with the leveling system in this game. Unique recipes to forge every weapon, unique abilities and functions for every character, nothing is extraneous, everything can be used. The level 30 limit was perfect. I literally hit level 30 when I beat the dragon. I didn't have to tediously grind, and I wasn't OP at all. In fact, I was at the perfect balance for normal mode. Hard and Epic mode I'd assume are ridiculously hard in comparison (I shudder at the thought of going back and fighting that goddamn dragon on Epic difficulty xD) but normal mode strikes the perfect balance. I have to really commend that.
Artwork, did you make all the maps individually? Are you using a tileset you made or did you actually draw these maps out? They all have their own great look, the animations are utterly fantastic, etc etc. I've never written a review as long as this one (I'm actually running out of space xD) but this game is pretty freaking fantastic.
10/10.
