fronzelneekburm: Got suckered into buying this thing because of the setting (Chinese mythology, that's got to be fun, right?).
My experience with the game has gone like this:
- Start game
- See "Press Shot Button" prompt
- Press Spacebar - Nothing happens
- Press Enter - Nothing happens
- Start hitting random buttons on the keyboard
- It was Right Alt - It's always the start of a great love if it takes you more than 5 attempts to figure out the right key to enter the main menu.
- Check out the main menu
- Oh great, the multiplayer mode isn't online multiplayer, it's one of those "Get a little too close for comfort as you share a keyboard with your buddy"- multiplayer modes.
- Oh great, I can't rebind the keys! WASD for controls and Right Alt to shoot it is.
- Start the actual game
- Art style is nice enough, but gameplay itself is generic, annoying bullet hell (art style aside, it's nothing like Alex Kidd, which was mentioned in this thread).
- Quit the game after 13 minutes (from the looks of the Steam reviews, that seems to be a pattern).
=> Should've listened to the 2-star review! Add to that the fact that you can't even rebind your keys. Another couple of bucks down the toilet.
So the game was disapointing ? thats sad to read.... the game was quite cheap 3.69 euro, so the damage done is limited , with games price below 4 euros i would have bought the game at steam, played it and if it didnt live up to my expectations , i would refund it, if howeer i liked it ,i would by a second copy at GOG, done that before....
The best thing is i only buy small games and casual games like HOG, no expensive games for me at Steam,
i get those at GOG.
You can list this developer/publisher as avoid on a textfile, just keep a textfile or wordpad file and keep track of games . devs and or publisher who published the bad/awful game to avoid buying from them again in the future.
I have a small list for steam with games/devs/publisher i want to avoid ... usually with cheap games i give them 3 chances:
3 strikes and they are out :D .... forever :D
I hope Steam will make an avoid list for the client , to ignore mulitple developers/publisher who develop bad games, or good games but never reply if you have problems, this way those people wont show up in the queue ....
