Cendric

I bought this game on a wim, suspecting it will suck. I was pleasantly surprised, by how fun the game actually is! It has quite interesting quests (text based not voiced), quite fitting atmoshpereic music (with more variety than one would expect). The level design is great! There are not only some really good puzzle levels but the overall progression, works really well. You get new spells to unlock new areas and with them new plattformer elements. New weapons feel great, since the spells depend on the weapons so a new weapon can really have a great impact! On the downside, the animations (including fighting animations and jumping) are not that good. Its a bit of a shame, since it drags the whole game down a bit. There are such good plattformer levels with a variety of interesting elements,, but the jumping just does not feel good. There are also several different looking weapons but they all feel bad, since the attack animation is not good and their range is too short (and they don'...

There are a couple things to like about the game, but there are a few things that I really did not like. Overall, I did not find the first ninety-minutes enjoyable. Truly, the quality here does not feel like a $10 RPG, with no voice acting, limited music loops, poor dialogue writing, and unfortunate level design challenges. The game is a mix of platformer with not-great floaty-jump controls, and an RPG with dialogue that is terribly cliche. The designers wrote their own game engine, which - yeah - that's great, but it maybe took away from the rest of the effort. This is obviously a passion project for some young game developers, who used their chat-aliases in the game credits, so I feel awful poo-poo'ing their efforts. I just feel compelled to say that there are some exceptional $10 RPGs on steam, and Cendric does not compel me to play it over the other titles gathering dust in my library. I tried Cendric with an old ubuntu linux computer with radeon mesa graphic drivers. Cendric had...

Edit: I beat it in 17 hours. That was doing every single quest I found. Everything I said below is still true, but be aware that some sections of this game are extremely tough (especially [spoiler]tower 3 & 4[/spoiler]). I think those parts are a little too unforgiving with the slightly clunky keyboard controls. Those sections took many tries and many near-ragequits as I learned the exact pixel to jump from or the precise moment to start running past a swinging blade. Something that may help is to [spoiler] use xpadder and a controller for the towers, since magic is disabled anyway. It's all running, jumping and the occasional melee swing[/spoiler]. The ending boss fight is somewhat convoluted and has some annoying elements to it, but was fairly easy once you figure it all out. ----------- I've been playing for about 3 hours so far and it is quite fun. The jumping is floaty and the combat a bit clunky, but I have a high tolerance for clunk if the game is otherwise good. You walk ...

i like it . smart platformer jump

I found this game to be quite quaint and enjoyable. For what it is, I give it an 8.5/10. Before you read this review further, know that this is a keyboard/mouse platformer, but I went through the whole game using a complex Joy2Key profile allowing me to use a 360 controller for most common actions. Pros: -Fun RPG elements, lots of customization for your character's gear and ability -Platforming proved solid and enjoyable -Puzzles proved solid and satisfying to solve -Bosses are enjoyable -Decent music -Lots of map markers for warping -Difficulty ramps smoothly, with just a few spikes that take some real practice/figuring it out -Most levels have enjoyable designs, and you always have a map for the level Neutral: -No experience/leveling up, just better equipment/magic -Combat isn't bad, but there isn't much depth to what tactics you can use -Too many items and consumables (see incoming con) -Quests are fine but sometimes not clear what the next step in the quest is -Story is servic...

Excellent rpg/platformer with great music. Very reasonably priced too. For the short time ive tried it I agree with other reviewers that it's a fun game and worth picking up (if you havent already done so). My only hope is that they introduce controller support because for me, I find the keyboard a bit cumbersome. Especially in the platforming area's with jumping. Overall a great purchase. If you like retro style rpg/platform type games this could be up your alley!

I haven't played much of this game but the parts i've played are so fun! The music is a high point that provides some serious emotional depth to the story. The gameplay is solid and the rpg and platforming elements meld well together. I'm looking forward to playing much more of this game!

(^_^) - (^_^) - (^_^) This game - Like old good Gothic (1-2) - atmospheric music, which makes it possible to recall childhood. It is a pity that such a small choice of languages.

Don't bother buying this game, its a mediocre platformer with a mediocre story, mediocre controls and gimmicks that will have you angry as hell the only plus side is while the game is cheating thousands of bullshit deaths to pad game time, you dont lose anything expect what items you use in between deaths. The game has basically nothing to it, and unless the dreadful controls and the insta death gimmicks are removed it just isnt worth playing, the story is also way too short, the side quests are dull and feel forced on you rather than being "side" quests. There is no leveling system, damage and defence is modified by permenant use consumables or equipment, not that it matters much, the enemies are scaled so high that you will garenteed need to use a potion every two or three enemies assuming you dont touch the outermost pixel of the side of a set of spikes and die, wasting any consumables you used in the fight, i eventually stopped bothering to use them, and just sold them, by the ha...

This is basically Gachduine: The 2D Version. If you like 2006-era Newgrounds flash games with MS Paint 13-year-old anime art, horrific controls, awful platforming, a clunky fighting system, and all around terrible game design, then this game is for you. Everyone else who expects a $10 game to have, you know, QUALITY, this is not for you. Good god...
