Re: Blind Quest 2 - The Frost Demon Now Available
Playing the demo. Here are my findings.
obvious
potential
spoilers
beyond
1. The voice-acting is way too slow and deliberate. It's not a universe-changing great big deal when Nathan finds a healing potion. Also, when I hear something like "Nathan gained experience: one. hundred. twenty. five"...that's kind of annoying. Also, there absolutely must be an interrupt key when you're hearing a description. This makes exploration really, really tedious.
2. I noticed that the Green Hill map wasn't present at first, but just randomly appeared after I went somewhere else, and I have no idea why.
3. Combat appears to be extremely simplistic. Hear attack, dodge in opposite direction, snap an up-arrow, repeat till foe is dead.
4. Story isn't terrible, though I'm h aving trouble making sense of exactly what the hell I'm supposed to even be doing right now. I found a dude who needs a fire lit, and I have a log, some wood and kindling, but apparently that's...not enough to light a fire. There are stones everywhere, snow piles, corpses, ice, and no way to actually do anything with most of them. Did get a nice gold stash from an iron box, and did kill an undead knight. I also found a flower, but when I looked at it, the petal I was touching crumbled. I really hope this isn't one of those games which wants you to explore and will then punish you for doing so.
Overall, this might be worth five or ten bucks, but I'm going to have to get a better fix on what the hell I'm doing before I consider purchase. For now, the demo will suffice.
