Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky Even on native windows Slj, the timing of the scrolls is very harsh indeed, and you pretty much have to know them in advance and be very familiar with the timings to get through them, which for some of the longer scrolls can be a pest. Likewise, enemy spawning I didnt mind so much as the fact that sinse you dont even have a way of checking if you have visited an area before, you spend lots of time wandering around in dungeons and retracing your steps, which could probably be cut if the exploration was a little clearer, I get that the developr didnt want a coordinates system or anything to make navigation too easy, but I dont think a have I visited here before key is too excessive.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky Hi.Thank you all for the posts.There are a couple of things that are putting me off slightly from buying the game.Firstly, as dark said, I would like to have a key that tells you if youve been here before. I often find myself wondering aimlessly with no idea if ive visited that location before trying to find something that I know is there. I also dont like the fact that you have to be exact, and I mean exact, with the scroll timing. I think this needs to be slightly more forgiving, especially with some of the longer srolls, and for people who are playing on virtual machines or have slower processors.I would also like to see different ways of fighting rather than just using dragon scrolls constantly, as that gets a bit repetitive and old. Maybe some sort of weapons or equipment system. You can roll dice, but I dont use that very much because I find it to be ineffective on the higher levels.

Its very easy to get lost in those areas, especially since there is no way of setting markers or a have I visited here before key.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky Dicey proposal. Personally, I say download the game and try it in demo mode. If you like it, buy it. If you dont, then dont. You will get many many hours of the same sort of action you got in the demo. The story does go in a lot of directions, and parts of it are good. But now heres where I start waving flags.If youre expecting top-notch dialogue, deep characters and engaging plot, stop right here. Youre going to get basically none of that. I wont spoil anything specific, but everything feels very pallid and shallow. The story has the illusion of length and depth purely because so much happens...and on that front, at least, Ill give the developer his due and say that hes full of ideas.Some of the boss fights are very interesting too, but some of them are downright frustrating. I had some modest trouble with a few of them where timing is absolutely essential, and I was part of a rather lively discussion in which several of the participants swore they simply could not get past certain boss fights. When that sort of hurdle is placed in the path of a gamer rather than, say, something that requires ingenuity or cleverness to solve, it leaves me, personally, with a sour taste.For all those things, however, Paladin is basically the first RPG of its kind. Its long, it will let you grind to your hearts content if thats what you like, and its got a lot of different enemies in it. The music is really quite good, the areas are surprisingly big and confusing, and if the story is a little on the shaky side youll probably forget about it while youre exploring and finding items.In a nutshell: this is a flawed but fairly solid prototype, and sets a benchmark for future developers to jump. I bought the game and I dont regret doing so.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky @Jayde, I take your point on the dialogue, although for me the main inequities in the plot were more the moments when you ended up having random stuff happen that seemed more there to get you into a specific area of the game than because it made sense with the over all plot and characters, but I could appreciate it for what it was. What bothered me more was the lack of environmental descriptions, after all what is the point of having a hole bunch of enemy names when you have no idea what a fat murderer or a scarlet thief actually is. That being said there were some really quite unique sections, and I did like the effort to tie dream sequences and in particular Rosss back story to the main plot of the game, which worked especially well with the high quality of the music.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky The only two frustrating Things I have seen so far is the following:1: Totally random enemy spawning, even if you have visited the area before. It can be quite frustrating in some areas if you just wanna explore, take a few steps and suddenly an enemy pops up Again.2: On the virtual machine Im using, timing the scrolls are very difficult if not nearly impossible. I have to pres the attack key as soon as the beeps are played, not a milli second after or before. I know this is because Im laying this on a virtual machine. Trying to mess around with the sound Card driver is not a good idea. Trust me, I have tried multiple times, and I just ended up by crashing the Whole system.I wish there was a calibrate system for the scrolls. But Im not giving up. It just takes forever for me to do those scrolls right, and its quite frustrating when you have to walk through a very big dungeon to find a boss, cant save the game before the battle, you m ess up the scroll because youre playing on a virtual machine and you have to do it over Again. Yes, you can practice the scrolls which Ive done a lot, but when you have to press the attack key the same milli second as the beep is playing, then I find it very difficult.Otherwise, I still fully agree on what has been said so far.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky I agree with your comments there Briant, however note that firstly some issues arent as bad as you might think. Sinse you have to do the dragonstrike scrolls so often, they soon become second nature, or at least that was what I found, and while some of the tougher ones (especially one character), were pretty hard it was a question of practice and with all the enemies you need to fight you get plenty of that. Likewise, with exploring while the areas were ery large, if you hit C you can hunt for items (around the edges of the casino there are several), and in some of the really huge areas if you need to wander out into the center of a big area there are some clues, for example with the wings, theyre basically set out like a number of rectangles stuck ontop of each other with the steps and teleporter back to the floor of the ship on the bottom one, the teleporter to the next wing up on the top one, and a small gap to go in between. Sinse however the gaps to go betw een the rectangles are all roughly in a streight line, once you have found one you can find others. Secondly, despite its problems Paladin of the Sky does have some pretty major plus points in terms of its plot and story, and at least partly its exploration and environments, and you cant get away from the fact that those are very good things. for me, while I recognize the inequities I decided to buy the game, both because I really liked the good points of what I did! see, and because as Brian P said, I thought supporting gstorm was a good idea, after all considering paladin of the sky is their second game and their first was adventure at C: you can see where things are going, (and thats not to speak of some future upgrades to paladin of the sky).

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky I might have to try it again, I tried the demo when it first came out and Liam was streaming it non-stop. I thought it was pretty bad to be honest. The dialog was mediocre at best, the scrolls were downright infuriating, i mean i had to try the first tutorial thing like a good dozen or so times. I did enjoy the exploration parts but again as discussed by others, some of the areas are too big. My opinion at the time was it felt like alpha software. Maybe this has changed, I dont know if the developer has put in any updates since then but it needs updates if nothing has changed.But to those who enjoy it buying it is not only a good way to support the developer but it is encouragement for other devs to make games. Its cool when a free game is published, and some of them are very good, but we lack really great games, like AAA titles. The best so far is probably Swamp. And Im not knocking the paid offerings like Judgement Day and so forth, they are very good bu t we need really top notch games. That means hard work, lots of time and dedication from developers and this is not likely to happen if people complain about paying for games, everyone else pays for good games, we should too.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky @slj, Mike said that the voices are done with sapi, he means the dialogue in the game. Personally i didnt mind the ack of sound, sinse what sound and music there is is so good quality, however I do wish textual descriptions had been more extensive, the dialogue largely feels in places like reading a game script for a graphical game than playing an audio one, after all do you know what any of the enemies are like or the age or clothing of most of the characters? I do also wish the battle mechanics had offered something else by way of alternative actions, and maybe something with equipment, sinse while the dragonstrike system is very unique in its use of timing in an rpg game, it does sort of grate a little where every battle your walking around hitting with the best dragonstrike you can do every turn. Then again, some of the bosses really are rather unique, and even though i do feel a have I visited here before key would make the exploring a li ttle less daunting, the exploration system and hidden items is pretty awsome. All in all Id certainly recommend the game to anyone, for its story and atmosphere alone despite the problems I mention, indeed Ill be interested to see either if the games developer can iron out some of these issues either in Paladin of the sky in a future update, or in further rpg titles.

Re: reviews for paladan of the sky
Re: reviews for paladan of the sky Ive not heard of any playthrus or reviews, indeed with the game being as long as it is itd be a major thing to do. However, bare in mind there is a pretty long demo version, so you can more than work out whether the game is worth getting for yourself. Personally Id recommend it, for all some aspects felt a little under developed, the story, music, and atmosphere are great.

reviews for paladan of the sky Hi.Does anyone know if there are any reviews out for Paladan of the sky? If not, can anyone make a review, preferably in audio, of the full version of this game? My friend and I have completed the demo of this game and we are interested in buying it, but I would like to hear a review of the game first. If a review cant be made, can someone who bought the game tell me if its worth the money? Thanks.
