It would be great...

If I didnt consider every fire slime fight a boss fight because of how ridiculously unbalanced their elemental damage is compared to yours.
Nice elements, but next to no work was done on actually balanceing elemental creatures dmg.
Instead of about 2X fire dmg fire slimes inflict 4X their normal dmg.
Good job.

I've never been so torn with a game.

This game tries so hard to make me want to love it. I so desperately want to love it back, but I just can't. The monsters are just too damn hard. At one point I only had around 340 hp or so and some of the monsters I ran in to have done 500+ damage. I'm only in chapter two and doing fetch quests for towns people and I'm getting my ass handed to me. So after leveling up a few times and I put everything into defence and hp. Then as I tried to do the mission again, two enemies did 250+ damage simultaneously and I'm dead again.

I've seen some people complain that taking away exp and gold makes it too hard, but I disagree. There need to be some punishment for dying instead of a game over. So it fine with me.

I'm sure I could just grind on weaker enemies until I'm strong enough to beat the tougher baddies, but I would rather just play another game. Mostly because I know once I push through and become strong enough to kill them, even more powerful ones are just around the corner. And I just don't have the patience for that. I guess I could also just run past the harder enemies and just try to finish the quests, but that`s no fun and I doubt that`s how the game was ment to be played.

The game is clearly well made by very talented people that know what they`re doing. It looks awesome and plays great (although there was one time when I somehow duplicated my sword, but that`s no biggie). And as you can tell by my score I liked the game. This could easily have been one of my favorite game in a long time. If the enemy difficulty curve had been smoother things would be different. But as it stands, the game is too frustrating for me to play.

Registering

I have trouble registering for mochigames. It asks me if i want to register now, and it only gives the NO answer. I have no YES answer.
It's either a bug or compatibility, so please help with technical support. I also lost my game when my browser reset.

It was an okay game, but there were some bugs

It's a pretty solid RPG but I did encounter some bugs with it.
For starts, it never saves what skills you have set up, so you have to constently set them up when you restart.
Another bug is I found is that if you don't take your weapon or item from the potion shop lady it's gone forever, which bites due to me losing it on a fairly powerful scimitar, which right now kinda ruined the game for me permenently.
Lastly, there seems to be a bug with killing enemies. On some occasions, constently hitting an enemy as they are doing a death animation will reward me multiple times with the experiance.

A problem with boss monsters revolves around how the experiance is given based on an enemies level, which was really lame. After spending a long and tough battle killing the boss level 7 wolf rewarded me with 10 exp, the exact same experiance for killing all of the other wolves in that area with the same level.
As well, the Ceanataurs are a tad over powered, what with their uber damage and hit and run attacks, and the way they constently overwhelm you suddenly.
simply make a few small adjustments with this game and it'll do better than fine.

Buggy.

Glitch where the monster is "stuck" in the mountains or any sort of terrain. I have already restarted multiple boss fights just because ONEEEEEEE monster is caught and can't move. and i can't hit it. Still, a good game. If you're planning on making money from this, make it flawless. I mean, at least not so glitchy.
