Reviews for "Ancient Powers NX8"

All fine but english translation...

This Game rocks, i am almost done but now i have to stop playing.
I like the retro look and also it got some nice ideas!

To those having trouble...

To unfreeze the first guy, maybe your attack is just too, how shall I say, POWERFUL *hint* *hint*

Overall, a nice little game that, while not great, is pretty good for just one screen. Took me a minute to figure out the upgrade screen (didn't know you could take points out *wink* for example), but all in all, a good way to burn a half-hour.

I eagerly await your next project.

4/5 9/10

Pretty good game

The style was great, I love old video games. I also really liked the skills and upgrading them. I wish there was a little bit more in terms of the story, but it was good enough.

Hints:
You gain exp based on the damage you do, you you're best off putting all points into damage unless they are momentarily needed elsewhere.

Ending #1: Turn back at first boss, don't fight him.

Ending #2: Rush back to your love. Don't go back and fight the first wizard/second boss.

Ending #3: Go back and kill the first wizard before seeing your gal.

one screen game

I really enjoyed how involved this game was for never leaving the screen. Granted, that was because the whole thing is pretty tiny, but that didn't matter. I also loved how you often had to fine tune your shot parameters so they would reach where they were supposed to. I haven't finished the game yet after making it to the final piece before all the chaos but even that part was a nice surprise. It's like a whole other level once all of the platforms/ladders/enemies are shifted around. The only thing that bugged me, which often shows up in platformers, is the need to stretch how far or high you have to jump to barely make it on to a platform. I felt like I had to refreeze the blue guys over and over to get them at just the right height. Other than that, fantastic game.

Excellent game

This was a great game and I certainly enjoyed myself. I really hope to see a squeal to this.

However, I did have to take a point off because there was a minor problem: Sometimes the character will keep moving when I let go of the keys.
