4/5
Even after only a few minutes playing, I like it.
Obviously it lacks polish, but is a fun little game with an interesting premise.
Reviews for "Rise"
Really good game should have added leveling aspect to it though :P
The ladies were really tough to get to the top, especially the thief. Maybe if you increased all the base numbers, the dice rolls wouldn't be so lopsided. Sorry you didn't have any sponsorship with this game- seems made for replay value! A nice bonus would've been a medal for getting all those characters up there!
There's definitely a learning curve with being able to finish this game.... hoarding all the items for the boss battle seems essential to win, as does the opportunity to level up stats (where's that big dude when you need him?) Notable improvements: varied sound effects, varied storylines for completion, more random elements (okay, I figured out holograms will ALWAYS lead you astray; the food can variable was nice).
This game is definitely worth cleaning up and adding more elements to. Also having checkpoints, would lessen getting to the end, only having no way to beat the final boss... that was evident with the ladies, since their stats have to deal with an atypical enemy/boss. The thief's smoke screen doesn't work at all on the CEO! Hope you see my review dude!!
Interesting game. Although I didn't agree with the amount a life potions gives you because I chose a knight and put a lot of points into vitality which in the end screwed me over because I could never get full health.
The gameplay isn't original. I met the potion lady more then anything. But the story and idea is cool. I like the plot.
