Although this game showed occasional signs of unpolishedness, honestly, I'm hard-pressed to find a moment that I didn't enjoy playing Wickebine. I did play the download version (I prefer to own things) and although Wickebine's running speed is slow, her blade moves just fine far as I can tell. This game is short (for those reading reviews) if you sit and just play it, and one could probably get through the final dungeon within a day. You get sub-weapons in the game with various elemental attributes and ranges that you may choose per your liking. They can be charged by holding D, but you will acquire the Auto-Battery, which allows you to charge automatically without D! There are enemies throughout the dungeon, and there are few opportunities for annoying pitfalls. The bosses are well done, with the exception of a handful of attacks that could've been made a bit more powerful IMO. There is not much talking to people and collecting, etc, it is mostly just going through dungeons.

All in all, I haven't enjoyed a flash game this much since Phoenotopia. There were a few small glitches apparent but none of them provided any impediment to gameplay at all and I did not find any faults worthy of taking off rating. I've completed the final dungeon, but unlocked the post-game "Victoria's Secret" XD. I'll play it some time soon!
Reviews for "Wickebine Kigyouden"
A game focused around combat and smooth controls, well achieved. I could see more games like this, and with some kind of MMPO. I never found all the items, but I it has a lot of replay value. Definitely try it out.
This is very impressive for a free Flash game. It feels so much like Castlevania: Sympathy of the Night,it is unreal. The graphics are nice and well done,the sound is great,esp. with the boss fights. You can buy better armor and weapons,but there are plenty of great pieces to be found. A map screen would be nice and a way to open your inventory on your keyboard would be appreciated. Now,my tactics might seem primitive,but I love doing the Thunder Thrust,followed by the Rising Blade and then the Falling Blade. Using this combo,I was able to best most enemies.
Amazing game, feel like ive done everything in it
When you die in a boss battle whatever you used in the battle when you respawn from a previous save point won't be regained. :< Now I'm stuck.
