Beholgar 2

I don't usually leave feedback on the games I play because, often, my opinions have already been addressed in other players' reviews. But, considering this is an indie game, made – apparently – by a solo developer, I think my feedback should have some value for both the developer and future players. TO FUTURE PLAYERS: This game took me straight back to my childhood, like when I played on my Sega Genesis. Somehow it reminded me of Conan, Golden Axe, and Altered Beast, together. The map exploration is simple but interesting; there are some items, travel between checkpoints and levels, special powers, and upgrades. It's a good upgrade on a "Castlevania-like" game. The story is interesting, and the setting is quite dark. It's a game I would recommend, especially because it's not expensive, exhausting, or overly punishing (I hate excessively difficult games). TO THE DEVELOPER: Some points bothered me quite a bit throughout the game. For example: 1. When climbing walls, it wasn't uncommon for a misclick to occur for a new jump (I would press the jump button as soon as it stuck to the wall, but it wouldn't jump). 2. In some maps, I would accidentally – out of curiosity – get stuck in pa…

This game is a throw back to RASTAN and BLACK TIGER and I'm all here for it! Keep 'em coming devs! :D Maybe throw in some more easter eggs like hidden walls and secret passages for fun :D Five star game in my book!

This game saved my marriage . Really cool artstyle. Game has some jank, but its nothing you cant get over unless you're some type of gaming Karen. Plus all the janks and quirks come off as charming, especially when considering the game was made by one dude.

Has some technical issues, but overall I had fun trying this one out! Almost feels like a 2D Dark Souls / Castlevania / He-Man crossover of sorts.

Not quite there yet, but has potential to be one of the greats. A lot of just kind of sloppy bugs at the moment. Places where you can fall of the screen, locking the game, and messing up your save file, really unbalanced damage mechanics, some weird frame rate lags that happen intermittently. Also some odd visual stuff that needs attention too. Just a little too early to market. Kind of a shame, because with another few months of work, he could be asking for twice the price and it'd be worth it.

This is a bit of a tough one. The graphics are pretty great, the story is fun, the whole thing drips of atmosphere and the gameplay is simple, but fun. But boy, the bugs! SO MANY BUGS! This game really needs another quality pass or two. Really, with less bugs, this could be an absolute Indy classic to easily recommend to others. As it stand though, if the style and gameplay speak to you, try it, it's fun. But also be prepared to fall out of the level, get stuck in menu, restart at the wrong checkpoints, broken animations and so much more. And always holding a sword, no matter which weapon you selected. That one kind of annoyed me the most, probably because it intruded on the barbarian fantasy which otherwise feels so great. Oh, also, dev should make an achievement out of collecting treasure chest. Its fun finding those, but you really don't need to, so that would be great!
