Title: mystic formula. how is it?
Post by: munchiaz on May 14, 2012, 02:46:46 AM
i havent seen any footage of the game until recently. It looks pretty cool. Have any of you guys played it before, and if so what do you think about it?

I like it a lot.

It is a weird game.

Its like Ikari Warriors meets Dungeons and Dragons, or some shit.

It's a bit wonky to start, sometimes its a bit cheap, but all in all, its a pretty solid game.  The in-game graphics are kind of disappointing, but still good enough.

I picked it up for around 30$, I think, and felt it was definitely worth it, especially since the characters all play differently enough to warrant more than one playthru.

Not saying it's good or bad, just that it's not as good as it looks like it should be.

yeah.  the Microcabin logo and the cool anime coverart implies that it will be more graphically awesome, at least.

nice visuals here and there, but very slow-paced gameplay. I can't help me, but I always get very sleepy while playing few levels.
it def. looks much better on the pictures than it is in real life.

I want it to be as fun as Last Alert, it seems like it could've been....but it's not.

If you don't immediately dig one of the characters in the game, the whole thing will fall apart.

I really liked ElfGirl9000, so I enjoy playing the game alot because of it.
