From what i tested it seems to be a pretty solid game. Does anyone have a idea on how you access the Items? And what is those small crystals on the top screen that builds upp when you perfom combos?
Oh, and the game runs solid on my SC SD.
While you're in a fighting area, press L to access the items, and you can hotkey an item to the Y button. I like that since I found it annoying back in Secret of Mana when you'd have to open those annoying ring menus every time you wanted to cast a spell or use an item. When you're in town, just press Start, and go to the button that says I-te-mu in katakana.
As for those small crystals, when they are all full, press Select and you'll go into "Fever" mode
reminded me of Puyo Pop Fever
In Fever mode, you attack about twice as fast until the crystals become drained, and then you go and fill them again. The crystals are filled based on attacks you make that hit. So you can easily fill your crystals by smacking the barrels and those moving floating things that try to block you (you CAN kill these, even though you do 1 damage...they probably got like 40 or so hp).
I kinda understand that you press and hold B to cast spells, but is it kind of like Sword of Mana where depending on how long you hold it, it casts a different spell? Or something else? I tried it, and since I had Salamander, he kinda flies out and sits there. When I touch him, I glow red...maybe increases my attack?
Man, one thing I'm really finding annoying is the whole "knock-down" thing. When you hit a monster a few times, they fall down, and they can knock down another monster (doesn't do damage, just knocks them down). But in the same way, YOU can be knocked down...and much too easily too. If you're in the middle of a group hacking away, you'll find yourself on the ground half the time. Some monsters, like the green slimes, are especially good at knocking stuff down. Near the beginning you'll find a whole group of them. Just knock one down and they all go like a chain reaction.
I got to the top of the first tower, and man, that fire bird pheonix thing is a TOUGH boss. But maybe that's just cause my character is weak. I just discovered the Gems menu while in town, and you can equip gems to increase various stats. Let's hope this time I'll be stronger
Btw, there are some objects that can only be broken by having a monster thrown into them. For example, the big blue jars. Just knock a monster towards the jars and they will shatter.
Anyone know when you get more characters? And maybe some details on spells? Also, is there a way to regenerate MP like in Sword of Mana where you "sit" down? Or only via the nut items?
Please post stuff here that you figure out about this game to help the rest of us
