Great fighting game.
Hmm...these games are quite rare....you don't find games this good every day..nor every week....
The animation was simply OK because it could be better, the voice acting, on my opinion was the worst part of the game because the guy being the master was whispering instead of speaking so l had to turn the volume of my PC up and when l started the battle the sound blast almost killed me (LOL).
Anyway the background music in the arena is very good, even if techno music doesen't fit very well with medieval battles....
The gameplay was not boring at all (like some users say.,,) if you don't like an arena RPG then go play defense games...
The armor was very cool, the weapons could be bigger and meaner (especially the final sword looked like a knife), the bows were cool and the throwables OK.
l liked the fact that you can change your partner's head and all that.
One bad thing about the game is its combat A.I.
When l am in front of an ally which is following me and l have a heavier armor than he does he keeps running towards me even if l stop!
He could at least change direction because l can't jump over him in tunnels!
The arenas were awesome, especially because they were ambiented in various places of the world...
The fact that you can battle the same arena over and over makes the game much easier but you lose time making this so you won't make it to the highscore tables...this is an intelligent idea!
l also liked the non-story modes very much, because they can keep you playing after you finished the story mode...
The only improvement this game could get is more character (your character) customisation like hair, face and beard.
You could also add some magic powers to make the battles more intense...you can make it, you have 4.6 megs remaining!
