I feel if most of the bosses against the heroes felt more like you're actually fighting a player, they'd be improved immensely. Shovel Knight's boss in Plague of Shadows is a great example of this; he doesn't have a set pattern, and instead runs around like a headless chicken and adapts to your attacks, using the throwing anchor when you're above him, using the phase locket if he's getting hit too much, using the war horn if he's trapped in a pit, learning to reflect your bombs in the latter half, and even healing up when at low health. Heck he even runs out of magic at some point and resorts to his shovel. The hero bosses should have employed similar tactics, not having actual patterns and instead reacting to your own patterns.

@@XVINutkabob Well sure, but if a game's main selling point is playing as the villain and controlling bosses, I want the hero fights to feel like I'm fighting players. Have them act like complete morons in the first bit of the fight and start to learn from your attacks. Don't give them set patterns and instead make them mostly react to your own attacks. Have them try to pull the same dirty tricks players do like camping in a part of the arena you have difficulty hitting or buffing up and healing any chance they get.

The game looks pretty rough, but I especially like the contrast of Crow and the heroes. Playing the heroes, you [probably would have found that they've got backstories and stuff. P{laying Crow, you find a one-=track villain who's got more snark undert his belt than most bad guys out there and a high degree of success, as well as (from their POV) one-track heroes. It really shines in that on one hand, you have the heroes beign played in most games, which makes the villain seem flatter, but when you shift control to the bad guy, suddenly the heroes look a lot less 3D.

I expected this game to be ass, but it's actually pretty good the way they've done and referenced everything. The only thing it could do with more of is sound effects and that's about it.

This game makes me feel conflicted. There's an obvious lack of polish to it (Frankly it sorta feels like a really good flash game). But the characters and premise are pretty nice... Certainly a game i'd like to see a sequel to with a bigger budget. At least the comics exist so there's more Crow to go around. :P

Even though the concept and idea for this game are ridiculously cool, it's executed.. kinda poorly. It feels like an unfinished, early prototype. A lot of things seem to be lacking animations or proper sprites, the sound design *sounds* off, and, well, it just feels unfinished. Y'know, with a bit of story tweeking, some better sound design, and re-designed sprites and gameplay, this could be the next big thing... oWo

Crow is so cool, he doesn’t even look where he’s throwing. Also. In America, you face the boss. In Soviet Russia, YOU ARE THE BOSS.
