I was feeling nostalgic this past week towards flash games, and while browsing Newgrounds, I found this one SRPG game that I enjoyed quite a lot. It's short and sweet and surprisingly well made.
World's End Chapter 1
As you can expect from 2013 Newgrounds, it's radiates that old internet edgy humor, but I did get surprised how neat the plot is. I liked the characters and found the dialogue quite funny. (Well, as funny as 2013 humor can be).
One thing I found really special about it is how robust the battle system is: Basically, you have 10 action points and you spend them to do stuff in the battlefied, you can be very basic and walk > attack > use an item on the same turn, or you could attack twice without moving, or you can even move > grab an obstacle > throw > move > grab an item > throw > grab an item > throw > end turn.
There's even other things like grabbing obstacles to form a staircase, throwing items next to a character so they can grab it and throw against the enemy... you can attack with one character, move with another to attack the enemy's back and get the previous character to attack the same guy again for back damage, it's pretty fun to do all sorts of things, even if you don't have a lot of special attacks to do yourself.
I finished chapter 1 today and I'm going for
Chapter 2. Maybe I will post about the other 2 chapters once I finish them.
If anyone wants to play it, here's two tips. First one is: if it asks you to permit upload.ungrounded.net to save data, press Tab or Shift + Enter to move around and finally close the thing. For whatever reason, clicking on it doesn't work.
Second: The game is a bit hard, but not impossible, but if you want to do all Flawless Victories (no deaths), then remember to pick Tevoran's skill "Mockery", it makes all enemies go and try attack him even if they aren't in range. It's basically a necessity to win most later fights without dying.
