Hi Del, thanks I was getting confused when trying to do it. Good game

[Del]

Always happy to help! Enjoy!

Hi Del,
I played the demo and everything ran smoothly. The story enticed me to buy the full version although I am a little wary about the reference to "Maid" - sounded close to vestal virgin / sacrifice So I'm cautious how things are going to turn out...

I have run across one glitch in the Cursed Mines Level B2 - first corridor on left at the end. Unable to reach/open the second chest due to an inconveniently placed pot hole on the floor.

Other than that, so far so good

Hello, MerryX!

I will look into that treasure chest you mentioned right away!

As for the Maiden theme:

Spoiler: show

It's nothing like that so put your mind at ease

Thank you for your feedback and enjoy the game!

Hi Del,

Still going and really enjoying the game. So far my little "Maiden" is kicking arse!! I'm up to the Pyramid.

A couple of things to mention -

- Mithril Shield in Ice Cave or from the merchant unable to be equipped so unless you have another character floating around...? (Later on also found the Dragon Shield unable to be equipped)
- a World map would be so handy with these games (hint, hint)
- Armor Piercer skill only targets one enemy not all enemies as the description says
- extremely generous item drops mean I am maxing out very quickly with Dispel Herbs, Stimulants, and Super Potions! Far be it for me to complain about too much of a good thing but...it's probably too much

I am finding the mazes a great challenge - different from the usual keep your hand on the left wall and explore every inch. The addition of needing to take into account the vertical axis is a real test of memory and space..."didn't I just go past that rock before...?"

All the best,
MerryX

Hi Del,

I have just finished the game. It took me about 13 hours so a decent length and I levelled up the Scytra (33); Beatrice (36); Sebastien (33); and Oda (33).

The game played very smoothly with a mouse, the graphics were clear and attractive. There was not a great deal of dialogue so, while the storyline was there, it was targetted on the main goal with little time to develop the characters and enrich the story. I think I may have missed that in this game, particularly as I felt it was such a good game in many ways, it could have been great!

The equipment was decent and as I said earlier, the item drops and gold were very generous. I finished up with nearly $50,000 surplus and I definitely didn't stint on buying stuff.

One thing I noticed particularly towards the end was the battles were not quite as challenging as I'd expected - either my play is improving or the equipment was mighty or the enemies were just not very strong. In the final dungeon, I was only getting damaged with hits around under 100 (and some were embarrassingly under 10). Mind you, it was nice not to be slaughtered but it may be the battles were a bit uneven.

I think the way you have designed the dungeons is great - I have been playing these games quite a lot over the past few weeks and I must admit getting a bit tired of the stock standard layout. These dungeons are tricky and as I staggered out the other side of a few of them, I was never quite sure I'd managed to find everything without having got turned around And sometimes I turn round and stomp back in - and other times I'd run away screaming "I don't care!!!!"

Overall, I did enjoy myself quite a lot and would happily recommend.

Thanks as always, Del, for your hard work.

First of all, THANK YOU for your feedback and support. I really appreciate that.
Reading through your impressions on the game was really satisfying and helpful, I'm grateful, really.

I'm so glad that you have enjoyed the dungeons, sometimes it's hard to make those fun in a JRPG.

I'll also work hard upon the critique you have made regarding the combat and the character development. Thank you for your input on those, know that it was very valuable to me.

Congratulations on finishing the game and again, thank you very much!
