As for criticism, I don't like how much of the screen your sword and shield take, especially when you block, you can't see anything. Enemies should have some kind of turn animation because it feels weird to dodge behind them and for them to just instantly turn and smack you. The volume of sound effects is way higher than the volume of the music, to the point where sound effects are way too loud even after I can't hear the music.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":639861,"author_name":"Human Writes Code","author_uid":"human-writes-code","epoch":1619511593,"text":"I was quite impressed with this one.

A couple of feedback points - I feel that the shield takes up a little bit too much of your view when it's up. It makes it very difficult to tell when an enemy is done attacking.

(Just a small hint that you can't block ogres could be added)\nI really like the design of the levels (multiple paths, different enemies).\nAlso the switch between overground and underground is nice. \nThings I think could be improved: Add some lightning and shadows. The underground parts of the game are too bright for me. \nThe difficulty curve: The game gets hard very quick. I think it could be easier.\nBut yeah.

The shield definitely block too much of the screen and wider fov would be nice. The use of dash felt limited in later areas where it was easy to fall down to your death. I actually managed to trick one knight into doing just that, and he died bravely in lava.

I appreciate the enemy variation too and the level design!\n\nI think the combat was the one part that could use more work to make it more engaging. Here some suggestions if you plan on working on this more:\n-Shield take up too much screen (i know a few others mentioned)\n-More character progression besides health upgrade. maybe a couple different abilities to unlock that allows the player mix up gameplay on their own terms (being able to dash multiple times and store charges would be cool)\n-more varied enemy AI. the enemies all feel unique and require different strategies, but it seems like they all use the same AI, but with different values for attack range, attack speed maybe, and when to move closer to the player. The way they stop completely makes the fights feel a little static\n\nI liked the flat shaded low polys and the only problem I had there was parts where two planes are shaded the same color and there's no way to tell there's stairs, or a ramp without viewing at a different angle. Ambient occlusion or some subtle textures could help a lot there  \n![legendofgoblinhorde2.png](\/\/\/raw\/a32\/d3\/z\/426f0.png)\n\nI think I got bugged out when I killed the last enemy and fell in the lava. It looked like it killed me (had the particle affect when you die) for a split second, but then I got the 5 health upgrade from finishing the level\nand then I was stuck in the lava with 5 health XD  \n![legendofgoblinhorde.png](\/\/\/raw\/a32\/d3\/z\/426ef.png)\n\nThis is a really good start I hope you keep working on it!
