Paper Knight Quest -The Cube World-

At first, I was a bit frustrated by this game--it didn't really engage me much and was slow to start--but after playing it a while, I've grown to like it, especially because it isn't P2W and there are no infuriating countdown timers to throttle your gameplay. I like being able to play it as much as I want as long as I want. It also has a nice fusion of different modes of gameplay to keep things interesting. Keep up the good work, ferx_zero!

(4.) - I feel that the camera in battle moves around too much and should be more steady and stay focused on one side's attacks at one time instead of clumsily panning in and out so much. It feels like a roller-coaster at times. This may come off like a whiny, hate-filled post, but I feel like the criticisms really needed addressing more than the praises, especially since people can pay for this game with transactions. I didn't go over everything, like spelling errors ("shinny", weird sentence structuring) or game play-breaking bugs/glitches (falling off of blocks traveling to the background layer, MCs and rarities blocked off by a bridge in alt. Snow Area, etc.), because I believe most of these will likely get fixed and don't need addressing any further. If you asked me to give this game a rating, it would be 5 out of 10. I don't hate it, there's a good game at its base, but there are too many glaring flaws that keep me from placing it any higher.

(3.) [Minor Nitpicks]: - Spending 500 MCs to get a random secondary ability (out of a large pool of abilities) on one character is expensive. If it instead cost something like 2,000 MCs and you could choose an ability you wanted, I feel it would be more acceptable. - Magic Shield is completely over-tuned and overpowered. Blocking status effects (even though it doesn't say it in-game), plus reducing damage, makes it really difficult to counter. It feels like two skills in one, or more, for the exclusive Magic Shield-based skills. - There's not enough information about the mechanics of the game shown in-game (idk about the Discord). For example, I've "beaten" the game, yet I still don't know what weaken, or charm do. Also, information like the secondary attack effects of weapons (e.g., Starlight Rod's Charm effect) is not explained.

(2.) Rewards from normal enemies are always bad and don't scale with levels, even from boss encounters. It makes progressing a slog, as a lot of your time spent in expeditions will be running away from "time-wasting" encounters, which I feel like defeats the purpose of the game. - Ambush fights. My biggest gripe with the game, and I feel like making them more noticeable/avoidable would help improve it. Some are impossible to avoid without the "EOTB"-bought upgrade. Some can 'catch' you whilst jumping, and running into the 'supers' at floor 200+ makes them even more insufferable. - The lighting in some areas in certain settings is far too bright, especially in the snow area and sunset-themed areas, making it hard to see some platforms at times. (e.g., the 'invisible' platforms with the clouds in Area 1 in the daytime setting blend into the background.)- The battle system is slooooow, especially on speed settings lower than Turbo. Turbo should be the default, IMO.

(1.) This will be a long post. I've played this game for around a month now as an F2P player on Hard difficulty, and unlocked forge tempering. I don't know the roadmap for potential changes or fixes for the game in the future, so please keep that in mind. I won't list any spoilers for others reading. [Positives]: - You're not "forced" to spend money for incentives. - You can get to floor 999 without spending money. - The battle system is easy to learn and easy to play. - The Activities system is a good way to get people to keep playing further. [Criticisms]: - There's not enough variety in level design. There are only a few variations of level design in each area, and it gets stale quickly. With the newly added 'Classic Hard' difficulty, you have to traverse a total of 7,992 floors to get all achievements. IMO, this doesn't respect the player's time, since the game is not fast-paced. - There are no incentives to fight 'non-playable', 'non-super' enemies in expeditions.
