The dev of this game, MyDreamForever, asked for a review after you beat the game, so here goes...
It was a great, short game! It took about one hour to beat, and two hours to max out all stats by grind the Big Bad Evil Guy, the dragon, at the end for three achievements. Talking about those, if I wasn't a filthy casual, I'd try beating the game without dying for the ridiculously hard achievement. Diabolic starts out hopelessly easy, you see you can spec into Hero, Sword, Magic, and Ranged Attack (Crossbow). My spec was mostly Magic, as you can cast spam thirty or so fireballs at the first level, recover MP more and more easily as you level it up MP regen, the fireballs can go halfway across the screen, and crossbow bolt pickups are few and limited by the level's design. After you get through seven of the ten levels, Diabolic then challenges Dark Souls games' difficulty on the eighth level, Labyrinth. At least, that's what I exaggerated to my friend when he checked in when I was playing that level. I died at least ten times there, and it's super frustrating, as there are no checkpoints, and you have to start the whole 20 minute level over again. Unlike me, I recommend going back to farm level six, Prison, or level seven, Ruins, if you fail Labyrinth once. No use hitting your head against the wall, your build is too weak.
Notes in case the new dev OPG EUPHORE sees this: please optimize the framerate when casting a million fireballs as the player and the dragon, it would get worse and worse as the levels proceeded, the music glitched and I thought it would boot me out completely. It didn't, and I restarted the game whenever it started to get slow, and that seemed to work temporarily. Your key bindings are messed up on the screen, but not in the on screen tips on the levels you gain them. The fire cone attack says D to use, but is really S, and your ice blast says S, but is really D. On the last level, the crossbow hits maybe fifty percent of the time when shot straight on from anywhere on the dragon, middle, left or right, regardless of whether you shoot him on or off screen. I couldn't figure out what was going on there from the player side. If I remember any other mishaps, I'll update this review! Thanks for the fun game, y'all.
