    Playtime!

    I burned a whole 45 minutes during a conference call today playing this:

    Their Cleric is superior as well.

    I finally beat the computer. The trick is to eliminate that sorceress, then the cleric.

    The only problem with this game is is leaves you wanting more. More levels. More mini-maps. More characters. More multi-player.

    I beat it on the first try, ended up killing the sorceress last. I love these type of games.

    I won the first time when I didn't know what I was doing, and lost the second time when I did. There is big random factor in there, especially on the area magic damage. Is there any way to look at everyone's stats, instead of just those of the person whose turn it is?

    Yes. Click on a player. The health stats are listed near the bottom.

    I mean the other stats, especially magic resistance. I did one game where the AI Striker blasted an area that included the Sorceress, but she took no damage. There are some rules there that aren't obvious.

    Right. I believe each character has different movement, spell resistance, damage, etc. The AI Sorceress seems to be particularly resistant to spells from the casters. But to your point you can't seem to get any detail on the abilities of each character.

    I sent an email to one of the creators. I'm hoping they turn this into a multi-player game. It's beauty is it's simplicity.

    Did anyone else have this happen? In one game I was down to my healer... obviously
    I was screwed, right? I mean she can't do any damage.

    Well strange thing is, she morphed into a demoness, with a spell that did 9999 damage each hit (to one square). Her health was listed as ?/?, but it did go down when I took damage... I'm thinking I had about 4000 health.

    I just tried it again and it didn't happen... It was weird, she had pale blue skin and white wings... I think I remember little horns. Must be a random occurance.
