Crusader of Centy

Review

Good

  • The art is bright and colorful with very cheerful characters.
  • The game's music if very good. Lots of fun track, but moody music as well.
  • I like the special animation for diagonal movement.
  • The cheetah race is a nice mini-game.
  • The game has several nice touches added to it, like footprints in the sand.

Bad

  • The story is lame. Monsters have recently got worse, so let's send a 14-year-old boy, and only the boy, to figure out why?
  • The player control could be better. It never feels entirely fluid, and I always bump into things that I don't feel like I should be bumping into.
  • Many times throughout the game I was at a loss for where to go next. I'm fine with dialogue that doesn't hold your hand, but this game often doesn't even give you a clue where to go next. Also, a lot of the clues require talking to people multiple times before they give you hints.
  • Although the sword swings a large arc, it only hits things directly in front of you. This is very apparent when trying to cut down grass, and hitting monsters isn't much easier.
  • The map design leaves a lot to be desired. Most grass and crates aren't worth cutting, and the maps are large and empty. I would prefer the maps to either be smaller or more populated.
  • I don't get why your animal helpers hover behind you where ever you go. It's rather distracting.
  • You mass a lot of gold, but there are very few things to spend it on.
  • Some of the hidden objects are a bit too hidden like the fence post that requires you to jump on it over 30 times before the secret is revealed.
  • I like the idea of being able to speak to plants and animals, but, by taking away the player's ability to speak to humans at the same time, it ends up forcing the player revisit a lot of areas they already did to see what the humans would have said.
  • Dippy takes a lot of the skill out of the game by allowing you to be immune to spikes and conveyors. It wouldn't be as bad if he were optional, but he's a mandatory companion.
  • In the American release, there are a fair amount of typos in the dialogue including improper word-wrapping, incorrect scrolling, and inconsistent spacing after punctuation.
  • By allowing the player to save pretty much anywhere in the game, save scumming becomes a problem.
  • All of the spike jumping in Camillia Desert is pretty annoying.
  • Bosses don't flash or knock-back when you injure them, so you have to watch their apple counter to tell when you're actually able to hit them.
  • When you go into the past, in order to keep players limited to just specific areas of the game, the developers just don't like the player leave certain areas. It would have been nicer if they made a barrier on the map so it didn't look so silly.
  • For some reason, the penguin has a duck's bill.
