Jikandia the timeless land
« on: March 20, 2011, 11:04:34 AM »
i played this for a real short time but what i played was incredibly disappointing,i was excited when i heard this game was made by half minute hero creator but it doesn't have an ounce of the variety or humor that made half minute hero good

what you get instead is a lame 2D sidescroller with rpg elements and randomly generated levels,the gimmick in this one is that basicaly you decide how long you stay in one dungeon and you can pick between 3 minutes and 30 minutes,the idea being that if you have an appointment in 20 minutes,you pick 20 minutes and play until your time is done

the problem with this is that the game actualy rewards you for picking more time,it gives you more rare items,more chance to get stat boost to make the boss easier (which is in your interess because killing the boss quickly gives you access to a bonus room with more loot) and more chance to scores,but playing the game for 30 minutes is an excruciating experience where you go trough the same looking rooms,hearing the same boring music,fighting the same boring enemies.... basicaly the best way to play the game is to bore yourself to death

other than that there is a system that gives a timer to chest and enemies,open a chest or kill an enemy when their timer is 0 and you get a bonus,again this is a bad idea because that means that you reach a chest but you have to sit around on your ass waiting for the timer to reach 0 or forfeit the bonus all together,laaaaaaaaaame

while being in the dungeon also random event happens,like sometimes enemies start to rain or you get to move more quickly but it really doesn't make the game less monotone

the translation is also unreadable,the text is really slow to appear but if you press X you skip it alltogether and message are all divided in a weird way like

"other than that there is a X
system that gives a timer X
to chest and enemies,open X
a chest or or kill an X
enemy when the X
timer is 0"

you get the idea...
what a disappointment :-\
