Knights of Grayfang Review (polednick)
Ok, here are my experiences of the first 3/4 hour.
Story: The world is divided into humans and monsters. Each figthing the other since long ago.
Your main characters are a Vampire Knight, a Princess and an mage user.
You are in search of the parents of the Princess...meaning you must go to different dungeons and towns.
It is the usual plot.
Play: Each of the characters plays the same. The only difference are some skills/spells and the equipment.
After 3 fights you get some special coins that you can use in your special shop that can be accessed at any time.
Also you may gain tickets and super rare special tickets.
In said shop you can a) purchase items b) forge with coins or tickets c) buy cheating mods like increased attack power.
In fact if you use this shop your game ballance is destroyed. I got a +245 sword at my first try...meaning that my character
rules every fight.
Next comes that you can merge old/found weapons (of the same type)....that means your +245 can get even more powerful.
But do you need this?
I played this on very hard.....and it is very easy...I used autofight from the start on.
Now just doing the first dungeon I am already at level 18.
What's up next? Of course you will find a ship/aircraft and the Arena is back....were you can fight to gain even more powerful items.
Can I recommend this...only if you want something relaxing...something that you can play and watch a movie at the same time.
Edit: 26.01.2024
It's finally done. I finished the game after 15 hour playtime...with some hours just standing around till I finished watching a movie ;-). effective playtime should be less than 10 hours.
Any changes for my review?
Not really. The plot is predictable. Contrary to the claim there are no secrets. Some lone islands with stronger monster don't count. But it is fun to watch your party gain over 10 million exp. points there.
The gameplay is so easy it is laughable...for quests you get a flag so you can't miss them...even in dungeons the map shows you where you must search.
Like I wrote...I played with the highest difficulty...and nearly every mob was a 1 hit and gone...even the endbosses!!!!
The only different was the final opponent at the *secret* arena (not very secret).
All those useless parts with Vampire bats....I never changed them. After the first ticket crafting I never changed the weapons of the party...all those weapons you gain later are less usefull.
Oh....one last error on my side...there is no aircraft...only a ship.
And after you visted a town/dungeon you can instant warp to that location.
