Reading the first few points made me ask, are you sure you have played the latest version?
No idea. Vengeancekael just hosted the game.

You spent 15 minutes playing this game but 5 for this post, i don think that's smart!
I still wanted to give my opinion. If I go with a mood to review a map I review it no matter what. Smart or not, I still did it.

For the hot keys, have you played Lich in solo, how about that, if you wanna change them, just download a changer, then you will have your QWERT
No I haven't. But I didn't say there was a problem with Lich. The problem was with the Archer.

By the way, the 'boring stuff' can just be esced, that's only for the beginner i think.
But of course I am a beginner in this game. What else do you expect? I just played the game first time. Do I have to play the game 10 times before I can judge it? No, no, no.

You are giving me rating based on the loading screen, the hotkeys and the cinematics which are totally for introducing the player to the game?
We have to remember these things are very important too. I mean, these things gives the first feeling about the game. But to your question; no, otherwise the game would have 0/5.
I rated the game of all the things I mentioned and overall feeling I had about the game. The gameplay was the one that gave most of the points, but there were problems that dropped my rating.
If the game doesn't have much replay, like I felt, I expect the map to be epic one time journey. The map should give the player feeling that this is a great game and I really wanna save the world! This game just gave me a feeling we're somewhere, doing something and we say "For The Horde!". But of course I played the game only the first 15 minutes.

You say you saw nothing special. First off, I don't know what do you have in mind as special, because this is a Dungeon Crawler map. In such type of maps, "special" could be the ESC stat system. The shop system. The backpack. The variety of heroes. The difficulty settings. The custom Gold and XP system. The item drop system. The Legendary items that are acquired through puzzle-solving and exploration. Oh.. wait.. you didn't get there, didn't you?
And these things gave you a lot of points. I mean, I said the gameplay was great. But even after all these things, the game doesn't get 5/5 from me.

Are you aware of what the Alt+Q combination does, Aero? It quits the game. There are people who use "Alt" to display health bars and I've seen people leave the game because of that.
Most of the heroes have WERT as hotkeys, but not Q.
Well, I didn't see this one coming. Never ever heard of this problem. But still X, Z, T and D? I mean what?
spasorc said:
You say the shop is a mess. How much more organised would you like it to be?
Potions to one line, then armors and finally weapons for example. I just saw that my own game has exactly the same problem. I think it looks sexier if potions are in one line instead of all around.

If you spent a little more time actually playing than judging the skippable cinematics, you might have gotten used to how it works.
I've a feeling you're now mocking now your own cinematics. But anyway, it was a working "dungeon crawler".
spasorc said:
The first cinematic explains via text messages the basic rules and specifics of the map, while giving you something to watch meanwhile. It's not meant to be with "fancy special effects". Do you seriously judge a dungeon crawler map by the special effects in it's first cinematic? ...
What do you mean meanwhile? Can I play at the same time while I watch a cinematic? If it's not made to be that awesome why make it in the first place? I think that part could have been done without a cinematic. But of course cinematics can create a good feeling to player and make them like your game instantly. This one didn't. And about your question, definitely yes. It is part of the game.

I expected something more from someone with your reputation. (By reputation I don't mean reputation points.)
No need to start mocking personally. I am what I am and that's it.
