Okay, so I've had Iragon on my list for quite some time, flooding my feed with its near-constant updates. So yesterday, I decided to download the most recent version and give it a play. It is a great concept of a mix between genres, and I was surprised to find STELLAR voice acting. However...
How does a game with near daily updates NOT have a settings and keybinds menu? Alt for dodging is an ATROCIOUS keybind. The default mouse sensitivity makes the slightest wrist twitch throw you 180 degrees to the side. In a game where the hardest enemies you face are the first ones (one-handed swordsmen with no shield), not being able to customize controls to be able to fight effectively is an unforgivable sin.
Also, it's worth mentioning that any enemy you can see on the horizon can be cheesed with the ice spell. There was a big battle at the end, but my level 2 ice spell one-shot all of the enemies. Enemies don't seem to know when their friends are being murdered from afar.
The models are fantastic, and the environments are stunning. I'm sure the story is still being developed and hasn't been revealed, so I won't comment on that. Again, the voice acting is top-notch and I can't speak enough about it. Indie games are notorious for bad voice acting, and as a voiceover artist myself, I appreciate extra time being put into this aspect of the game.
The other glaring flaw in the game, though, is the "sex" scenes. I put that in quotations because the entire "scene" is 15 seconds long, max, which consists of an autoplayed set of positions that are about 3 seconds long each. Our main hero is a two pump chump. I hope these are just preview scenes and that the actual scenes will either be longer with custom animation or more interactive for those who wish to get their hands dirty.
All in all, solid concept, but for a game that has updates and posts as frequent as this one, there is precious little to the game. I got to the ice chick in about 10 minutes of gameplay and it went straight to a voting screen. I ended up voting on stuff I hadn't even seen. Village girls? Where?
As a fellow game dev, I'd like to say that your content is solid and the idea is a good one, However, I feel you should focus on your user experience first, as suffering through the combat system with no way to adjust mouse sensitivity or keybinds makes it very hard to actually enjoy the content you seem to be working on so feverishly. User Experience > Content. Polish what you have, THEN add more.
I hope this feedback is helpful, and helps to highlight what I feel are the strong and weak points of the game to help you make it into the masterpiece I know you hope it'll be one day. I wish you luck.
