This game reminds me of the historical re-enactment club my father's friend used to run. They'd dress up in chainmail and pretend to bash each other with steel weapons. I think someone even had to get an ambulance called for them once.

Anyway, nice RPG. Would recommend.

Amusing, enjoyable RPG. Nice to have something a little old school. Great job!

secularbaron 2015-08-25 13:29

Awesome! Great graphics, very funny.

bigbuggames 2015-08-26 23:41

Good job! It was nice to see some old school rpg in this Ludum =)

gigaraptor 2015-08-26 23:52

Nice RPG,I enjoyed it. On a side note, the first game I ever programmed was called ancient world of generica. Its funny they both have the same name in them.

swizzcheez 2015-08-27 00:29

One of my favorites so far. Well done, sir.

martinfernandez 2015-08-27 01:05

great game, very funny!! :D

Loved this game! A great twist on a theme and you managed to make a game that was both humorous and fun! I'd argue that it could be a little less difficult, but that'd be missing the point, right?

minionstudios 2015-08-27 01:17

Fun! you're not very shy are you? ha

cgmorton 2015-08-27 20:38

What kind of monster gives a mage spells that are weaker than his physical attack?? Oh, right.

steboots 2015-08-29 00:31

You Paul are a genius. There's no way there will be any funnier games, and you compelled me to play a genre I hate. Good job, 5's all around.

killersnoofie 2015-08-29 01:05

cool game

quexd 2015-08-29 01:07

Fun!

bossmojoman 2015-08-29 02:29

Just great, awesome take on the theme

fistmaker 2015-08-29 03:06

It reminds me of UnReal World. Fun entry!

alxr 2015-08-30 12:43

Love that Mothy Python mood!

leaden 2015-08-30 12:49

You kidding!

rodobodolfo 2015-08-31 00:11

this is awesome! the graphics are great and the combat feels rewarding. some audio would be really nice.
Good job!

obvious_san 2015-08-31 00:53

Great idea xD Innovation and Humor really high ; )

erkberg 2015-09-01 14:09

Very funny interpretation of the theme and you made a fun game from the idea. The graphics are great and almost photorealistic. :)
The gameplay is alright, sometimes a little tedious. The stun never ever worked for me. There were also a few minor bugs, like the log not formatting correctly and displaying markup or the first aid changing the bar but not the numeric value of health. Apart from that, the progression felt nice, in the beginning there were some close fights and in the end my chars were unbeatable, just like it should be.
Overall, I enjoyed this a lot, especially the humor (that end screen ^^), good job!

nurbs 2015-09-04 01:45

This is the best anybody could have done with this theme.

jangobrick 2015-09-04 04:13

That really is an interesting interpretation of the theme. Great idea, and well executed!

drzanuff 2015-09-05 00:03

The best use of the theme and originality by far.
The only thing that it is missing is the audio.
Awesome job.

larzan 2015-09-05 14:41

Haha, well done!
Love the idea, well implemented.
You got me btw. :|
ATTACK!

amras0000 2015-09-05 17:05

Idea is great, your writing is fantastic; the stats are a bit obtuse but fit the theme. I couldn't seem to ever get an enemy stunned, and the wild swing was far too inaccurate given that it used stamina and didn't do all that much damage compared to the attack.
Reformatting C: was a nice touch. Got a fair few chuckles from the game overall. Nice job.

amras0000 2015-09-05 17:06

P.S. - since you're using unity, don't publish development builds. That just adds an annoying watermark to the corner and pops up the console if an exception pops up.

mase 2015-09-05 19:59

It took three tries (damned Purple Things!!) but I managed to defeat you.
It was pretty easy once I learned to never use the Mage's skills.
The ending was perhaps less impactful because I'm using OS X... but it's the thought that counts.

The charming costumes really make this stand out from other entries.
Nice work.

galvesmash 2015-09-05 20:09

The idea is brilliant! I loved how all the monsters were you in different costumes!

axoona 2015-09-05 22:25

LARPing while devolopping a video game... I totally approve!

superfreak 2015-09-05 23:19

What can I say... the theme interpretation is god-tier and four points I laughed so hard that I cried. Brilliant work, you truly are the monster :)

slothmachine 2015-09-06 03:06

Great game. But oh man. Unity Webplayer made my whole computer crash in the end. After losing I pressed the... I forgot what it said. Maybe it was the retry button.

wooltech 2015-09-06 16:03

I don't know if anyone ever revisits these pages, but thanks for all the feedback so far!

I don't know what happened with the crash. I've not had it happen with my game, but Unity Player has been a pain in some other entries I've been playing. I'll have look into it.

Also I'll beat you next time. All of you!

philomory 2015-09-06 21:28

Hilarious. In some ways, one of the best games I've played so far this LD. My favorite take on the theme, for sure.

william_edwards 2015-09-09 16:22

Absolutely loved it! Reminds me of a grail quest :)

I wasn't very good at winning; often got stomped on by the pirates and mages.

Instead of random dice rolls, there could be something the user can influence e.g. a roulette wheel where they can stop it.

culturebosh_games 2015-09-11 21:56

Thanks for letting us play your game!

What I liked:

Really liked your interpretation of the theme and the old school RPG gameplay.

Areas to improve:

Hmmm any of my criticisms would be playing right into your hands eh, wooltech? Mechanics could be a bit better explained? Combat system could be more predictable? All part of your monstrous plan I bet!

Had a miserable time... Well done. You are truly a monster!

Congrats!

crucknuk 2015-09-13 10:34

Hilarious cheap art style, awesome writing inspiration :D
haha loved it! you nailed it 'Ol pirate! kudos!
