Fiend's Isle [DEMO]

I love this game, im so glad it has Linux support, the hiatus is a bummer but i know that i will see the full game

Suggestions

1 illusory walls

2  A quick item button for items of the players choice

I will love to see what you make of this game

so promising but like all things related to kings field it all dies before coming to fruition.

I just heard about the indefinite hiatus, which kind of sucks. Just everything about this game is amazing, from the visuals to the music, I really hope this isn't going to be abandoned and the developer does eventually start to work on this game again. I'd hate to see this game stay unfinished.

love this and the zelda vibes

A really cool project with many neat little ideas, with the crossbow with infinite ammos or the well of wishing. The controls are a bit clunky with a controller. I wanted to play with a keyboard and mouse for the better camera panning, but the game doesn't allow for rebinding inputs so I stuck with a gamepad.

I really like the vibe of the game, it reminds me a lot fo the old traditional 2D roguelikes. I would say the sprint consumes too much stamina, to the point of kinda ruining the pacing when you just want to explore and go from point A to B. But apart from that, it's a solid demo. I would live to see it fully completed.

good game dude

Loved it! Its intuitive and simple to play. Got the mace from the well and was like; this prob gon fuk the bone-boys up. And it did and it was cool.

Really cool game, loved the vibe , the music is really good, definitely recommend 9/10

Out of all the indie games trying to be Kings Field, your demo truly succeeds at recapturing all of the key elements. It has the right look, it has the right feeling, it has the right technical execution, and it carries the right atmosphere. For a full release game, the similarities may be too on the nose, but, I sincerely hope you consider making a full project some day.

i  would love to play this

I'm not a fan of every indie game doing a PS1 aesthetic, but you did it really well! The OST is great too.

wish i could play. old looking graphics and great atmosphere got my attention so hard

not responding problem when i run the .exe

This is a really fun game, I hope you continue working on it. Great job so far! 👍

genuinely pretty fun

the playstation can produce mind boggling effects

Just beat the demo and I am really looking forward to seeing the future of this game!  Purple skeleton just about gave me a heart attack he was so quick!

Already wishlisted on steam!

the music makes me feel a emotion that doesnt exsit..... and i love it

fun :) I've always wanted to play Kings Fields but have never wanted to put up with the old controls, and this game manages that feeling fairly well with mouse look. The ps1 dithering and the camera bobbing add a very textured breathing feeling that ended up making for cool breather moments after combat.

There's a visual bug where the crossbow "drops" its bolt sometimes but super clean gameplay-wise

Fun demo! Great tribute to king's field! I found the Mace (:

This formula works well together!

Very soothing, amazing demo!

Will be coming back to this one.

would love to see this get a full release 

this is sick dude

I really liked this demo for Fiend's Isle. I liked the aesthetic of the game with the PS1 style going for it as well as the game mechanics itself.  There's really isn't a tutorial on how to fight enemies or what the different kinds of items there are in the game, which gives you a hit of dopamine every time you discover something new. I went through the game without knowing that there was a healing mechanic that could have prevented me from dying. I didn't know that you could pick up the patches of grass on the ground and use them to heal yourself, so I kept running through areas with low hp and surviving with my top tier dodging skills. 

There are a few issues I had with the game mechanics that kind of got in the way of my enjoyment of the game. The first was with the range of the attacks. Sometimes, I would swing at a slime or skeleton with my dagger, and it would miss so I would try coming closer to guarantee a hit and I would end up taking damage. Also, without some kind of crosshair marking where you're clicking, there is no sense of knowing where the attack is going to land. Therefore, I think adding a crosshair or a dot to mark the middle of the screen along with adding just a tiny bit of range to the weapons would help fix these problems.

Another issue I faced while playing is the UI of the inventory.  I thought I could shoot a skeleton from far away with my crossbow and the switch over to my short sword to finish it off, but I got stuck in the middle of swapping and ended up dying because of it. To make it easier to swap weapons in the middle of combat, I would suggest making the scroll wheel bigger to display more items, since it only displays two at a time, or to make a section dedicated to holding your items and have the display screen for the items to the side.

Overall, I found his to be a pretty fun demo. I understand that this isn't the complete game and that it isn't the finished product. The problems I listed are pretty small and don't do a lot to take away from the enjoyment of the game. If you made it to the end of this to figure out if this is a game worth playing, I think you should try it out.

TLDR: Fun game with a few problems

I absolutly love this, and would love to see more if you decide to keep working on it, you've nailed the feel of a King's Field game while making it a rouge like, and I am in love with It

I hope you can keep up the project, and I would be ecstatic to buy and play it if you make it a full game!!!!!

Hey I really like this demo! If you're still wanting to make it bigger and need funding message me @Stylish_Kira, I'd love to publish it as long as I can sneak some Lunacid references in 

its looking like if kings field and the roguelike genre had a child 

and I love it

great job!! i hope you keep making games!

Congratulations for the amazing demo! I really enjoyed playing it.
