The game allows the player three slots to carry items in. Despite the appearance, there are some problems. I know because I’ve been that young boy before. The graphics make it look like its some world a young boy made up in his notebook when he should be paying attention in class. It uses stick characters, which are always welcome here. I do like the visuals style that Great Sword is going for. It isn’t deep system by any means, but I won’t knock it either. This lets them increase a variety of different attribute scores to better customize their characters. Players collect coins and score in levels and use the resulting gold to buy more stats. ![]() I almost forgot to mention it, but Great Sword as features a leveling system. For example, there’s a dodge ability that I basically didn’t use because of this layout and the delay on inputs. ![]() This makes it plain awkward to control the game. The game forces the player to use the arrow keys for movement and then splits up the other actions between the X, C, S, D, Q, W, and E keys. It definitively feels like something with potential, but the developer needs to put some more polish on it. When it comes to the overall controls of Great Sword, they just need some work. Players can try to just walk off the edge and do a double jump to get around this, but that delay I mentioned earlier means they may still end up in a pit of spikes below them. This leaves the player easily smacking their head on them and taking damage with just a normal jump. Some platforms are set up with spikes close above them. These areas do have the occasional problem of being overly annoying. There are a few areas with spikes and such that can be a drag, but they don’t show up all to often. The platforming itself in Great Sword is mostly light. Not being able to break an animation breaks what is an otherwise smooth experience. Instead, they waits to finish their attack animation and then jump. This includes trying to jump while attacking. This is the delay that occurs when trying to perform one action after another. I say mostly because there is one major problem I have with it. What I will say about the combat is that it feels mostly smooth. It’s not the deepest of systems, but this is only a demo. However, there are also other moves that players can use while pressing direction keys as well. This includes a basic combo by just pressing the attack button. There are a few different combos that the player can pull off with this weapon. The player wields, you guessed it, a giant great sword. Great Sword is a 2D platformer that has a heavy focus on its combat. Luckily, it didn’t and I can tell you all about the Great Sword demo. Alia and I are in the packing/moving process and it almost completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot about the Time Waster this week. ![]()
