Hi guys, please excuse me for jumping in with my game,, ive taken a lot of inspiration lately from openbor titles like Knights and Dragons (so good) and Golden Axe returns). I thought this forum might be a good place to look for some feedback/playtesters in the near future, or share art and so forth.
The game is an oldschool Fantasy Side Scroller Beat em up made in 001 but with more modern equipment menus and shops and stuff, you can collect armour and change outfits. Couch co-op is in for the windows version. Thankyou for taking a look

Reminds me a lot of Knights and Dragons, where mechanically it's really more action platformer that just happens to have a Z axis than a real beat em' up. Normally I complain about action being too frenetic in games - over accelerated and way too much going on to manage on a human level, but this one seems to go the opposite way. It looks a little bit slow and clunky from the video, but maybe that's where things are getting ironed out. The sprite work is really nice, and I like the little voice over inserts.

I am curious to see where it goes. Keep us posted and welcome to the community @evs kan!

oh thanks, yeah wow its really cool to get some opinions from someone who really has studied and understands these types of games. Its quite true that i was trying to
have a bit more of a relaxed experience and not too hectic, i was never into the screen filling FX where you cant see whats going on.
Aiming for more of a goldenaxe type vibe. blocking, backstep to get out of sword range. hopefully it doesnt get too slow and clunky though, ill have to watch out for that.
Thanks for taking a look
