Review of Vortex Wars (Beta)

[Joshua]

@Joshua Thanks for agreeing with me.

No problem

[Ratburntro44]

Okay, lets not get off topic.

But regardless of it it's an MMO or an MOG, it is a good game.

Lol slow down everyone.

First off to address Lopdo I didn't truly compare the game grading wise. You'da gotten a big fat 1 on everything if I had. I simply meant that if I had to choose between the two I would go bigger. That said I did find this game intriguing and more advanced than your average flash game and for that you get applause. Once again I reviewed the Beta and I will certainly come back to this game again once it is out. I have posted my review on several high traffic sites and so you could expect a little traffic increase from the die hards out to prove me wrong. There are lots of them =P

The community thus far seems very mature and very good about how far they push people despite everything that works against this. The Flash community is full o kids and the games inherit 1 man must win deal makes alliances strained. Even then people seem to enjoy working together a lot more than alone and I can't even count the number of times i've heard "Alliance please!"

Ratburno I have classified this game as MMO because the community is large enough that I rarely play the same two players more than once. This makes me feel the community is large and so I have classified it as such. Not only this but the games ability to let guests play means that a lot more players than registered ones are playing the game even as we speek. Lots of 8 player games are running even now. If you still disagree with my analysis that is your right but I would appreciate you not insulting me over it.

I think that covered most everything. If not let me know =P

[Ratburntro44]

I am not insulting you over your analysis, I am politely disagreeing with you.

While I accept this game has a decently large community, that does not make it an MMO, as the game does not support hundreds of thousands of people, nor does it have a persistent world.

[Zerieth]

I will try to keep your opinion in mind when I redo my review >=D

J/k.

[Joshua]

theres no need to redo the review, just edit it

still, I think it would be more constructive if you compared it to original risk, or some other similar game. I don't expect I would rate much higher in that case, but I might have gotten better feedback Anyway, it is my first flash game, so don't expect miracles

That said I did find this game intriguing and more advanced than your average flash game and for that you get applause.

I am afraid that non-beta version will not improve you opinion much as most of issues you addressed (if I recall correctly) are by design and probably won't change. There will be some changes, but nothing that would drastically change core mechanics

[Ratburntro44]

This is your first flash game?

Then how is it so good?

[Lopdo]

because I am awesome, that's why anyway, it is far from perfect and if you think it is good, it is only because I have some previous game dev experience. I just never made flash game before (neither multiplayer game for that matter)

[Ratburntro44]

Lol, you are awesome.

Either way, I knew you had previous dev experience. You told me that you were primarily a mobile developer.
