Good game! At the start I was really confused because there were alot of dead zombie thing chasing me until I noticed they were my fighters. The game design could have with some work but other than that good game:)

Submitted

Sorry for the late review xD

The idea is nice, but the game starts out of nowhere haha

There's nothing explaining the commands so I didnt know if I could do anything besides swinging my sword of the left mouse button too.

The graphics are really cool though, Id love to play it again if you decide to conitune the project :D

Submitted

Well done! It would be fun to have some special ability or spell, and if the enemies came from different directions and we could split our minions, like give them commands on where to attack! 

I would really appreciate if you could also play and rate my game, I'm looking for feedbacks! Thanks!

Submitted

Good game,

would like to see powerups or a way to restore our ARMY/ZOMBIES and regain health

Man it's really impressive that U made this game in a week unfortunately my pc got broken so I really can't play it :( anyways good luck :)

Submitted

Enjoyable to watch the minions go and destroy those evil knights and shining gold hero...suddenly it dawned on me....

Are we the baddies?' – The Majority

An enjoyable take on the hack and slash genre with lots of potential. Couldn't get the Mac version to run for some reason.

Developer

Hi!

We are sorry that you couldn't run the Mac version, we did the game mainly for Windows. We might fix it in the future :-)

5 star audio and graphics! It does follow the theme and the game design was cool. But there is a lot of scope for improvement! Like the size of the game, its too big. Probably theres some way you can compress the assets in unity but I am not sure.

Submitted

I really enjoyed playing this game, the idea is great and also the gameplay. I would really like to see future updates where you make better graphics, and make more goals to the game.

Submitted

for your very first 3D game i think this is exceptionally good!

Submitted

Good looking game - I like that the sense of scale makes you feel like a powerful Chaos knight. Great idea of having a squad to fight for you - I'd definitely like to see more ways to control it for additional strategy. As it is now, it's just sort of a floating meat shield that damages opponents rather than an army of undead ravagers. I'd like to know whether you intended the knight to have Chaos powers as well - as it is right now, he's seems a bit more like a regular knight with a Chaos skin :-) I hope you continue to develop it!

Developer

Hi, thx for your feedback. We intend to work on the game further, so definitely - there will be special attacks, spells, etc. ... it's just that this isn't work for 1 week but rather for months :)

had a lot of fun with this one! the level was well designed and the 3d models looked good, although i do think they could use a little bit of texture (for instance add more glow to the main characters model). i absolutely love the idea of having an army as your ally, plus adding area damage to the attacks was a great idea. i will say however that making the player stop to attack felt a little bit clunky and watching the same swinging animation over and over does get a bit tiring. i feel like giving the player more offense options aside from hitting left click would add depth to the gameplay. although the game is very straight forward and took me very shortly to figure out the controls it wouldve been nice to at least tell the player at some point. but making a 3d takes a lot of effort and the fact you guys made a 3d of this quality in such little time is truly impressive. congrats!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback :) I appreciate time you put into a review. We originally planned to give the Chaos knight more animations - various types of attack - and our 2D graphic designer already made an icon for 1 special attack, but unfortunatelly, time was against us. As for myself, I worked on the game 14h a day Mon-Sun, and even so, Cathedral have 50% of its textures (I gave up baking textures in 4 a.m. on Sunday xD) and its objects. Chaos knight should have a skin material (something went wrong) and his armor is kind of shit, I know. In the future, I definitelly plan to learn how to use textures properly. All in all, making this game teached me how much is time-consuming to make a 3D RPG and gave me new skills and sped up my modelling ^^

Loved the hack and slash gameplay! Such games r my personal favourite!

The player character looks absolutely amazing!

Its simple yet chaotic and fun!

It was satisfying to kill the minions!

5/5 in all criteria except sound sadly

4/5 in that coz it was a bit not matching the gameplay if u understand what i mean!

But i still rated it 5/5 in all criteria coz such mistakes doesn't downgrade the quality of a game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback :-) We are aware that sound effects are not so good, since this is the only thing we are unable to do ourselves (I mean we have no knowledge of how to do them). Thx to time pressure, we had to lower our standards in that way.

Submitted

Still a pretty awesome game, one of my personal favorites of the jam!

Submitted

Very cool concept! I like the idea of a horde management hack 'n' slash

Submitted

I think you did a very great job at designing the player character and the see monsters who come in later, as well as the wonderful music. I enjoyed it a lot (and my sister who played it too did as well), so yeah, good job, keep it up!

Submitted

Good Job. Simple but very fun. The chaotic Theme is OK for me.

Submitted

Want more mechanics
Developer

It sure does :-) and we will continue working on the game in the future, but 1 week isn't enough to make i.e. special attacks or spells. However, we have a lot of plans.

Submitted

Nice game. Felt like i was Sauron destroying humans. 10/10 would play again. Good luck with the submission!

Submitted

Really enjoyed smashing the little minions. End boss was too hard for me. His attacks felt a little bit weird, but overall really cool game!

Developer

We are happy for your feedback. We are happy for your feedback. We surely will incorporate your suggestions when will be reworking final boss :)

Submitted

Nice jam game my man, I like the way you had your minions when attacking the city, it felt really chaotic when it came to the battles. Also felt a bit like Saruman in the way I was taller than all the warriors haha. The sound felt a bit weird, but at the end, was a good level and design idea, so NICE WORK!
