This game is a great open-world RPG with good combat and strategy. I enjoyed this game. However, I did not end up finishing it as it has a hard learning curve for new players. After giving up I tried out a tutorial, it was helpful and short. But, I still only managed to collect 2 of the 4 crystals. The graphics were better than I expected. One change I would make is having a way to regenerate health without the use of spells or potions, natural regeneration could work if you are out of combat. The "I" for inventory makes sense but it's on the other side of the keyboard so it's a bit hard to press. Overall, the game was great, the combat was good, but the game in general was a bit hard for newer players, the tutorial is helpful and quick, and the graphics are also good. In total, I think this game is a 8/10.
In general I really enjoyed playing the game even though I only got two of the crystals. I liked the combat system and how there are a variety of weapons and gear to choose from. I also like the controls however I think that an option to make your own key binds would be great because it took a while to get used to them. One thing that I think could make the game better and more enjoyable is a way to regenerate your health. When I played on the Knight difficulty it was still challenging at the beginning because there where not so many health potions and I did not have a lot of mana to use spells to heal myself. What I did like though was the story and how sometimes in the village some of the characters had voice lines. Last but not least I like the area in the back of the village where there was a picture of the creator and thought it was cool how it rewarded you for brining it gold. Overall I would probably play the game again and finish it however it is a little bit annoying how you cant save manually. I would probably rate it 7/10.
Overall the game isn’t bad, the concept is fun and the in game world is well designed. The shops, the buildings, the NPCs, even the menu were well made. From a beginners perspective, it was clear to understand and I quickly got the gists of the controls. The story was quite engaging as well, even though there wasn’t much context involved. I also appreciated how you had multiple choices to choose from when speaking to a NPC. One thing I particularly liked was the UI and inventory system as it was very polished and simple to understand. However, what drags the game down is the lack of polishing put into the game. When I played through the game I encountered some bugs and features that would interfere with the overall flow of gameplay, such as dialogue blocks constantly popping up and locked doors with no collision. As well, I felt like the pacing was a bit off. Since there’s multiple ways to go from the start, it’s pretty difficult to know where to go at what stage of the game. This usually leads to many avoidable encounters with enemies, as you can’t run away as they’ll chase you till you die. You just had to hope you had strong enough armour, potions and weapons to survive. Speaking of which, items are very scarce.
Compared to other games, the gist is pretty similar to those such as RuneScape and Skyrim, however what it does differently is the lego like style and art, which separates it from other games. The money, models, and more are all themed around lego, which makes the world feel unique.
Overall, while the game was tough and some features were broken and all, I still enjoyed the game. Excited to see what you plan on making next!
The game was very interesting! I loved the design and the game ran very smoothly on my PC. A few problems I noticed in the initial gameplay were that you couldn't access a settings menu in game to change the volume or anything, and I kept on pushing the NPC's as I was talking to them. My favorite part of the game was the music and how it changed depending on what type of area your character is in. Overall a game that needs some improvements, but still fun! 7/10.
I thought the game was very engaging. The beginning with the video to give the backstory was very cool, I enjoyed the fact of communicating with the in game character and thought the response text were hilarious. Given so, the game itself for me was a little too basic, for example there isn't any skill involved in fighting and the game heavily relies on your weapons. The tree's and the grass were more detailed than the mountains/hill in the game. I found it difficult to move due to the camera angle being in the way of trees. One aspect of the game that I thought was well thought out was the controls and how they were interoperated in task to learn how to use certain keys. I enjoyed playing the game and died a few times because I couldn't find a way to kill the little goblin.
Once I figured out the gameplay mechanics, this game was relatively easy to play. I usually don't watch tutorials unless I'm stuck but I found that I needed to watch the tutorial for this one, although thankfully the tutorial was short. Initially, I died multiple times and gave up. After a second try, I found that it was easier and I was definitely more engaged the second time around. (Hint for the fights: save your health potions. You will need them later.) The graphics and music were better than most RPG games. The music was repetitive but not annoying like it can be in some games and it was organized well by area theme. I found that opening the inventory was confusing because the I button needs to be used, which I thought said 1. Maybe it should be a lowercase I instead or a more distinguishable letter. I wish I could use the arrow keys to move the character around so it would be easier to navigate rather than using the track-pad. Overall, it's a very good and well-developed game. It is incredibly easy to play. If there was a tablet port for this, I would definitely try it out, so I could see anything different from it. But overall: A good game. Very fun to play, enjoyable and has a good soundtrack. For me, this type of game usually isn't my style even though I love the open-world game style, but this deserves a solid 8.5 out of 10. Good gameplay, amazing music, and incredible graphics all add up to one incredibly immersive experience playing the game. Thank you for making such an amazing and fun game!
I really liked how the enviroment looked and the music fits really well with the different locations. The town was really detailed with the people and the shops that were there. The healer and the townspeople that you could buy things from is a neat touch, but the bartender is such a well-designed character that it’s a shame that he plays such an insignificant role in the story. The bow feels a little worse and less fun to play with because of its range being decreased. The inventory system is really developed, and you can make your character the way you want them to feel. The dialogue feels slow and can’t be sped up or skipped so it can feel a little boring while waiting for the dialogue to progress. Overall, the game is good with some minor things that take away from the game a little.
The quests work very well and the hud looks very nice as well, however the cons I noticed heavily outweigh the pros. First the text boxes compared to the size of the text and character icons is way too big. It may look different on other resolutions but I tested with 1080p. The combat is very bland, it's less skill based and more of you just needing strong enough gear to do enough damage to the enemy before it does enough to you, no dodging and from what i played no blocking. The fixed camera angle becomes a problem when there are trees blocking where your character is, due to it blocking your cursor, so you can't move. The realistic grass and trees look way more detailed compared to the ground textures which looks very odd. Character animations are re-used on multiple characters and looks very poorly made. The collision on locked doors doesn't work and you can just walk straight through them. To top it off the menu lacks settings. If the resolution is not configurable from in game the volume of music and sounds should be at least.
I like the concept of the game. I think the quests are a nice idea but I also think the controls are a bit finicky. I like most of the interface, the only downsides are that the textbox takes up half of the screen and when you move one way your actually going in a different direction on the map. I do like the inventory aspect. I think it's a good start but there are some little things that if they were fixed it would make the game better.
It's very inspired, I can see a lot of controls or concepts from different games here and there, but so many things are a just little annoying to do. The dialogue box (which takes up half the screen) has such tiny font, when click a dialogue option I mistakenly chose the wrong one, the bad thing is a lot of what your character says is quite rude. Another frustrating thing is the camera doesn't match up with the map. When you go north, you're actually going west, which is a little disorienting and confusing. There are some things that could do with just a little fix, which could make the game exponentially better. Such as making it so you can't move when talking to someone, fix the checkpoints so they're not only when you enter a new area, don't let me do the same quest multiple times (a bug I found.) With simple fixes here and there this game would be a game that could make the featured page.
The movement and NPC interactions felt very choppy at times and the combat was very basic with it being a point and click type of combat system, although I must admit I'm not the type of person to play these type of games so I'm not sure if it's like this for every other game in this genre. All in all I think that the combat can use a rework as it feels more turn based since all you really do it just click until your enemy is dead. Movement can also be improved upon as at times it can be fairly wonky.
This game is a little rough around the edges. I have several minor complaints about everything. Combat is dull, movement is slow and unresponsive, I could go on. However, it is unfair to judge this game as a finished product. There is still work that needs to be done, so I have decided to overlook those minor complaints.
The game started with a cinematic cutscene that introduces the player to the world. Instantly the user is thrust into the action, fighting the first enemy takes at most one minute.
On the technical side, the game can run just fine on a run of the mill computer. Easily clocking 30fps there was more than enough performance to enjoy the game. Graphics looked sharp even on the lowest settings. My only complaint would be the animations. While attacking sometimes the character will stand still instead of making a move. Again it is a minor detail however, it does still exist.
Overall I think this game is worth anybody's time, it is very easy to pick up and enjoy. When this game is finished I recon that it will be quite a bit more enjoyable. Something I would revisit for sure.
The world and exploration are probably the best parts of this game, exploring the world, looking for quest objectives was at least interesting. The real problem, in my opinion, is the combat. there is no way to evade attacks, as far as I know, meaning the combat is essentially turn based, except without the strategies typically found in turn based combat. I will say, I didn't get very far in the game, and I did spot a loading screen that mentioned spells, which would add a bit of complexity to the combat, but my point still stands, at least for the early game. This game seems to have potential to be better, perhaps it just gets better later on, but from my little experience, its just ok.
In my opinion, I think that the game is a good concept, but I don't think that this game is for me. I do like myself a good RPG game but I don't think this is that great for me. I don't really like the click to move system, mostly because the left mouse button is already being used for attack. I would prefer movement to stick to the WASD keys like most games do. The combat in this game is pretty boring, it's just repeatedly clicking the enemy with no skill or strategies at all. I like games that require at least a small bit of skill to be used to be able to defeat an enemy so I'm not a big fan of this game. The map and graphics itself is fine. I don't mind the lower graphics and the lego characters. In my opinion, I think that the game doesn't have the best movement and combat which is pretty much the whole point of the game. The concept is good, but I don't think that it was made very well. I would give this game a 4.5/10
Over the last few years, I've seen what the game has looked like. It started out looking really rough but it's evolving into something interesting. Of course, this was made with Unity so it's not going to be the most complex game or the best looking game, but I think it looks pretty good. There are a few gameplay mechanics I wish there were like skipping some of the dialogues or at least speeding them up. I don't love the point and click aspect of moving, I wish it had WASD capabilities. From previous versions there we more weapons around the map which I wish had stayed in the game. I like how the strategy of running away from enemies had been fixed. :)
I liked the game and the story line but it wasn't really my type of game I like but it was fun and I recommend it foe younger age like elementary school and one problem was the enemy I think the did a lot of damage and they followed you and never stopped and I think that could get people frustrated. but i also enjoyed the quests and I give the game a 6.5/10.
I am not one who plays many computer games but I did enjoy what I could do with this one. I really liked the design of the world and thought things were pretty clear. There was not much lagging and very little misunderstandings which made the game run more smoothly. I enjoyed the goal and thought it was a good game for beginners such as myself. There was not much going on where I was at which some people find boring, but I found it more fun because I could focus on how to actually play. As I said I don't play games very often but if I were too I would consider this one to get some more skills.
It definitely plays alright and I can see some inspiration from Diablo, but my biggest issue was the combat. It's not necessarily bad, but very incredibly shallow. There's only one way you can tackle enemies, which is run up to them and start attacking. Even the ranged combat works this way, as the easiest and only way to do it is to be taking damage as you deal it. All you do is click an enemy and brute force your way through it. The open world is fine, since I'm interpreting the point to be to explore at your pace since the second guy you have to find is very hidden. I'm not typically a fan of these types of games, but for someone who does, I think it's fine. There's not much else I can comment on, since the movement is fine albeit slightly annoying due to terrain, the quests are there, the map is somehow both the most useful and useless thing to exist, and the dialogue is pretty entertaining. I do like certain aspects, like equipment showing up on your character when you use it, but the main game is walking around trying to find things, waiting for enemies to die, and possibly getting lost. The presentation is pretty nice and the world is fine, and it's probably at least 6x better than anything I could come up with, but overall, not for me.
the sprite interaction is very choppy and a lot of the time annoying. It has a fine story line but the main aspects of the gameplay has a lot of flaws. The worst flaw was the movement restriction, when ever the path was behind a tree line you could not make your character move there you would have to try and try again. The inventory doesn't have an item status until you equip items and then NPC communication had way too many flaws like: getting stuck in NPC when trying to communicate, small font, and limited answers that most of the time didn't make sense. My total review of this game is a 4/10 there is definitely a lot of things that can be adapted or improved in this game.
As a video gamer my self, I am not the type to play these types of games since I like to rush in to action unless the story gives interest to me.
Within the game I have went through many deaths till I learned that talking to the NPC's is mandatory in order to get to where you need to be. The enemies have a fair feeling to where shooting at a distance and how the others without the weapons the fire try to gang up on you with the melee weapons.
With the audio the background is great but should change from different sections within the game, the idea from someone else's review of intense music is a good idea but should really just be implanted when in a boss battle, I have not gone through the game fully and have no clue what is in it towards the end, only have gotten to the village and that is all.
Playing something similar to this, I also feel that the enemies following you after you engaged with them is good, since if you try leaving them they still follow, but at that say, when running away from them, from time to time they should slow off and no longer push to try and grab you at the wrong time so that you as the player can plan out how you would achieve getting passed the enemies.
The graphics within the game is smooth but has some little jumps where the graphics get a little fuzzy but then gets better within seconds, I do also like how it was Lego characters while the field didn't feel like Lego and more of something less pixelated and blocky.
Apart from everything I have said, the feel for the game is great and can be challenging when you are more of a rusher than a person to take time to know the story.
The game was nice but there were some problems like many of the destinations were hard to find and often you could easily become overcrowded by monsters. I also dont appreciate the mostly mouse only game play and i think it would be way better to have WASD to move and the mouse to attack and navigate the inventory. I also feel like the text size during conversations with NPC's can be bigger and the conversation could be sped up. in conclusion i would give this game a 5/10 but with the problems fixed and maybe implementing WASD it would probably be more of a 8/10
Something that could be added is more healing sources - also for the enemies to have less of an advantage, as enemies with bows could shoot from a distance and do a lot of damage. There are a lot of enemies scattered around the app, so I think it would be cool and less overwhelming if some of the enemies had their bubble/zone, and if you got too close, they would start attacking you, but you still have time to get out and they would leave you alone. Different music would make the game more captivating, for example, intense music during a battle. I really like the storyline and music, as well as the graphics.
Somethings that I feel you could improve is that you could make the quest objectives stand out a ton more and make it a lot more easier to track quests. this game seems to be for a younger audience and younger audiences tend to skip dialog or at the very least they just don't remember dialog. Something else is to make healing more accessible, since if they run out of the healing potions they get in the beginning and can't get more they would get frustrated and might quit. Maybe something like a weak healing spell at the beginning might just do the trick. The last thing that I'll point out is that the video tutorial should be a mandatory thing to view rather than an icon in the menu that one could easily miss.
I enjoyed the game while playing it and think it would be fun for a younger age group like middle or elementary school children. I enjoyed the story and thought the map was cool, I liked how I could explore areas and find new quests to do. The only thing I didn't like was combat with enemies with any kind of ranged weapon because for example enemies with a bow could shoot super far, do a lot of damage, and have perfect aim so it was very difficult to get away from them and they would chase you forever and never stop. Apart from the combat in the game I really enjoyed playing it and would recommend it to other people.
This game is great for a first time game dev. The game includes open world exploration and from what I've played you can use ranged attacks and close combat. The game is still a little bit buggy but plays fine. In the beginning of the game its really hard as you don't have many healing options, what would recommend is campfires placed around the map healing the player if they are next to it or simply just more starting potions. Even if you don't have a very powerful computer you can still run this game good with fast graphics. Overall this game is great for a one person made game and is definitely worth checking out.
I enjoyed the fact that there are many options like side quests and optional missions that you can be rewarded for. I also thought that the use of inventory space was really good how you could have armor, weapons and even a combo of a shield and a sword. Something I think might need some tweaking though would be the sounds for example a sound for collecting studs and maybe when walking on grass putting a sound effect you would hear when on grass would be more appealing. Something that in my opinion really should change would be the music since it gets a bit annoying after a few minutes of gameplay, maybe if there was more intense music in fighting moments and peaceful music when talking to civilians. The use of "WASD" controls would feel more comfortable, and there it would be better if there were more ways to heal up rather than just potions from monsters, for example maybe campfires or certain foods and plants you can find.
I enjoyed playing the game, but it isn't my type of game. PVP with melee was boring, but with the bow was fun. With the bow, I did a strategy called "Kiting", it's when I make a distance between me and my opponent so that I can shoot them without getting hit (only works if they are melee). I like the mapping system, and the dialogue between characters. I would recommend it to kids 8+, and I would recommend it to people who like Lego. I would rate this 6/10.
i enjoyed the game. i liked the graphics i wish the character was controlled by w a s and d or the arrow keys. i liked the story its easy to follow. i also wish that the people had voices when they are talking but other then that its overall a high quality game
I like this game it like an old Lego game that I have played. The graphics are good for a game like this it looks like an old star wars Lego game it is fun but a spam game. The main crater is fast so you can get to places faster. This game is a fun game if you like Lego games. I would give this game a 7.5/10
I actually enjoyed this game, and i think other people would like it too. i wouldnt recommend it for older kids but for a younger demographic i think its pretty decent. there were a few things that i didnt really like but i think that the them really fitted with the music, plot, and quests. In my opinion its a good structured game. 6.5/10
This is an enjoyable game for a younger audience, I liked the wacky characters in this game like the small goblins hiding in bushes and like the scientist. I would've enjoyed this game more if there was any sort of tab to the side which informs you about any new items you receive as that may have been very informative in fights. In conclusion this game is very well made and very entertaining.
Quality game and good attention to details. The music is nice. The movement can be a bit buggy sometimes so I would switch to wasd to make it a bit easier. One other thing I would add is the text for characters is a bit small in my opinion. Overall great game and would recommend to others.
Personally I think the game is pretty good. The story and music is nice and the game itself is pretty immersive and fun to play, especially talking to random characters. The only problems I have is having a hard time finding places that the quests want you to go to. It would of been have better if upon accepting quest there would of been an preset mark that appears on the map. But otherwise great game, I would give it an 8.5/10
Ezmore's Crystal is a really entertaining game. It has many options for character customization, being able to customize appearance. I like that you can customize your characters fighting class, bow, melee, magic, it's all there. I wish there was a bit more directions on where to go, for instance I was having trouble locating an area, it took a while to actually find it. Besides that the combat system is quick and simple which I like. Ezmore's Crystal is a great game for kids!
honestly not my favorite game, its not my style. But something I will say is that its a good game for little kids and older mature kids. Might be a good game for people who are into lego. This game seems like it would be a game on the wii console, its still a good quality game though. there is so much effort into this game and they worked really hard on this game! But overall is pretty good for a game:) but i would say theres some things I dont like about the game things that could make it better.
A good quality game, something I would play on steam for a good deal, not necessarily my style of game, but still very good quality, reminds me of the lego games i used to play on my wii, when I was younger. Almost like a older adult playing a newer fake 3d game, reminding them of Wolfenstein 3d. Some mechanics are like the Zelda series, which I really appreciate. Only flaw i've found with the game, is the framedrops when you open the minimap. Overall, a very good quality game.
I enjoyed how you have multiple places to go to and many other side quests to do which leaves more things for you to do in the game than a linear story. I also enjoyed the dialogue between the player and NPCs which I found entertaining. Although, sometimes the cursor would get stuck when the player is behind some trees and it is hard to move out of it, but other than that I enjoyed the game.
I really like this game! It's great for younger kids. Loved how you got to choose what you did with the game. As well as there aren't levels you have to complete to continue playing but instead there are quests to guide you through the game. It's something fun to pass time but also doesn't leave you frustrated. Definitely recommend Ezmore's Crystals!
I loved playing this game! The microRPG style was perfect for a single-session play. The world of Lagosland feels exciting and fresh, I love the idea of animating Lego for videogame purposes! This game has a super engaging main quest, lots of side quests, and dungeon sections that always keep you on your toes. Amazing!! If you're considering playing Ezmore's Crystals, do it! You won't be disappointed :)

The quests work very well and the hud looks very nice as well, however the cons I noticed heavily outweigh the pros. First the text boxes compared to the size of the text and character icons is way too big. It may look different on other resolutions but I tested with 1080p. The combat is very bland, it's less skill based and more of you just needing strong enough gear to do enough damage to the enemy before it does enough to you, no dodging and from what i played no blocking. The fixed camera angle becomes a problem when there are trees blocking where your character is, due to it blocking your cursor, so you can't move. The realistic grass and trees look way more detailed compared to the ground textures which looks very odd. Character animations are re-used on multiple characters and looks very poorly made.

I like most of the interface, the only downsides are that the textbox takes up half of the screen and when you move one way your actually going in a different direction on the map. I do like the inventory aspect. I think it's a good start but there are some little things that if they were fixed it would make the game better.
This game is far from finished.
It's very inspired, I can see a lot of controls or concepts from different games here and there, but so many things are a just little annoying to do. The dialogue box (which takes up half the screen) has such tiny font, when click a dialogue option I mistakenly chose the wrong one, the bad thing is a lot of what your character says is quite rude. Another frustrating thing is the camera doesn't match up with the map. When you go north, you're actually going west, which is a little disorienting and confusing. There are some things that could do with just a little fix, which could make the game exponentially better. Such as making it so you can't move when talking to someone, fix the checkpoints so they're not only when you enter a new area, don't let me do the same quest multiple times (a bug I found.) With simple fixes here and there this game would be a game that could make the featured page.
The movement and NPC interactions felt very choppy at times and the combat was very basic with it being a point and click type of combat system, although I must admit I'm not the type of person to play these type of games so I'm not sure if it's like this for every other game in this genre. All in all I think that the combat can use a rework as it feels more turn based since all you really do it just click until your enemy is dead. Movement can also be improved upon as at times it can be fairly wonky.
Enjoyable!
This game is a little rough around the edges. I have several minor complaints about everything. Combat is dull, movement is slow and unresponsive, I could go on. However, it is unfair to judge this game as a finished product. There is still work that needs to be done, so I have decided to overlook those minor complaints.
The game started with a cinematic cutscene that introduces the player to the world. Instantly the user is thrust into the action, fighting the first enemy takes at most one minute.
On the technical side, the game can run just fine on a run of the mill computer. Easily clocking 30fps there was more than enough performance to enjoy the game. Graphics looked sharp even on the lowest settings. My only complaint would be the animations. While attacking sometimes the character will stand still instead of making a move. Again it is a minor detail however, it does still exist.
Overall I think this game is worth anybody's time, it is very easy to pick up and enjoy. When this game is finished I recon that it will be quite a bit more enjoyable. Something I would revisit for sure.
Its alright.
The world and exploration are probably the best parts of this game, exploring the world, looking for quest objectives was at least interesting. The real problem, in my opinion, is the combat. there is no way to evade attacks, as far as I know, meaning the combat is essentially turn based, except without the strategies typically found in turn based combat. I will say, I didn't get very far in the game, and I did spot a loading screen that mentioned spells, which would add a bit of complexity to the combat, but my point still stands, at least for the early game. This game seems to have potential to be better, perhaps it just gets better later on, but from my little experience, its just ok.
4/10
In my opinion, I think that the game is a good concept, but I don't think that this game is for me. I do like myself a good RPG game but I don't think this is that great for me. I don't really like the click to move system, mostly because the left mouse button is already being used for attack. I would prefer movement to stick to the WASD keys like most games do. The combat in this game is pretty boring, it's just repeatedly clicking the enemy with no skill or strategies at all. I like games that require at least a small bit of skill to be used to be able to defeat an enemy so I'm not a big fan of this game. The map and graphics itself is fine. I don't mind the lower graphics and the lego characters. In my opinion, I think that the game doesn't have the best movement and combat which is pretty much the whole point of the game. The concept is good, but I don't think that it was made very well. I would give this game a 4.5/10
Great progress.
Over the last few years, I've seen what the game has looked like. It started out looking really rough but it's evolving into something interesting. Of course, this was made with Unity so it's not going to be the most complex game or the best looking game, but I think it looks pretty good. There are a few gameplay mechanics I wish there were like skipping some of the dialogues or at least speeding them up. I don't love the point and click aspect of moving, I wish it had WASD capabilities. From previous versions there we more weapons around the map which I wish had stayed in the game. I like how the strategy of running away from enemies had been fixed. :)
6.5,7/10
I liked the game and the story line but it wasn't really my type of game I like but it was fun and I recommend it foe younger age like elementary school and one problem was the enemy I think the did a lot of damage and they followed you and never stopped and I think that could get people frustrated. but i also enjoyed the quests and I give the game a 6.5/10.
I am not one who plays many computer games but I did enjoy what I could do with this one. I really liked the design of the world and thought things were pretty clear. There was not much lagging and very little misunderstandings which made the game run more smoothly. I enjoyed the goal and thought it was a good game for beginners such as myself. There was not much going on where I was at which some people find boring, but I found it more fun because I could focus on how to actually play. As I said I don't play games very often but if I were too I would consider this one to get some more skills.
I have mixed feelings about this game.
It definitely plays alright and I can see some inspiration from Diablo, but my biggest issue was the combat. It's not necessarily bad, but very incredibly shallow. There's only one way you can tackle enemies, which is run up to them and start attacking. Even the ranged combat works this way, as the easiest and only way to do it is to be taking damage as you deal it. All you do is click an enemy and brute force your way through it. The open world is fine, since I'm interpreting the point to be to explore at your pace since the second guy you have to find is very hidden. I'm not typically a fan of these types of games, but for someone who does, I think it's fine. There's not much else I can comment on, since the movement is fine albeit slightly annoying due to terrain, the quests are there, the map is somehow both the most useful and useless thing to exist, and the dialogue is pretty entertaining. I do like certain aspects, like equipment showing up on your character when you use it, but the main game is walking around trying to find things, waiting for enemies to die, and possibly getting lost. The presentation is pretty nice and the world is fine, and it's probably at least 6x better than anything I could come up with, but overall, not for me.
4/10
This game needs work
the sprite interaction is very choppy and a lot of the time annoying. It has a fine story line but the main aspects of the gameplay has a lot of flaws. The worst flaw was the movement restriction, when ever the path was behind a tree line you could not make your character move there you would have to try and try again. The inventory doesn't have an item status until you equip items and then NPC communication had way too many flaws like: getting stuck in NPC when trying to communicate, small font, and limited answers that most of the time didn't make sense. My total review of this game is a 4/10 there is definitely a lot of things that can be adapted or improved in this game.
As a video gamer my self, I am not the type to play these types of games since I like to rush in to action unless the story gives interest to me.
Within the game I have went through many deaths till I learned that talking to the NPC's is mandatory in order to get to where you need to be. The enemies have a fair feeling to where shooting at a distance and how the others without the weapons the fire try to gang up on you with the melee weapons.
With the audio the background is great but should change from different sections within the game, the idea from someone else's review of intense music is a good idea but should really just be implanted when in a boss battle, I have not gone through the game fully and have no clue what is in it towards the end, only have gotten to the village and that is all.
Playing something similar to this, I also feel that the enemies following you after you engaged with them is good, since if you try leaving them they still follow, but at that say, when running away from them, from time to time they should slow off and no longer push to try and grab you at the wrong time so that you as the player can plan out how you would achieve getting passed the enemies.
The graphics within the game is smooth but has some little jumps where the graphics get a little fuzzy but then gets better within seconds, I do also like how it was Lego characters while the field didn't feel like Lego and more of something less pixelated and blocky.
Apart from everything I have said, the feel for the game is great and can be challenging when you are more of a rusher than a person to take time to know the story.
The game was nice but there were some problems like many of the destinations were hard to find and often you could easily become overcrowded by monsters. I also dont appreciate the mostly mouse only game play and i think it would be way better to have WASD to move and the mouse to attack and navigate the inventory. I also feel like the text size during conversations with NPC's can be bigger and the conversation could be sped up. in conclusion i would give this game a 5/10 but with the problems fixed and maybe implementing WASD it would probably be more of a 8/10
I enjoyed playing this game.
Something that could be added is more healing sources - also for the enemies to have less of an advantage, as enemies with bows could shoot from a distance and do a lot of damage. There are a lot of enemies scattered around the app, so I think it would be cool and less overwhelming if some of the enemies had their bubble/zone, and if you got too close, they would start attacking you, but you still have time to get out and they would leave you alone. Different music would make the game more captivating, for example, intense music during a battle. I really like the storyline and music, as well as the graphics.
It's a good game!
Somethings that I feel you could improve is that you could make the quest objectives stand out a ton more and make it a lot more easier to track quests. this game seems to be for a younger audience and younger audiences tend to skip dialog or at the very least they just don't remember dialog. Something else is to make healing more accessible, since if they run out of the healing potions they get in the beginning and can't get more they would get frustrated and might quit. Maybe something like a weak healing spell at the beginning might just do the trick. The last thing that I'll point out is that the video tutorial should be a mandatory thing to view rather than an icon in the menu that one could easily miss.
Over all I would rate this game a 6/10

I enjoyed the game while playing it and think it would be fun for a younger age group like middle or elementary school children. I enjoyed the story and thought the map was cool, I liked how I could explore areas and find new quests to do. The only thing I didn't like was combat with enemies with any kind of ranged weapon because for example enemies with a bow could shoot super far, do a lot of damage, and have perfect aim so it was very difficult to get away from them and they would chase you forever and never stop. Apart from the combat in the game I really enjoyed playing it and would recommend it to other people.
This game is great for a first time game dev. The game includes open world exploration and from what I've played you can use ranged attacks and close combat. The game is still a little bit buggy but plays fine. In the beginning of the game its really hard as you don't have many healing options, what would recommend is campfires placed around the map healing the player if they are next to it or simply just more starting potions. Even if you don't have a very powerful computer you can still run this game good with fast graphics. Overall this game is great for a one person made game and is definitely worth checking out.
I really like the game and I enjoyed. The music was good and I really like the idea of this game but I like to walk with W not mousse but I like it.
I enjoyed the fact that there are many options like side quests and optional missions that you can be rewarded for. I also thought that the use of inventory space was really good how you could have armor, weapons and even a combo of a shield and a sword. Something I think might need some tweaking though would be the sounds for example a sound for collecting studs and maybe when walking on grass putting a sound effect you would hear when on grass would be more appealing. Something that in my opinion really should change would be the music since it gets a bit annoying after a few minutes of gameplay, maybe if there was more intense music in fighting moments and peaceful music when talking to civilians. The use of "WASD" controls would feel more comfortable, and there it would be better if there were more ways to heal up rather than just potions from monsters, for example maybe campfires or certain foods and plants you can find.
I enjoyed playing the game, but it isn't my type of game. PVP with melee was boring, but with the bow was fun. With the bow, I did a strategy called "Kiting", it's when I make a distance between me and my opponent so that I can shoot them without getting hit (only works if they are melee). I like the mapping system, and the dialogue between characters. I would recommend it to kids 8+, and I would recommend it to people who like Lego. I would rate this 6/10.
i enjoyed the game. i liked the graphics i wish the character was controlled by w a s and d or the arrow keys. i liked the story its easy to follow. i also wish that the people had voices when they are talking but other then that its overall a high quality game
I like this game it like an old Lego game that I have played. The graphics are good for a game like this it looks like an old star wars Lego game it is fun but a spam game. The main crater is fast so you can get to places faster. This game is a fun game if you like Lego games. I would give this game a 7.5/10
I actually enjoyed this game, and i think other people would like it too. i wouldnt recommend it for older kids but for a younger demographic i think its pretty decent. there were a few things that i didnt really like but i think that the them really fitted with the music, plot, and quests. In my opinion its a good structured game. 6.5/10
This is an enjoyable game for a younger audience, I liked the wacky characters in this game like the small goblins hiding in bushes and like the scientist. I would've enjoyed this game more if there was any sort of tab to the side which informs you about any new items you receive as that may have been very informative in fights. In conclusion this game is very well made and very entertaining.
Quality game and good attention to details. The music is nice. The movement can be a bit buggy sometimes so I would switch to wasd to make it a bit easier. One other thing I would add is the text for characters is a bit small in my opinion. Overall great game and would recommend to others.
Personally I think the game is pretty good. The story and music is nice and the game itself is pretty immersive and fun to play, especially talking to random characters. The only problems I have is having a hard time finding places that the quests want you to go to. It would of been have better if upon accepting quest there would of been an preset mark that appears on the map. But otherwise great game, I would give it an 8.5/10
Ezmore's Crystal is a really entertaining game. It has many options for character customization, being able to customize appearance. I like that you can customize your characters fighting class, bow, melee, magic, it's all there. I wish there was a bit more directions on where to go, for instance I was having trouble locating an area, it took a while to actually find it. Besides that the combat system is quick and simple which I like. Ezmore's Crystal is a great game for kids!
honestly not my favorite game, its not my style. But something I will say is that its a good game for little kids and older mature kids. Might be a good game for people who are into lego. This game seems like it would be a game on the wii console, its still a good quality game though. there is so much effort into this game and they worked really hard on this game! But overall is pretty good for a game:) but i would say theres some things I dont like about the game things that could make it better.
A good quality game, something I would play on steam for a good deal, not necessarily my style of game, but still very good quality, reminds me of the lego games i used to play on my wii, when I was younger. Almost like a older adult playing a newer fake 3d game, reminding them of Wolfenstein 3d. Some mechanics are like the Zelda series, which I really appreciate. Only flaw i've found with the game, is the framedrops when you open the minimap. Overall, a very good quality game.
I enjoyed how you have multiple places to go to and many other side quests to do which leaves more things for you to do in the game than a linear story. I also enjoyed the dialogue between the player and NPCs which I found entertaining. Although, sometimes the cursor would get stuck when the player is behind some trees and it is hard to move out of it, but other than that I enjoyed the game.
I really like this game! It's great for younger kids. Loved how you got to choose what you did with the game. As well as there aren't levels you have to complete to continue playing but instead there are quests to guide you through the game. It's something fun to pass time but also doesn't leave you frustrated. Definitely recommend Ezmore's Crystals!
I loved playing this game! The microRPG style was perfect for a single-session play. The world of Lagosland feels exciting and fresh, I love the idea of animating Lego for videogame purposes! This game has a super engaging main quest, lots of side quests, and dungeon sections that always keep you on your toes. Amazing!! If you're considering playing Ezmore's Crystals, do it! You won't be disappointed :)
