well. since i'm online atm for another issue. i'll reply.
I was asking about LonaRPG, when i asked about the game. my reply was one of frustration. although not directed specifically at you. but at how games are reviewed, categorized, and explained in general. I have no issues with you at all. just was in a ranting mood.
---------------------more ranting
the main point of it was. (although it was a rant. sorry). that a combat system doesn't define a game for me. i'll put it this way. say LonaRPG, is like black souls I & II, in npc +quest structure, and design storytelling, secrets/puzzles, writing style, atmosphere, general gameplay, etc. only difference being 1 has real time action combat. and the other being generic RPGM turn based combat. this is a very small part of the games.
i would then say something like. LonaRPG is basically like black Souls. but, with action combat. this tells you everything you need to know about the game(besides the actual sexual content. blacksouls being male protag, with only some defeat-fuck.).
same way that if i said say blah blah is a diablo clone. i know what i'm in for probably. crazy randomized dungeon labyrinths. colour coded, randomized loot, with random enchantments, 3-6 predetermined characters, with set classes, equipment, and stats. and an arcadey skill tree leveling system with like 3-4 different abilities to choose, and some small passive buffs, no roleplaying. and a heavy focus on hacking and slashing hordes of enemies for those sweet, sweet upgrades.
not all these would necessarily be true. but Most of them would. and the general gameplay of hacking enemies, looting bodies, picking up randomized items, and selling everything else, would probably be true. I know the experience of the game.
---------------------tl;dr
now, on this site. yeah, you can download whatever, and try etc. (in my case, my HD is full. so i am picky). but when buying a game. this isn't good enough. and that's what i was venting my frustration with. not you in particular. either way. i always hate downloading something. getting excited, and then deleting it, because I feel jaded with the experience. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
in the end. i still have no idea if this game is similar to elona or not. i just know it doesn't have the same battle system. if that is the only major gameplay difference between the 2. then I would LOVE to play it. i wasn't asking for an essay. just if the general gameplay and mechanics are similar. not just the battle system.
anyway. I apologise to everyone for invading the thread for the game. i'll leave things here, unless i decide to try the game out. i realise it's unrelated, and not really fair to the OP.
