Thanks to Roman Gadas from Russian Buka Entertainment for sending us some Russian gamers' first impressions (quoted below) of his company's upcoming trade sim/RPG hybrid Spells of Gold.
Here we go:
Buka Entertainment has recently performed a focus test of Jonquil Software's
upcoming RPG Spells of Gold. The game was tested among a group of
experienced Russian gamers, who played through the game and expressed their
opinions on its advantages and disadvantages.
We are pleased to say that the feedback, which we received from the
participants of the test, was generally positive. Most of the participants
liked the developers' idea of combining a role-playing game with elements of
trade simulation, and well-balanced realization of this idea. Many people
praised the huge gaming world and the non-linear storyline of the game. Some
people liked the "painting-like" graphics of the game.
A few criticisms concerning minor gameplay details were made, but the
developers took the participants' remarks into account and promised to make
all necessary changes as soon as by the end of the month, when the
alpha-version is going to be released.
Vilur Shakirov, Head Designer for Jonquil Software commented: " We are
really glad that the participants of the test liked the game, which we are
making. Their comments and suggestions are a great help to us at this stage
of development. We promise to take everything, which the focus group has
said today into consideration; and you will be able to see the changes in
the game as soon as in the upcoming alpha.
About Spells of Gold:
"Spells of Gold" combines role-playing with trade-simulation. The player
assumes a role of a young merchant, whose main activity is buying goods in
one town and selling or exchanging them in another. For this purpose, he has
got a special item - a Magic Sack of Monroke. Thanks to it, he can easily
carry a vast amount of goods. While traveling, the merchant will often
encounter robbers and bandits, warlocks and undead ones, tax collectors and
envious competitors, hired assassins and wandering warriors. It is easy to
guess, that every such meeting will hardly end peacefully. To feel sure and
ready for any unexpected accident and adventure, the player may either
master his fighting skills and become a Warrior, or choose the way of the
Secret Learning and become a Magician. While traveling and trading, fighting
and gaining experience, the main character gradually comprehends the very
essence of the Universe and finally the whole history of the world-creation
and the way to change it is revealed to him:
Key features:
· Role-playing combined with trade simulation;
· Non-linear story allows players to replay the game with an entirely new
perspective;
· Huge game world inhabited by hundreds of fantasy creatures;
· Your character is not limited in experience levels; gain as many skills
and abilities as you wish
· Choose your weapons and armor out of 2000 different types;
· And of course:MAGIC: a variety of spells and potions will help your Hero
in his journeys around the world of Spells of Gold
