Ambrosia Software Web Board: Is it worth registering Cythera? - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Is Cythera worth $25? Comparing it to games like Exile and the soon coming Avernum from [url="http://"http://www.spidweb.com"]Spiderweb Software[/url], I'd rather save my hard earned cash for something a little more sophisticated. Cythera had a superb plot, but I found the mediocre graphics and combat system a turnoff.

I'm waiting for the day when "this side up" arrows appear on grocery bags.

If you've got problems with the graphics, that's your problem, but the combat system. There is not meant to be much combat in the game as the puzzle type plot takes effect. I don't care about the combat system that much myself. If you're looking for a game with a good even mix between plot and combatÐwith other goodiesÐyou'd probably like Escape-Velocity or EV-Override, if you havn't already registered them.

actually, I kinda like the graphics. I think that they're spectacular for most shareware games. If you ask me, Exile's graphics seemed a little crappy...

I think it's well worth the money!

I totaly agree with coldfusion I mean I'm in canada and I payed like 45 dollars with shipping and that took me a wile to get and I was hoping to get more out of it than I did . I agree it is a GREAT game but I dunno about paying 45 canadian for it. so thanks coldfusion for bringing up the subject

So ambrosia lowering the price would be a(well I think)good thing to do......ANYONE WITH ME HERE???

Maybe they could lower the price to twenty, but if I were Glenn, having spent years ( :0 ) on the Delver Code, I'd like it not to go below 20$ (US)

Sitting over here in Europe, $US25 seems like a pretty good deal to me. It's a little buggy but not so as it matters. Yeah, cheap, I come home from work and rather than veg out in front of lots of very poor TV, I play with the Delver game engine (nowhere near finished yet either, I think).

------------------

I heard that TV over there is kindof messed up, but it doesn't get much better over here. I abondoned most TV a long time ago when we got an iMac. If you want TV, get Quicktime player. Just a little FYI for TV.

Go for it.

Delver's intention was to not be the standard hack-and-slash game you can find at random. Its focus is the "look-before-you-leap" principle: think about it, and do it...if you can, of course. Of course, if that ain't your thing, there's still enough hacking-and-slashing to go around.
