FFCC: My Life As King -First Impressions
shitakemushroomninja | 3:16 PM on 05.23.2008 7 comments



I downloaded this on Tuesday and have played 55 days. I will wait for a full on review until I have finished it. So what are some of the things I like/don't like?

LIKE:
It's pretty deep for a downloadable game. The concept of having others doing the fighting actually works, and there's some good RPG elements in keeping them up to date gear-wise. The graphics are pretty good and the controls and music are nice. Its a very long game. Take that LostWinds! ;)

DISLIKE:
Talking to people is a pain, and you have to do it to boost morale. The game isn't clear enough on how to do important things like to build bakeries in order to increase your morale sphere max. Your adventurers can be very annoying, failing easy missions when they are 5+ levels over the recommendation. Seriously, when I send 4-8 people of Lv.14-21 to fight a Lv.13 boss, I expect someone to f*&^ing win! God. There have been about 6 missions that I have had to spend 5-10 days to beat because my adventurers were dropped on the ehad a s babies or something. What the hell... Oh, and the days are only about 5 minutes long and I always seem to have 5 minutes and 15 seconds of things to do. Annoying!

Full review coming in 1-2 weeks. It's a very long game for a downloadable. I'd say I have put in 5-10 hrs and I'm somewhere in chapter 3 outta 10.

I download it 2 days ago and I'm on day 70-80 something :P.

I just don't like that it has that part where there's nothing for you to do but wait, not that this doesn't happen on Harvest Moon, SimCity, Tycoon Games, etc., but it's still kinda boring for a while when for an X amount of days all you're capable of doing (because you reached the limit of buildings, adventurers, item lvls,etc) is wave adventurers off and talk to people.

Some bosses have frustrating spells that can own even your big adventurers sometimes. you'd figure a guy with a big enough sword could own. But that sort of thing looks like it depends on group makeup more than levels sometimes. I've definitely sent my guys crashing against the wall more than a few times.

Still ends up being loads of fun when your dudes start winning again :)

Nah, I got bored after defending one of my territories 4 times in a row and I haven't played it again.
