Massive thread of LF2 version reviews
#1
Hello everyone. I am Leviaiz (aka. Itari or rewlf2) who made one of the large-scaled LF2 versions: LF2 Story of HongBa.

As you who enjoy LF2 know, LF2 ver/mods are a collection of diverse creations which are developed from the LF2 game module.
(for DCers, the module means the game contents you made for your ver/mod)

I am here to present some ver/mod reviews for you all, to provide more understanding about them in the LF2 community.
Apart from popular games, I am open to accept requests for reviewing vers and mods.

Mind that I do not accept individual content to be reviewed.

How do I define individual content (Click to View)

Which ver/mod that I am to review first is generally within my discretion. Although I would try to cover most of the popular vers/mods if possible.

The grading system is as follows:

Mind you, by taking a glimpse on the commentary of two very popular creations: Original LF2 and R-LF2, you can get most of the terms I use to describe a ver/mod.

Important:

This first review on Fighter Hero is being reschinded and re-evaluated due to bias from myself. Please see first post.

I will put up a new review after I complete replaying FH.

WOW, impressive.
I think the problem with XLF-Omega is oil barrels, and spam skills is the key to win in stage mode.

Thanks for this post, you really did a great job here.
I'm saying this not because you gave my RN a high score

Full of memories.. It has been 13 years I think since I started to work on RN. I'm feeling grateful that there're still many players from all over the world playing this nearly 20-year-old game and still remember and even speak highly on my mod.

Now my job is about web development and database but I still remember the days I played with C++ and worked on my own 2D game engine from scratch DirectX, just as Marti did. I copied MANY idea, knowledge and concepts and terms I learned from LF2 data changing into my source code. I even implemented a script language which is still highly inspired by LF2 DC. Hehe.. It's really a full, full of lovely memories.

This game, LF2, played an important role in my life, say the least. I did have some talk with Marti on Facebook. He is really a decent, humble and hardworking guy. However we behold that how the market of video games changes. Old-school games are no longer being popular and would eventually go into people's memory. HFX is not a successful game, not because the game's quality. Those decent and smooth sprite sheets would no longer attract players nowadays and Marti did lost lots of money because of this (and game cracks). But I felt really, I meant, really glad, when I heard that Marti got a nice job again. Wish all the best.


Something about RN's plot
Really? You really want to talk about the "story" written by a 14-year-old boy? Are you serious? :D

Felix, you're the man. RN was probably the best done mod I've played, it felt finished and exciting throughout, with so many fresh ideas and coding tricks!

Marti has more than enough skills to keep him a stable life. I guess he would perform well in teams, like in his previous jobs.

The plot is quite good, if you compare it to plots of other LF2 mods at that time. There were not many mods with plot anyway.
I am just concerned about newer mods do not really improve in quality of plots (except a few of them)


(Irreverent) Will do more mod reviews later.

What I was just worrying was that what if he kept writing time consuming, and rewardless indie games. I never doubted Marti's ability that he can do very well in any leading IT giants. Hehe.

I believe most of DCers in that age is somewhat the same age as me :) I really wish to remake something like AI (using nowadays tech), so that I don't need to use Jack's ID for the bowman, Justin's ID for the swordman and Mark's ID for the spearman. That's the reason why Justin is absense in stage-5 hehe.. Even Felix is using Dennis's ID but it would not be a serious problem since there's no enemy fighters in stages. But as I say.. We are adults and the most important thing in life is making money for you and your family.. That's why I'm soooooooo glad to hear that Marti is doing good now.

Thanks for everything. Guys.

To make a game that features good fights is possible (on your own) but tedious.

To make a game that is known by many people would be:

i just wanted to say, just in case, but in lf2 newalpha, for the louis move, wou have to do it like this: d>j while holding <, then d<j. and btw, thos thread is awesome. but i definetly don't agree with the review of lf2hongba. while it was a good mod, especially for its creativity, it's sprites just aren't good, and more importantly, it is NOT balanced at all. but, still, nice thread
make sure to check my sprites!
I guarantee your eyes won't hurt! At least, they won't hurt too much :p !
