The colors of the village houses etc. could have a little more contrast to the background, it is sometimes hard to make them out.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, as a fellow L&Ouml;VEr, this was easily changed, but you should try to stay away from Z and Y as control keys, a lot of european keyboards move them around."},{"author_name":"MicroMacro","author_uid":"52238","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 9:51pm","epoch":1440539160,"text":"This game is very well made.

HAd some gameplay issues- often boundaries are hard to discern in the grass, so I got stuck + died. Strafing shooters need more open arenas to be effective.

The graphics and animations are just stunning, and the level of polish is superb.
