Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

It only becomes slightly easier when you have walls on either side of you, and you usually don't have that in the demo, so it's use is only in scaling a high wall. And if it were a necessary skill, then the other characters would be pointless to play. Using kick climb properly allows you to reach high places without having to spend AP in weapon skills.

And no one ever said these two skills were separated. Kick climb is just a different form of the wall slide skill, which is much harder to use effectively. If you ever get wall slide in the game, it'll likely include the ability to jump off of the wall you're sliding on, making kick climb useless, and giving the other characters who don't start with such a skill the ability to reach those high places more easily, and scale a wall that two uppercut skills won't reach.

So no, he didn't 'change' anything, he just gave the thief a skill based version of the wall slide skill from the first game, which will very likely be found as a reward somewhere in the completed version of this game, making wall climbing easy again. Just like how the wings made multi jumping useless, wall slide will make kick climbing useless.

If you can't use the skill, then just don't use it. Nothing requires you to use this skill, except for grabbing goodies in the game early.

This is the thing that drove me insane in the first game... and it continues to drive me insane in this version. Every time I transition areas, I have to double tap movement keys! So annoying!!

I only noticed this happen to me a few times, Im using a gamepad though, idk if that helps the problem or if its my controller but it definately is not happening to me every time I go into a new area. Even if it doesnt solve the problem I'd recomend a cheap controller for pc, its really nice for platforming games.

On a side note, I know I am missing something, In the old one the monsters came back if you didnt do... something. I seem to have forgotten what that is and I cant remember it for the life of me... anyone know? Fighting endless hordes of the now undead is obnoxious.

Also, the witch is so OP lol, just spam magic for bosses, I hope he does more balancing between chars before the main game but at the same time I dont

I usually knock them off screen if I'm trying to do something. but like nothing can really stop you when your like lvl26 so it really didn't matter. is Realms chainsaw the spear+jump cause she just rolls though the beginning part with it.

Holy water damages undead and once you acquire the flame sword it will set undead enemies ablaze thus killing them.
I explored the entire map I couldn't get one Purple EXP Orb and the Gold Orb near the first of the level. There is one Red Door and the rest are Blue. The first boss is hardest I had to die about 5 times and level up my spear to kill him and because there was no 'Keep' option at the beginning of the game that was annoying.

I live NS0 it shows great promise however too much Gold is given and I upgraded all Weapons at Blacksmiths and bought all Orb power Ups an Weapons and Items and still had lots left.

I like the idea you can dual wield weapons and quickly build up EXP for that Weapon type. I like the EXP leveling system the Stats are self-explanatory.
Con, Int, Agi, Str, Dex. Everyone that has played RPG's or D&D knows that Constitution is Energy; Intelligence is to Strengthen Mana; Agility; Strength; Dexterity are self explained.

Similar soundtrack to the first game but it is Kick A$$ as it is completely new but holds the same theme as the first Night Sphere.
Character selection at the beginning is a plus and that Pollution Soul cloud is freaky when it shows up it gradually will cause Soul Pollution to drop.

So from what I see the Flame Sword acquired and it records the total time it took you to get there is the end of the demo for now.

It is old news but the game creator of Night Sphere just recently had a baby Girl and I am assuming the project will be on hold for a while because family is priority. I personally wish him the best and congratulations on receiving a daughter!

I hope this game has multiiple endings and a boss run or replay area similar to the prison in the first game.

We all need to be patient people and sometime soon Nightmare Sphere Hero should be fully released hopefully the English translation will be added as well.

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

I can use kick climb. Well, strangely, after I get double jump with Relm, I tends to use it like kick climb...... I hope kick climb can be more useful, because it is very easy to acquire double uppercut(even in the beginning). That platform in the opposite of the first grindstone, I think he intend to make it kick climb only in the beginning. However, everyone can reach there by a dash jump + a uppercut.

Fire jar, holy water and fire sword are the things that can be used to burn zombies.

You can acquire the first golden orb (Grindstone) only by upper-air-dash.

Too much gold? Don't worry, you won't have that much in finished version.

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

I've done some observations of the leveling system, and after reaching around level 20, I took out the default values I started with, and the bonus points you acquire upon each level up. It surprised me to see that the total average amount of points you get, which is randomly distributed among your stats, came out to be a perfect 8 points per level. Add the bonus points you get, and you should earn about 11 points to your stats per each level.

Though just like the first game, only leveling one stat in excess causes obvious results to show. However it is interesting to see that the system is more refined to balancing your stats out, instead of allowing you to pour all your points into strength or vitality, maxing it out from the get-go.

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

In NS Zero, stats not only affect:
(Str)Attack power;
(Dex)Invincible time/Parry timing;
(Con)HP/Blocking power;
(Int)Magic Atk/Def, Orb blocking power and
(Agi)Movement Speed/Defense/Invincible time
but Weapon level also.

If you want to use full power of any high level weapons, spam the corresponding stats.

STR - All physical weapons
DEX - Long sword(High), Knife/Spear(Normal)
CON - Heavy weapon(High), Spear(High)
INT - Cane(High)
AGI - Knife(High), Long Sword(Normal)

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

for som reason im unable to use my items or special. Im pretty sure i assigned them to the correct key or do i need som sort of requirement to use them?

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

Change your key settings. Some keys just don't work (C and I for instance).

 

[guilmonex]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

I think the key configuration is still incomplete, some the keys do not response. I changed my keys several times because of that, and this is my final settings:

Up: W
Down: S
Left: A
Right: D
Attack1: N
Jump: M
Attack2: ,
Dash: .
Item: E
Special: Q
Absorb: H
Pause: B

PS: J, K, L also don't work

 

[SoulBreaka]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

yup found out that jkl doesnt work before comin bac to read. and our key settings seems to be exactly the same somhow except for the dash, pause and item lol

 

[Leeho]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

May depend on what language settings your computer/keyboard have, cause I run the game with French regional settings on and I can use K and L...

 

[SoulBreaka]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

som1 here knows how to get double or wall jump rite? Is it a lvl requirement or an orb somwhere

 

[guilmonex]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

Ah, so that's the cause of it. I ran it with Chinese regional settings, may try Japanese next time.

 

[guilmonex]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

You can find double jump from the succubus boss, and wall jump is Shaska only.

dont think japanese settings will work as well cause im using it too. Succubus eh...just need to find her

 

[guilmonex]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

The Succubus boss is waiting for you in the top right corner of the map, if I remember it right.

Japanese settings don't work? That's strange.....

 

[Gryphose]

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

Odd...I can run the game w/o switching to jap region settings (or using Applocale like I usually do.)

Maybe my rig is just wierd.

Re: Nightmare Sphere 2 (NOT released yet)

Don't know if anyone else had this issue, but I couldn't click the download blue circle for the demo in Firefox. Opened it in Chrome, totes fine.

Just thought I'd share if you were having the same problem.
