Some people expressed interest in this...
well I finally reviewed it. Check if you're interested.
It's the nicest looking beat 'em up I've ever seen. But not the nicest playing.

A bit offtopic but... Is that Her Knights you talk about even better than D&D: Shadows Over Mystaria?
Oh, good review, btw.

It can't be as bad as Robo Army... Maybe it's that kind of game where you can only stick to some patterns... If the game is so tough, it will be vital to move the screen in order to deal with only some enemies (ala Sengoku 3).. If you can't do that...

oh shit...
I wasn't thinking of the D&D games. well ok. as full games, I guess they're better, and much more complex.
The combo system in Her Knights is much better though, and the branching paths are almost as good. It's a bit hard to compare though, as Her Knights is a 16 meg handheld game and the D&D ones are arcade/saturn...
but yeah, you're probably right. Shit, now I have to go change that!!!!
and re: moving enemies around - if it were just tough enemies I could handle it. But it's the tough enemies while I'm being batted around by traps that gets me.

Traps make the game soo much harder than it needs to be. For the way enemies can constantly hit you and suck out a life bar with relatively little effort (usually five at once) you really either need a block or evade function OR make those enemies less cheap ass since 50% theres a couple of traps nearby they cheap ass you get knocked down... only to land on another trap and lose 3/4 of your life bar at least.. and yet after all of the bs fuckin ridiculous numbers of the same ol' recoloured, some tough enemies you fight....... the final boss SUCKS. Seriously... sucks.... hes virtually the same as you first fought him only with a new move which is so pointless and avoidable it leaves questions as to why did they even bother with this fight? Is it equivalent to the ff7 final battle with sephiroth where you omnislash him to death? About the music and sounds... it sounds extremely good for gba game... but... i hope its the reason why theres only like 4 songs in the whole game. The same music over and over... gah...

exactly. I agree with all of the above.
but I thought that the last boss wasn't as bad as the second-to-last - usually I couldn't hit him, just his damn ravens during his vulnerable time...

Look at the screenshots. Those enemies weren't in the game...how odd!

Well, to say the very least, it looks a hell of a lot cooler than the crappy 3D Gekido game on PS...

The game wouldnt be so bad if not for those damn red zombie... dagger flinging things... those things ALONE ruin the game which would actually be fun. Not only they do a ton of damage... but virtually everything they do out prioritizes anything you can do and if youre at the edge of the screen or stuck between 2 or 3 of them, youll get knocked down over and over and over again and it forces you to use your "obligatory clear-out attack" Its funny cuz I think the programmers knew about this little thing and I swear the a.i. moved the enemy into the position when you got knocked down to force that situation on you. It would have been cool to be able to roll away when you hit the ground or something but no.. just call lighting bolts to save your ass or die period. About those enemies... i think i saw them in game... or theve been changed quite a bit from whats in game.. i havent played the game in like 3 months or so i cant be exactly sure.

it's not the red zombies that are annoying, it's the dogs.
the dogs are: a) invulnerable to everything, including your super
b) love to run at you while you're comboing someone
about the traps... look at it this way, I think it's an incredible step up; i mean, these are traps that can COMBO YOU! :D

hehe - I didn't think of it that way.
The dogs I eventually got used to - just have to keep avoiding them.
But yeah - unnecessarily hard. And the priority thing is fucked up >_<

In some places it looks like the traps are playing a wholesome game of catch with your limp, lifeless, body.
