mystapler Says:

Oct 2, 2008 - There's no cheating here. The thief can throw unlimited rocks, and the elf can use unlimited arrows. The only limit with those is a slight delay after you shoot too many at once. Even with the unlimited rocks/arrows, it doesn't make the game too easy. It's really just a little bonus for that character.

Oct 29, 2008 - To me, what makes it so great is that it's a lot more than "beat-em-up", but includes items, money, secret areas, alternate routes, and magic spells. It's adventure as well as action, at least to a degree. Grappling and slam moves would probably be out of place for a game that has swords and axes instead of fists as the main weapons.

Nov 5, 2008 - True it does sort of replace the grabble moves and slam moves with weapons, but i guess when i think of beat em ups two things immediatly come to my mind. slamming people and a desperation move when your being surrounded. I mean theres no doubt this game is the beat beat em up capcom ever made and thats saying alot.
