Ikode 2: The Supreme Dragon, The long awaited (by few) sequel to Ikode: TWOI Options

[LostSamurai]

Note: This game is a sequel. It is recommended you play Ikode: The World of Infinity First. That game can be found here.

Introduction:
"The Planet of Ikode... This world was created when four of the five deities joined forces and destroyed the devil. This world was created with the intention that it would be a peaceful planet, and that it would not contain evil. However, evil found its way into the world, and its power was unmatched. Unmatched... except for one person. One person stood up to this evil, and gave his life to overcome it... ...but the evil wasn't completely rid from the world... and now our champion is dead..."

Storyline:
After the creation of Ikode, Areniss contacted Atrius, Hamemy, Tireon, and Matthias about a problem... an error in Ikode which happened without her knowledge. This error was a combination of all the powers of the deities, which never disappeared like they were supposed to. It was given the name the Supreme Dragon, because it sat atop the Supreme Tower which watched all of Ikode. One night, Atrius snuck away from his home in Melwor, and went to the Supreme Tower by himself and destroyed the Supreme Dragon. But in doing so, Atrius died. Fifteen years later, a new threat appears in Ikode, and Atrius's legacy falls on his only child, Alex.

Characters:
Alex: Age 14: Atrius and Hamemy's son and the main character. Alex becomes the target of a dark force much to his dismay. Luckily, he has inherited parents' strength and magic.
Elene: Age 14: Matthias's daughter and Alex's best friend. Like Matthias, Elene possesses powerful offensive magic.
Atrius: Age 32: (deceased) The slayer of the Supreme Dragon. He is dead, but not forgotten.
Hamemy: Age 45: The former wind deity and Atrius's wife. She has long lost the will to fight after Atrius died.
Tireon: Age 55: The oldest and strongest of Atrius's companions. He was the owner of the light deity, now he lives alone in the mountains in Leron where he works out daily.
Matthias: Age 48: The former fire deity. He spends most of his time drinking tea at home or at Hamemy's house with his wife and Elene.
Lerold: Age 140: Hamemy's "adopted father," and therefore Alex's grandfather. He originally died at the age of 125 when the Sacred Water was no longer strong enough to sustain his life, he was brought back to life by Areniss so he could see the new world. It was intended he would live for an additional year or two, but the breath of life he was given lasted much longer than was expected.

Gameplay:
This game is much more traditional than Ikode: TWOI. The game takes place in an actual world, with towns, forests, and dungeons that are all connected. The soul worlds no longer exist. Battles, menus, etc. are similar to Ikode: TWOI.

The story sounds a little confusing, but I like it.

Seems like a solid effort at a game. One criticism I can make by looking at the screenshots is the facesets- although appropriate, being darkened out just makes them distracting, not enhancing of the game's visuals.

Maps look great, and it's always pleasurable to play a full game. Downloading.

*edit*
I've played the game a bit (an hour and a half), and I would give this game an 8/10. The dialogue does not come off as fantastic, the characters lack complex personality, there are a few gameplay glitches (like how when you use an item to "see" the enemy's HP, it totally heals them!), and the main character seems very lacking. He is the son of someone who was important, but is in no way important himself, and he is quite bland.
But that's the negative criticism. The maps are great, the battles are balanced, the database (items and skills and such) is custom, and the music choices are well-placed, though identifiable.

Good game, but not a perfect game.
8/10.
