Player Comments on My Little Pony: The Crystal Beacon

I'm not sure if this was a bug, but I was able to learn and do a magic spell as an Earth pony, the one that lets you access Cloudsdale. I don't know, but I think there should be a third option; or perhaps I missed a detail where there was a unicorn that did that magic for me?

Will leave a more detailed comment later (if I feel like it) but wow that was good! Who would have guessed that MLP would lend itself so well to good/immersive world building! There's a lot I can say about this to explain why this is one of the most engaging games I played on here but...yeah...I'm sure you can deduce that yourself well enough since you made the game! lol :P

I love this!

Surprisingly good for what it was. A few grammar and spelling mistakes.

Scripting is broken in many ways. At the very beginning, you can keep putting points into stats that are 10, and your point pool will get depleted, but you will not get any benefits from it. There were also a few choices I was able to select, despite not meeting stat requirements. You bet your ass I picked them.

I had almost 400 xp by the end. What this means is that I did most, if not all, of the quests in this game. This means I read most of the story.

And I did not want to blow my brains out too much. I was mostly able to forget I'm playing my little pony fanfiction and pretended I'm just a regular magic human or whatever. That's about everything nice I can say about this game. It's just very much not my thing.

I, like a majority of stallions my age, never actually watched my little pony. I caught pieces of it on tv when my siblings would watch it but that's it. I did enjoy reading this.

There were a lot of spelling mistakes. To your credit though, I was mostly watching to see if you would mess up on the pony words like everypony and nopony. Bravo on that.

True enlightenment

Good

I loved this game! I wish there were more MLP content of this caliber in this site! Although, the game locks me out when I do encounter Pinkie Pie.

It didn't tell me that by accebting pinkie's subquest I was agreeing to do her plan instead of any other possible one. In fact, I couldn't even go back to twilight after that.

Very detailed and involved, well done!!!

The author can write a reasonably interesting sentence. That's the good part. They also have a firm grasp on pony lore such as it is.

However, the game itself was so annoying to play. First you have to assign tons of attribute points one by one. So already, before I do anything else, I have clicked thirty or so times and looked at thirty identical pages.

The game itself is impressive in the sense that it obviously took work to plan out. But the game is not fun to play; it is a series of little attribute related quests in a series of hubs that you visit one after the other to raise your numbers enough until you can click the end game link.

It is not fun to play. It is not fun to play. I put my head down on the desk a few times and took a deep breath because I needed 200 xp to click that link and I didn't know whether I had to go back to Rainbow Dash or what. GAHHHHHH.

I am not in to My Little Poney at all, but this is still a pretty good story game. I only played one race, one stat distribution, and one trait, but I still had a great time playing it. I liked how your race / stats / trait interacted, I liked all the places, and although I found this surprising, I liked the story. I also liked all the quests, and I thought they were pretty unique. I also liked how you really had to think about everything you were being told in order to get the most xp and stat increases, and what was the best way to move forward. The only problem I found with it were there were a couple of bugs such as options being displayed even after you had already done something if you came back to that place, and no way to ask apple jack about what she thought about the plan when you went back to Poney Vill. Overall, keep writing story games.
