Player Comments on Braak the Briton (Redux Edition)

First off, I loved the humour in this storygame. The description for the Detox Potion was hilarious ("This will be handy when attending a Frat Party.") and I love puns so naturally "If you want to look at the vases, you got to urn that privilege." actually made me chuckle out loud a little.

I enjoyed the unexpected endings. Lighting an entire town on fire and killing the princess in the process earns you the title of Prince; this was something that caught me off guard and was a pleasant change from the majority of storygames here (where the unexpected consequences are always negative). The way you portrayed the city made me feel like I was there. I also loved how there were multiple ways to achieve your end goal.

There's not much wrong with this - it's humorous, detailed, fun to play, but it's missing the emotional depth of some other stories on this site. The characters are not developed and it's more of a light-hearted read than a serious story. I wouldn't rate this one of the best storygames on the site but it was certainly entertaining.

Nice

Yoooo this is bad

This storygame was pretty good. I got the drinking party ending and it was great. Would recommend this story!

Could be far worse, setting is unique enough to leave memories.

arbitrary death.

I went to a pub, was ignored by some farmers, took a couple of wrong turns... and got stabbed to death.

Not a single NPC interaction before I was shanked.

Also, how common is Braak as a given name, in Roman Britain?

This story is actually pretty good! I really liked the humor, and the branching was good too with multiple ways to win. However, I didn't feel much for the character, and I felt like the backstory was a little rushed.

It was funny. Good light-hearted entertainment

It's actually quite fun to play, and the quick way to end the game is to find where General's wine is hidden, tell him the location, and you get away with the Princess without even killing anyone. cool! :)

LOL, all the whores were bitchy ones. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I CHOSE A SWEET ONE... I cry.

Very nice story with good humour.just wish it was a bit longer

Enjoyed.

Definitely one of the best games I have played in a long time.

It was alright. You swtiched point of view too often though within paragraphs. Without that the writing would have been better. Other than that is was a fairly interesting ten minute ride

Now that's better...

7/8 Very entertaining! And the humor fits perfectly with the world, which is also fully fleshed out.

relatively fast-paced. This is a story I´ll go through more than once

It was okay....short with a good plot and grammar but nothing special.

Cool.

Fun and full of humour! :)

Really funny and enjoyable! More please!

Nice one!

Very cool story, with an interesting concept and pretty well written too! I especially like the humor you inserted into various scenes, and the way you brought Roman Britannia to life. This deserves a good solid 6 in my opinion!

Great game.

I rarely rate games 8 but this game is way awesome and I can't wait for the next game.

6/8

Okay, felt a bit random at times. I did like the flavor texts though.

I remember loving this story when I was younger but it definitely isn't quite as I remember. For one thing, the writing isn't of a particularly high quality. It's not poor but it's definitely nothing to note. Additionally, lots of it felt contrived and sometimes the author contradicts himself. The tavern is meant to be Roman-free (this information is given) but yet, every second option there gets you killed by Roman soldiers. The advanced editor features were not used to their maximum capability and they were often more present than they needed to be; a little ingenuity could have hidden them from sight while still maintaining their function. That being said, Braak isn't bad, it's just not special.

Seth says between YES and MEH! I can't decide if it was ok or great!

I love this game! Can't wait for more!

What to say?
I'm thinking....wait,
little more...
Oh, shit I forgot!

kind of confusing but good writing. 5/8

yum, bagels.

okay

this is one of the best i have seen on here. nice and long the items were used threw out and had a good story line. keep up the good work. took me awhile to reach the ending which was still cool.

it was ok. i hated the ending though if i was a prince i would feast not leave!

I liked it, but it was far too confusing for my tastes. 4/8

I think it could have been better but it was a solid 6.

I was entertained, few mistakes were made as far as grammar and mechanics go.

Bo approves, great sense of humor too

Very very nice. I'm sure I had something to say against it, but now that I'm through with this game, I can't think of what it was, if anything, so I suppose that's a good thing. I'll be looking out for your next Brakk adventure, if it really is true about its forthcoming.

FUN!

That was pretty short...

very good lengh

Pros:
Historical details
Well organized plotline
Different ways to achieve objective
Humor
Puzzle-solving

Cons:
Not proofread thoroughly
Some situations didn't make sense- like not being able to use Wine Information while interrogated in the dungeon and the game telling me this item cannot be used here when I tried to use the Wine Information while talking to Cicero about the Negotiation plan

Very nice, I wish I could figure out what to do with the wine, My first idea was to attempt to drop the poison lol, still got a good ending, atleast I think so.

I haven't read this in a while. It's surreal to experience it as a reader after so long.

Redstorm has utilised his array of writing skills to really bring Roman Britannia to life. Its great to see a fairly historically correct version of Post-Roman invasion portrayed so well. There were a few historical inconsistencies but nothing truly glaring. I wasn't completely in tune with your writing style but I commend you for working well with a difficult setting. 6/8

not bad

Great scott!
What a game!

Very good. Change the diologue to be right

Great writing! If it had had fewer spelling mistakes I would have given it an 8! Excellent!

It was better than I thought.

A very worthy story! I was a bit confused, though, over whether it was supposed to be in second-person or third.

That was really cool, I loved it.

I looove it!

Fun and well thought out. I like how if you make a bad decision it just doesn't say,"you suck too bad." and how there are very differnet ways to get to a good ending.

wow- well written, clearly a lot of effort went into this game!

It was a lot of fun :)

Obviously an amazing amount of effort was put into this. Well done.

Great game! Involved and full of intrigue. Good use of items. I would have liked it to be a little longer, but I was satisfied by the end. Excellent job.

Wonderful game. I died though. I'll beat it at a later time. Dang prostitutes. lol

EXELENT. i realy enjoyed that.

good enough

I enjoyed it.

I LOVE THIS GAME! I can't believe it was rated 5! It should be 6 or 7! This game have a lot of options and very good descriptive words with an excellent storyline! I love this GAME! I give you 8/8, just wait for it to update.

good game.

cool

Pretty good.

meh.........Okay game.

Great game! in prison, good reference to the Princess Bride!

The idea is a good one-a tale set in Roman Britain-but there are just enough spelling and grammatical errors, as well as some illogical moments, to cause the player to shake his/her head.

I WIN! and now that you can't just say o yeah.. i have the potion... yup.... its really good!

it was ok

This is now rated...

Nicely done! Well written, good stuff. Now I normally don't feature games, but this one is a real winner, so congrats, you're Featured!

Spark 8/8
Excitement 8/8
Creativity 6/8
Advanced Editor Use 7/8
Length 8/8

BEAUTIFULL GAME its as good as Vengeance its amazing....

I Got to rot in prison Hooray!!!

I think I finally got it where I want it. Please email me if you find problems.

great game still. mistress kitty is the only thing good in the slums.

excellent game... except for the fact that its soooooooooooooo easy to cheat.... you can say you have things you don't, things that make getting past guards and stuff easier... use objects next time to counter this, and have them actually use the objects so if they don't have them, they can't go through the story saying they do. :)

This game is GREAT! the problem is that the items in it should be real items: it needs to be an advanced game. But the story line is fantastic, the game is very well made, there are tons of options. I would definately feature it if it 1) was an advanced game with the objects, 2) had even 2 pictures in it to make it more appealing. Great suggestion to play.

I WIN! good game

Great game! I had fun.

Braak, is that any relation to the Space Ghost Braak? Does this Braak not have a nose either? And I noticed all the girls in this one seem to be redheads. Good call!

What? no parades, champaign, or girls? i die before i even get to see the princess? bummer. +A game. its got my vote for best game. bring on a second one so that i can die... i mean play again.
