Description:
Probably the most ambitious, well-designed RPG to come from a Western mapmaker Oh_Man, and a map anyone with an interest in UMS maps should play. If you like RPG maps, you need to play this map.
It has one of the most fleshed out combinations of systems - crafting, leveling up, equipment, resource gathering, as well as a main quest line, 2 side quests with little puzzles here and there, and interesting boss fights. You occasionally get the chance to choose an option across the party, and there are quick actions that can change the storyline, so there is some replayability in the map as well. You also get to retry when losing against a boss, so you won't lose hours of progress just for failing a boss because you didn't know the mechanics the first time you played it.
You should probably read the companion guide, it explains some of the boss skills that wasn't clear to us when we played it and will save you some headache. Probably also a good idea to actually do the quests instead of getting to max strength, a lot of the rewards were wasted and we missed some of the tutorial that came out of doing the quests until after we maxed out our stats.
I couldn't tell how much damage the other character's abilities did, but I did like that I could find a use for all the abilities for the archer at some point in the game even though you can only slot 4 at a time. I personally enjoy summoner type builds so being able to have 3 summons along with 2 mercenaries was very nice. If you really wanted to, you can have 3 summons and then swap out the spells for other spells, although since they do time out after 2 minutes it may not be worth the trouble of swapping spells in and out constantly.
To maximize damage, you may want to use blight shot, which summons infested and Arcane shot, which does scarab damage to enemies. Spike trap does lurker attack but bosses have high armor so it doesn't work so well versus bosses, and seeker shot instant kills mob enemies but doesn't damage bosses. Wolf is great for having a sustainable summon to tank bosses. I don't recommend the ultra during boss fights because it eats up a lot of gas. The guardian is okay since he has high base damage to get around the armor and doesn't die easily, but you may want to swap him out for another spell instead.
Gambling might seem OP if you max charisma and serendipity (maximizes gambling luck, halves gamble cost, and increases alchemize gold) but to be honest you make just as much if not more just killing enemy units except you also get EXP, and it's more fun than spam clicking the gamble button. You do get some rare resource but if you equip the resource gathering item (pickaxe, bow, or the shard item) you can gather resources pretty quickly as well.
One issue is that the boss fights and spam click interact events seem to be based on regular speed, so playing on #x1 (16.6% faster game speed) or #x2 (44.8% faster game speed) is handicapping yourself, which is unfortunate because outside the boss fights the map is quite long so you'd want to increase the game speed to make farming/leveling progress faster. If you're playing with people you are friends with, you may want to consider saving and playing on #x2 for most of the game and then reloading to normal speed when doing a boss fight.
Another annoying thing was during boss fights that summon enemies, if they summon a bandit (firebat), the bandit may cast taunt which makes you get stuck and then you'll die to an instant kill move from the boss. There might have been some equipment that helps mitigate this, but to be honest this is just annoying to deal with and feels more like you just got bad RNG than anything else.
No timestamp since we kind of did quests out of order, but Oh_Man has a walkthrough you can download if you really need it.
