I hope you enjoy the next Kemco game you tackle a bit more. If this keeps up for too long, the Kemco Khallenge could be the death of you!

Lol, if there's a bright spot, it's that I've gotten the impression that End of Aspiration is one of Kemco's lowest points (along with Sheterra the Skyworld). Most of their games can at least be described as competent, if unexceptional. Like I'm playing Covenant of Solitude now and while I can think of some areas that could be improved, the overall product is at least respectable and reasonably enjoyable to play.

This game, though, it doesn't hit on those points. Not even close.

Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle

In fact, Covenant of Solitude just went up a notch in my estimation last night when my party was wiped out by a random encounter. It got a preemptive attack, one of the monsters has a powerful spell and my party was at 50% health. That spell killed two of them, I tried to run, both characters failed and I died the next turn.

This is the fifth Kemco RPG I've played. This is the first time a regular encounter killed me. In fact, if memory serves, I've had a full-party death a grand total of one time throughout the 4+ I've played — against a post-game optional boss in Symphony of Eternity. When one of their games shows some teeth (ala: Symphony of Eternity), I'm pleased. For the game to actually bite me is actually impressive!
