Ever look at a beaver and wonder what it does besides building cute dams up rivers? Well it's time to find out. Follow Bold, the beaver hero, through a multitude of battles in this fun RPG. Conquer other beavers, pirates, knights and eventually Bold's arch nemesis in this epic adventure.
The game certainly isn't simple for a flash game, but it isn't too complicated if you have the patience to learn the ins and outs of the game. The player may level up Bold's attributes as well as his equipment. When certain equipment is worn, it may add or take away from Bold's attributes. Strangely, the world's currency is pinecones. These pinecones may be used at Otto's shop between missions. Not a lot of pinecones fall, but luckily most of the items in the shop only cost a few hundred pinecones. The game's controls are easy to use. If the player wishes, he or she can upgrade the beaver to be quite agile, which the controls also assist with. The basic layout of the game is interesting enough to attract the player's attention, but the best part of the game is the story line. It is told through a series of comics between levels. Not only is it a fun way to get the back-story, but it is detailed enough to make the battles seem like more than just mindless fighting and serves as a good break to prevent battle fatigue. The music definitely adds to the battles and makes them seem more exciting and dangerous. Bold has an infinite amount of lives, so dying is not much of a problem. He even gets to keep the items, pinecones, and points if he dies in battle.
One of the few negative things about the game is that Bold cannot sell old equipment. If Bold dies enough, he will eventually earn enough money to buy new equipment. It's not impossible to earn money, it is just a little inconvenient. It is pretty obvious what most of the attributes do, but there are two that are a little vague and are not explained, vitality and luck. If the player puts points in them, there is no immediate effect. This is unusual for the game and prevents them being used by players which seems like a shame. If points are added to any other attributes, the effects can be seen immediately.
Hints and Tips:
When choosing equipment, make sure to consider which of Bold's attributes are weak.
When Bold is out numbered, try to separate the group of enemies by fleeing or using magic.
