I remember liking Sara, the battle robot done by fellow Youtuber hirokiti77nanakusado. However, when I first heard of Sara, she (or it) was a mere concept that walked in hordes across a desert. I later saw her implemented into hirokiti77nanakusado's pet project, Tales of the Moon, as a fighter. However, I did not know that Sara would now be part of her own game.

Being recently released to the public as a simple one stage demo (with the final production planning to be shareware), You can play with Sara as she takes orders from a leader that looks like a kinky version of Sara who is helping to train you. Being a "High Class" battle prototype, you can get "Saras" (a form of money) to buy various items and skills that will eventually let Sara get a kickass arsenal of attacks. I imagine that a lot of this stuff is tentative at this time, but I like a lot of what I see so far. Being able to backflip then dash forward with angel wings and rain powerful hellfire on foes is so awesome...as well as blowing the heads off of marionettes or slashing them to pieces with laser tonfas. The spritework and 3D models ( the 3D models aren't in this demo version though) are nice and large and Sara animates excellently in many instances. The backgrounds generally look like simple photorealistic stuff. Music is pretty cool, though currently limited in number.

At first, the game may seem really tough, but there are numerous ways to evade and close in on enemies. My main issue at this point and time is that the hitboxes seem pretty odd. Some enemies will stand at the edge of the screen and use melee attacks against nothing and you can fire dozens of bullets right at them and they might get hit once or twice. The hit detection is admittedly a bit wonky, but there is plenty of time to adjust it. As is, it's pretty responsive in regards to melee attacks, not so much with long range attacks. You also get partners and their A.I. is pretty random. They all managed to get themselves killed in this recording, so no bonus points for me, lol. Meanwhile, I took no damage whatsoever. I feel that I should mention that the game is being developed with Multimedia Fusion 2, a pretty cool engine for making independent games.
