Oh boy.

Alright, first of all, I have to congratulate you (as well as anyone else who might have aided in creating the trailer) on designing and executing an incredible promotion for your arc. I'm sure there are many AE designers (including myself) who would LOVE to have the time and resources to make a promotional video like this. It certainly helped convince me to give your arc a try.

Unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed with the arc itself. Now, I didn't officially rate your arc (as it's obvious you've put a lot of effort into creating and promoting this, and I didn't want to ruin that with a low score), so I'll just go over what I thought worked and didn't work in your arc. Of course, it's your arc and it's ultimately up to you whether or not you decide to change anything, so feel free to take or leave my advice as you see fit

The most glaring flaw I found (which recurred throughout the entire arc) were numerous spelling/grammatical errors in the mission briefings and dialog. I didn't keep track of all of them, but the biggest offender seemed to be the rampant use of apostrophes where they weren't needed. Now, there might be a story-related reason for this I'm missing (and I only say that because it occurs so frequently it might be intentional), but if there isn't then it's a large enough problem to detract from the overall experience of the arc. Apostrophes are usually used to denote possession (though that's far from their only use), but you tend to use them even when pluaralizing words. For example, (and I'm pretty sure I'm paraphrasing here), when you say "demon's in the street's", it should be "demons in the streets".

The other problem I found with the arc were the lack of details which normally help "flesh out" arcs. The contact for the arc has no description; the main custom enemy group (while designed quite nicely in my opinion) all have the same copy/pasted description; some of the recolored standard enemies have their default descriptions, which makes them seem out of place amongst the other "legions of Hell"; you seem to have left some of the objective text boxes in the mission creator blank, leaving ambiguous objectives in the objective window of the missions ("Igneous" instead of "Defeat Igneous", "4 Demon Eggs" instead of "Find/Destroy 4 Demon Eggs"); and there wasn't a single clue throughout the entire arc. Finally, after I had finished the arc, there wasn't even a souvenir to remember it by! All of this may seem small, but from my experience this all adds up to give an arc a "polished" feel which really makes an impression on players who run it.

That being said, I really liked the design of all of the custom and recolored enemies, even if I didn't find the story all that gripping. I particularly liked the design of "God's Gift", the contact for the arc, and was a bit disappointed that there weren't other "angelic"-designed custom characters in the arc.

If I had rated this arc, it probably would have only gotten 3 stars. If you're only planning on playing this arc with friends / people you've met in-game, I'd say it's fine to leave it as it is. However, if you're planning on having many people in the AE community play through and rate this arc, there are many reviewers in this section of the forum who can probably help you out a lot more than I can. Then again, like I said before, it's ultimately up to you what you do with your arc; whatever you decide, I wish you good luck!
