Roguelike Elements
The campaign is procedurally generated (choices of different battles with different rewards at every step of the campaign). Losing in a battle is perma-death (as your current campaign will end, and you will lose the specific ammo load-out you gathered over the battles so far). The tactical element is slow/methodical (you have as much time as you need) and the control is over a single character.

This is a solid game. I liked the magic system and the tactical component. But for me this game is a bit slow. And i got into a softlock. In that case, the enemy mages stopped doing anything and became immortal.
Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely agree on it being slow and wish I could have spent another few days just working out the balancing (as well as polishing up the actual animations/etc so it doesn't feel as clunky).
I think I know what that softlock is, and it basically ties in to the other known bug I listed; one of the enemies ended up in an invalid position and it was failing in a way I didn't expect and throwing exceptions before it could do anything else. Unfortunately the only workaround would have been to restart the game anyway. I'll probably do a small post-release update in a couple days to remove the worst of these bugs if I can.
