Very interesting game! The visuals are absolutely stunning!
This game is straight up beautiful! Good job team
Awesome visuals and sound, but blurry armors make it look awful, you should set the filter off in every sprite and it would look perfect. Didn´t quite understand the gameplay but still managed to face the eternal samurai and he defeated me. Nice game.
Great presentation and concept although it took a while for me to understand what was going on.
Really great presentation. I'm not sure I fully understood the strategy.
This looks great and is fun to play. I don't know what else to say, good job!
I enjoyed everything about this game! The charming music, beautiful art and the original gameplay.
The only bad things I can say is that the art for the armor looked out of place and a bit blurry.
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream, here's the interview; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1539011947
Really cool concept allthough I didn't fully understand how each mechanic worked exactly. There seems to be a fair amount of decision making and strategy. I do think that because of the randomnes, the moments where you don't get to shoose between two options because both are the same come up too frequently. Maybe this could have been fixed by preventing the two element- and bodypart-dice to show the same result in one turn, so you allways have a choice to make. Going further, I think the option to hold a die for the next turn instead of having to use all of them could have added an interesting layer of strategy.
Really nice polished game. The graphics are amazing and kind of remind me of the old Mortal Kombat. Another thing that is reminescent of old games is that you have no instructions on how the "combos" work, so you need to figure it out by yourself! Really, I enjoyed it a lot!
Stellar presentation and theming. Unless I was missing something mechanically, there was generally a pretty straight forward highest expected value to slot the dice with each turn. I did have a round where I could ignore what I was doing with my block to maximize damage while the enemy was low, but most rounds, it boiled down to a bit of symbol matching. If there were ways to accumulate more dice, or other tradeoffs to consider each round, could squeeze out a lot more depth. Nevertheless the combat system seems very functional and nicely polished! Well done ⛩🔥
Love the art and the title, not 100% sure on the strategy for it but it seems super cool!
Nice art, concept and title.
LOL I thought the legs were a boar and the chest was a dog and was wondering if I was combining animal-style attacks with elements. Cool game, loved how you did the armor and the text.
Wow the art with the 2 samurai is amazing but i think the ui is a bit massive haha.
With the fighting, i just matched the element/armor they had on my defence and used something diff on offense if possible and seemed to have pretty decisively won against all the enemies i fought, but i ended up stopping in the middle of the game as i didnt know if it was just endless and the loop decision making seemed a bit too simple after awhile.
I really liked how you ended up taking their armor but idk if that had much of an effect on the stats or not.
i could def see something like this being more interesting with more rpg mechanics added in tho. great work of course!
Really enjoyed the style of this one. Concept is cool and acts like a dynamic version of rock paper scissors with dice. Enjoyed a lot and think you built a pretty good UI.
Fun game! I like the visuals ans the gamepley is very fun and interesting:)
I love the art and concept of Samurai fighting. It's super cool!
I love the art!!
Amazing visuals! The gameplay gets boring pretty pretty quickly though, but its a nice game! NJ
