Hello! I streamed the game, and found the start pretty promising: there is a cool artstyle (despite having art like portraits or chara outlines clashing a little against it) and an arcade-like progression that I found interesting.
I found some problems elsewhere though. First, especially in the first battles, there is not a lot the player can do except the basic attack (with special moves only when they're ready). It didn't weight a lot since the resource management factor helped a little. I later discovered though that the defense command is broken: 2-3 turns of reduction and healing. Also with the 500 gold given from the king I didn't had problems buying A LOT of rations.
I had to stop since the walker battle felt very impossible to beat, since I don't do much damage and he does a move that oneshots after a number of turns, without any sign on how to avoid it.
Maybe I was supposed to find a mage, but I checked the only explorable area and I found nothing.
