Having tried it out, this is pretty fun. I've always wanted a roguelike/roguelite Resident Evil game, and this scratches the itch. I've already wishlisted on Steam and I'll be looking forward to the full release!
FEEDBACK/SUGGESTIONS/QUESTIONS:
- I'd strongly recommend that the various Box items get rebalanced some. Basically every box I tried that wasn't an Idiot Box blew up on me. Seems to be weighted a bit heavier towards 'trapped' than not, to the point it's worth either not picking up the Boxes at all, or just sell them to the Trader and call it a day.
- In a similar vein, maybe provide a spell that identifies serums in your inventory? I get the rationale behind them having random effects, but as they're seemingly randomized each run it would be helpful to have a method to cut out some of the RNG. That's especially considering you'll probably only find one or two serums of a given type in a run.
- Can you specify what the effects are when you level up Whirlwind? Does it increase the range that your attack hits when you cast? I thought that was the case, but it's a bit hard to confirm.
- Is it intentional that you can't buy ammunition from the Trader? Or is that something that'll be revisited later in development? I approve of him always stocking a Rescue Crystal for you, though, that was a good choice.
