Woah! The amount of mechanics here is astounding, and they synergize really well! I love how every character had vital uses, making me really feel it when they run out of hp. The difficulty was perfect for me; I won on my first playthrough, but there were many close-calls and a great cycle of tension and release. The visual effects were cool, too! You didn't have to make the background 3D and rotate slightly, but it totally added to the experience. The music, sfx, character design, and dialogue all brought the experience to another level. The only thing was the descriptions for items could be a little more clear. This is one of the coolest games I've played in a while!
Thank you! I'm so glad you had such a good time! Merging the mechanics from some of my favorite games turned out great.
There are definitely things I would improve if I made the game again, like the descriptions and certain dialogue/finale stuff, but the experience seems like it's working! Thanks for the in-depth comment!
