The difficulty feels really unfair, especially since I believe I'm fairly early into the game. I've been speaking to every NPC, bought every item in the shop at least once, found every item pick-up, but keep running into enemies who kill me in only one or two attacks. Despite being Level 22, I can barely get through any area past the Merchant City. The dodge command is there, but there's no use for it when enemies are so fast I'm unable to do anything else before it's time to use the dodge skill again. That aside, I love the art, characters, and the world-building of this game seems really unique, the maps are also very well-made from a visual perspective alone. On the topic of maps though, there are a lot of collision issues, so many I can't specifically point to one part that was particularly egregious; you might want to go over the tilesets again. When escaping from battles, enemies still have collision, so there's no point in escaping if you're against a tight space. They just have to kill you. I'd also suggest having a native English speaker read over the game's script, because a lot of it doesn't seem to make sense, regrettably. Also, I can't seem to be able to upgrade my weapons anywhere ever... This game is already pretty good for what it is but could be even better, so it's frustrating to have to feel over and over like it's cheating the player.
