I quite enjoyed this, and def am looking forward to the full release down the line. A lot of times when I'm playing a turn based roguelike I'm enjoying it in the moment but kind of just sitting there thinking "I could be playing Slay the Spire." or "I could be playing balatro." Which I mean as long as it's not in the level of I really don't see a point to play this over them isn't a bad thing. Calling back to games I love when playing other games is usually a good thing to me. That being said I bring that up merely because I didn't have that thought while playing this. We had rows of enemies and turn based moves, but it felt like its own thing enough that I wasn't just sitting there thinking about the other games I've played before, but instead just enjoying what you had there. It was really great sitting there playing something that truly felt like its own thing where I had to stop and think and my muscle memory from playing way too many roguelikes didn't just take over. And in general I was vibing with that gameplay so good job there.

I know you were there during my stream, so I know you also know that it always means a lot to me to see non-binary representation. I'm an openly non-binary streamer, so I was happy to see that, and had a lot of fun voicing over the characters in general but especially the enby one as I could just be a bit more myself. Overall the characters were fun, the game was fun, and hands down I think you are doing a great job with this.


You also mentioned there was a roguelike mode, which I really need to find time to mess with now that I know the basics of combat, but this game was already the only game that I ended up going over time because I really wanted to see it through. If there is anything else you would like to know for feedback just let me know. Same with if there is another demo of this you want me to check out as I'm def really curious about how this one turns out.

We're so glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️ Tonic (artist/writer) here. Your comment about Emblems being "it's own thing" rather than reminding you of another popular roguelike is absolutely one of our favorite bits of feedback we've ever received... So, thank you so much! That really means a lot to us. It's harder to get existing fanbases to take chances on games that aren't already very similar to something else they love, so we realize it wasn't a good move on our part in terms of our first release. But we're a fan of things that aren't afraid to get weird. So we're really touched when folks like you start to find it fun/invest in it more as the gameplay elements are built upon over time!

Our goal as developers is: To create fun and heartfelt games, filled with the things we cherish. For us, one of those things is- gameplay that can be enjoyed by folks who want a less intense experience, but also has the depth for complicated strategy and rewarding challenges. Another is- games with queer main characters that also have solid gameplay. I'm especially grateful whenever I get to connect with fellow non-binary players, and I love Magic so much even though they're a brat lol. So I'm really happy voicing/experiencing them was able to bring you some joy!

We'll definitely keep you updated if we need any additional feedback/about the release! ⚔️🔮🪴 Thank you again 💚
