Thank you for the kind words! I’m unsure as to the state of controller input (aside from like XInput/Xbox controllers probably working fine?). I should really fix the item descriptions but it’s such a low priority that I keep forgetting to do it.
The rebalanced battles are “rebalanced” in the sense that instead of it being completely braindead, it’s just engaging enough to keep your mind from drifting; I think that more than suffices in keeping the game’s battles interesting (since they were always an extreme low point with the original game).
