This is fantastic, the art is of course extremely charming. I'm not sure what the 'meta' is, but just stacking armour seemed to work pretty well until I accidently sold my full plate the vendor. That alone made this feel completely old school - 'Oh, you want to sell your best piece of gear you're currently wearing? Sure!' Haha.
Jesting aside, I had a blast. I share the sentiments of the others that the bindings we're super intuitive, but aside from one whoopsie, I managed to find my way around.
Thanks very much, great game.
