Gosh, what a great game. Artstyle is amazing, upgrades are impactful, items feel important. With the new update the game is top-notch. Finished with all classes, some - multiple times for different builds and can't even pick a favorite, they were all different and cool. 

My absolute favorite part is exult,  it turns, let's face it, formulaic skill-taking into making almost all skill and class combos viable and exploratory. I did several grave robber runs just to see what was possible.

You can get pretty big numbers with exult and armor reduction:

Skinless are best for this, since they can dodge the one-shots to allow for more stacking. I also had 88k one time (knight + bulwark + exploit), but didn't screenshot it in time

My only gripe is with how long it takes to reload the game and the unskippable cutscene after first debt repayment. Makes rolling for desired skills a tedious endeavor. A reset button would go a long way towards allowing exult experiments, like stacking exult + exploit + withering strike + samurai for guaranteed crits. 

The first 2 battles could also be skipped, as they aren't interesting mechanically and failing the second battle is a death sentence anyway. Maybe this could unlock for each class individually, after first win with said class.

Other than that I spent very enjoyable few hours with your game, thank you very much

p.s.

Scariest thing in the game was a bug when no enemy came out and the game was stuck. Very creepy and killed my run :D

Thank you for playing and for the very thorough review!

I'm very glad you enjoyed the game, and blimey you finished with every class.

Exult is a spell I really wanted in there, it felt like such an emergent-build finder just like you said.

Don't worry about the screenshot, I believe you, I got the exact same numbers with Knight+Bulwark+Lifeblood+Exploit. I think the highest was 60k(?).

You're right about the first couple of fights being skippable, when the game starts, going straight to the first spell would probably be best.

Woah how did that bug happen! If you see it happen again would you mind opening dev tools lmao

I'm working on this game for a full release so I might see you there!
