I promised I would play and rate, so here I am.
First of all, I could instantly tell it was a medieval game just from the way the words were displayed, kind of like they were written on parchment. I found that quite immersive (even on your presentation page)!
Something I do need to point out, though: the dialogue at the beginning isn't very easy to read, and it goes wayyy too fast. It would be great if you could update that and give players a little more time to read everything.
Secondly, I really enjoyed the music! The slightly unexpected mix of medieval music with kinda bouncy beats was actually really fun. It kept me really engaged throughout the game.
I had a bit of trouble figuring out how the game ties into the theme of the jam, but I really enjoyed discovering and playing your game nonetheless. I'm honestly usually not a big fan of combat games like this, but I really enjoyed the concept of the cards and having to think strategically about what to do and which tactics to use. I also realllyyyyy enjoyed the concept of the interactive map, that's definitely something I'd keep!
However, I also sometimes felt like I was clicking a bit randomly when choosing my cards, without fully understanding what my actions would do. Maybe I missed something, but if I clicked on one of the soldiers in my army, they would get killed, so it sometimes felt like I was making choices a bit blindly, even after going through the explanations at the beginning. I'd love to have a short explanation or controls/instructions section that summarizes what you're supposed to do and, most importantly, what will happen when you perform each action. I think that would make the gameplay much easier to understand! For example, it could also explain which specific type of soldier is more effective against which enemy type, etc.
Overall, though, I really enjoyed discovering your game, and I actually found it quite addictive, I can't wait to go back to it! The medieval atmosphere, the bouncy medieval/kinda hip-hop/rap music, and especially the interactive map made it a fun experience! Special shoutout to the “Merde!” and the surprised face every time, it genuinely made me laugh lmao 😭
