it has potential,
its a little hard to aim. it feels like the everything is super slow. the rounds are a little short.
if the charecter could have double move and hit speed it would feel much better.

Thanks for playing, can you explain further, how do you mean super slow exactly? The way I see it is you want to start slow and weak and the more resources you gather th faster you move and attack and the more skills and workers and soldiers you can get. So you feel the difference between noob and pro, no?
Base move speed feels very slow. It either needs to be boosted, or a move speed upgrade needs to be made available earlier. The first couple upgrades feel veery slow. After we get cleave damage, it starts getting more fun. Animations are satisfactory. Having no cleave /AOE with guts’ massive dragon slayer just feels wrong lol. Maybe give him a smaller sword in the begining?
It’s pretty fun and has a lot of potential. I’ll be following!
ok, theres racing games and bullet hell's where you need sharp reflexes. this feels like any action you take, running to a tree, swinging a sword, takes 2-3 times longer then it should. no reflexes are needed, when you swing. you wait, you hit, then you wait again to be able to move.
then you have the progression. you have just enough time to chop 2 trees, then if you save up you have just enough time to chop 3 trees. it takes about half an hour to get to the fun section where you're battling enemies.
the slowness makes the enemies less stressful and less exciting. you know where you attack, you know they cant sneak up and hit you. you also know you cant race to the other side of the cauldron in time if you dont pay attention.
if we could get to the fun bit faster and have the charecter more responsive to the controls the game would be better.
and also being specific. it kinda sucks that the firebolt cant take down a single tree when you buy it.
Edit:
now that i've played a little more, it looks like its lagging. the wood dosent go into the fire smoothly and the speed changes slightly as you play. try playing online. that seems to be the disconnect between you and us.
Thx for the feedback we'll look into all of those what we can move around and edit to make the character faster and have combat much sooner. We just don't want the default character to be already powerful and fast, we want you to build him out into the OP guy through the skill tree if that makes sense
and one more thing, ive maxed out the tree (with the exception of two) its hard to damage the final boss. the horde of minions is inpenatrable. and even 1v1 i dont make much progress.
and the battleground feels cluttered which goes against the tense battle youre going for when im constantly getting stuck.
haha, thanks, we appreciate all the feedback, the stuff we changed:
- faster default move speed
- -cheaper movement speed upgrades
