There's probably a cleaner/ better way you could make the stats or leveling work but that's just some nit picking, overall if this game had a more in-depth battle system it could go two ways: 1, it could be really good and fun to explore/ make different builds for playthroughs (though thats not the point of the game) or 2, it could make it get quite frustrating if they're tougher and require exp grinding just to continue, so for what it is, the combat is fine if not a little lack "lust"er
