I found it mostly to be fairly easy, but not that enjoyable. I might have been missing something but my main complaint is having a lot of options that were mostly not useful. Every time I used a scroll, for instance, it did less damage than my attacks, in some cases, no damage at all bc the enemy was strong against that element (but there was no way to tell that). You never get enough money to buy more than one or two healing potions after your first bout of spending, so most of the time, if it was a tough fight, it just came down to RNG and if you died it was just a sprint back to the battle to try again. I really liked the game itself so this aspect was kind of a bummer. But I think with a few tweaks it could be a lot of fun. Here's what I would do: 1) either give the player more HP to start and make enemies able to at least do a point of damage some times or make a mechanic where you can choose to do a heavier attack that leaves you open to counters or a lighter attacker that makes you more defensive; 2) have a way to scan enemies to tell what they're weak against, or just not have them be immune to certain elements; 3) give the player a bit more gold so they can buy the occasional potion; 4) have a method for the player to counter, especially on attacks that miss, and make misses happen way less - this way the fights don't feel like a war of attrition as much. Those are just my thoughts, but I'm sure if you thought about it, you'd find a million other ways to make the battles more engaging. As it is, there's just not enough strategy to them, and the strategy that does exist is hidden behind trial and error.

Yeah, I think if I took more time with it, I could probably make the combat balance a lot better, and I definitely need to put more loot in the early section.
