Took a while to figure out the mechanics (and get the optimal items), but it was a fun game.
Though, I did notice that the game can become quite difficult if you don't find enough attack boosting swords (3 attack for 3 hp is a very good deal if you have the health for it) or you find yourself unable to afford the hp increase and stamina increase items in the shop.
A defense build with other low stats can be stuck doing scratch damage to the final boss and dying in a few turns, while a high attack build can easily win the fight quickly.
