I love old games :) I managed to make it to the end of the demo, fun quick combat that is mashable, was easy to learn and pick up, didn't take long to grind. The gameplay loop is fun, the graphics are nice. Some assets don't entirely match up but I really like the monster sprites. I think a different button for the menu would also be handy as I'd keep opening it after every fight due to it being the accept key. Otherwise, really fun game with all the difficulty spikes I would expect for a game this nature, but not frustratingly so. Well done and keep it up :)
