I loved the animated portraits, I think it adds a lot compared to "standard" VNs. The turn-based combat was also interesting: something I haven't come across in RenPy games. The combat required a bunch more clicks that I would like though, and there wasn't too much for me to do other than click through many rounds of combat. Once I got the ability to boost morale for 2 mana, I used it whenever I could, and didn't see any reason not to? Maybe if there were 2 skills for 2 and 3 mana, I'd have a choice between doing the 2 mana skill or the 3 mana skill.
The combat animations felt a little jerky, maybe more frames there would be great.
I wandered around the labyrinth and fought the warden twice and lost both times :(
Overall, the art is fantastic, and I love that there were audio bits for characters and such.
