Understandable about the combat system. We didn't quite finish it so it's missing a couple of elements. The idea was to have a set attack pattern for each creature type and then visually show some of the elements the enemy chooses each time. Harder enemies have more choices and higher health, etc. We didn't get to the showing of the enemy choices due to time. So yeah, in play right now there's no real way to "know" what choices you should make and it's just feels sort of random. Unfortunately just ran out of time on that front.
Appreciate you taking the time to play and comment!
