Hey, was playing the demo and really love it, but was just wondering when i lift my shield to block why do i still take damage? or is it just certain enemies i can block?

Developer

Not all shields has 100% block rate against all types of damage (you can see this if you check their status screen) so you usually still take some chip damage. Of course you can change this behavior in a game made with the engine, either by changing the code that handles blocking or just give shields 100% absorption for all elements when creating your item database.

Oh perfect thanks for the clarification, gonna go ahead and purchase the engine!
