To preface, I really hate being negative in Steam reviews, as evidenced by the fact that out of like 100+ I have maybe 2 or 3 that aren’t positive. But this game is rough. I don’t know. I was actually really excited to try it, and for about 10 minutes, I was having a reasonable amount of fun for what it was. And then three things happened in quick succession that just totally pushed me away. The first was the game telling you you can play with keyboard or mouse. You kinda can play with mouse, until you enter an inn or a shop, in which case you have to use the keyboard. Small annoyance, not a big deal. The second was that I got a spell called “Harm.” Sounds fine. Turns out it does literally 6x the damage my basic attacks were doing with a weapon I spent like 5 minutes farming up the gold to buy. That’s also fine, right? It probably costs like half your mana? It costs no mana. I have no idea if this is a bug, if this isn’t a bug but unintentional, or if it isn’t a bug and intentional. When this happened my mind kinda shifted and went “Oh, this is going to be one of those kinds of games…” But I tried not to be too perturbed by this overwhelmingly obvious oversight in balance of…

It was one of the games of all time. Kinda chill rpg with an ASCII aesthetic that I actually really like. Simples enough to be fun for its short duration.
