The game is nicely done strategy RPG in game design. It is an interesting concept. The art and music was cool too.
Feedback:
There needs to be an in game tutorial that walks you through how to play along with the one in the title menu step by step. I was confused when entering the game until I figured out a few things like:
There needs to be a better transition between title screen, and from level to level.
There needs to be a different theme for the levels.
There needs to be better indicators for dealing damage whether visually or through SFX
There also needs to be some movement SFX
I don’t think the player should be able to see the enemy’s grid for moving character because visually it can be distracting and take up a lot of space on screen.
I really liked the stats system that was nice.
The leveling system and sfx were great.
I wish more could have been used with the stat system in terms of special attacks and other attacks.
I wish I could see what specific attack my characters and the enemy characters were doing.
I really liked the different format with the ways you could play the strategy game with its modes.
Nice job on the terrain element, it definitely added a layer to battle.
The weapon triangle was also nice.
Definitely keep up development on this, but well done so far!
Thanks for playing, I hope you enjoyed!
Thank you for the detailed feedback!
Awesome! Fire Emblem is a favorite of mine and you captured it here nicely. On the game page you mention its just a demo for your pygame engine, but are you planning on taking this project any further? Either way nice job!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! There's a high chance that I will make a longer game in this style in the future, I just need to figure out how to do save files for the downloadable version (or it will be too long for one sitting). The way I programmed it means creating new maps at this scale isn't too difficult (only a couple hours each to make).
I did have an idea to try and make a roguelike FE-like game with randomly generated maps, that could be a fun project to work on before I make a longer one, but for now I'm going to work on games of other genres entirely.
cool, I always like to see more games in this genre! I hope you do get around to making the longer game, but either way, best of luck on all your future projects! I'll keep an eye out
