I liked that killing a party member is not only possible, but in a way encouraged for the unique dialog.

Developer

yeah. i kinda imagine players forming their own stories by doing certain immoral decisions which lead to characters becoming different people entirely and changing the story. i kinda implemented the dialog tree system in an improper manner though, i'll have to rework it to be much better. i also put 2 characters together so that a new player could accidently kill one of their party members.

This is a really fun tactics game, and the art is really good! I wasn't able to save everybody, but I did manage to get through it with two characters. The enemy health was a bit hard to read when units cluster together.

Developer

Nice, it seems that most people can get 2 characters alive in this situation. that being said it is possible to get all 3 characters to survive using a lot of different tactics. i get that enemy health problem. i might update the game after the jam ends to show a better UI.

I enjoyed the turn-based combat mechanics in the game. It's impressive that such a complex feature was implemented in a game jam. However, I found it slightly challenging to comprehend the enemy health and attack order. I managed to survive with just one character.

Developer

Yeah i get that its difficult to understand what the enemies are doing since they enemies make their decision as fast as the AI finds a satisfiable condition, i was trying to implement a coroutine to make the AI wait a few seconds before the next turn by that caused big lag spikes in the browser so i ended up not submitting

Cool, the mechanics are very elaborate!

The game's retro aesthetics are incredibly well-executed, invoking a delightful nostalgia that strongly reminds me of a classic title, Breath of Fire

Like combat and and glad to see that the turn based game is on jam. Very hard for complete, old school difficulty

I liked the turn based combat.  That is a lot to have gotten into a game jam.  The enemy health and the attack sequencing was a little hard to understand.  I was able to survive with one, but that was it.
