I think this is my favorite game from this jam! Hooked from the beginning right until the end! Hunters were the optimal strategy though and I didn't even bother with mages which is a shame but I still had a blast playing this! The three different compositions of the game theme were sooo good!!

A seriously amazing entry to the jam. So much polish. Gameplay systems. Narrative. It has it all Pierre did an amazing job! No negative feedback.
Very polished game, and a lot of content! I think I found a bug though, you can spam click fast on enemies and perform multiple attacks in one turn. Is that intended?
Super polished game. I had really fun playing it. Nothing more to say then, great job! Well done! :)
Really interesting idea! Great game! Surprising that this was made in 48 hours! Good job
So much to do in this game! Really cool! The nature of the game and the fact that it's playable with mouse input only would make it a really cool game for mobile devices. Maybe that's a direction you might want to explore? Also quite interesting that both our games look quite similar (besides the colors). So that's another point on the plus side for me :D But I'll have to say I like the animations of your menus and stuff better. That looks great! Music is also pretty cool. Two things that could be improved imho:
- Probably personal preference but I really don't like long story scenes right at the start of the game. That makes me want to skip it since I want to have some gameplay before I decide to invest myself into a story. Might be okay for other people though
- The sound for selecting stuff could be a bit more lower in tone. I think it's a bit too high pitched and therefore gets a bit annoying over time.
As you can see I was struggling to find something that you could have done better or different. Really solid and polished entry. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback ! I saw your game while submitting mine, and yeah we got the same 3D/2D idea (btw your game is really fun !). Yes I was feeling like my exposition scene was a bit long, so I let the user skip through it if he wants to. And I'm feeling the same about the UI "bip" sound, I'll change it / add some more variety once i make my post rating release. And I'm already thinking about proting this on Android ;)
Thanks for stopping by and playing my game !
I had to quit playing because I need to rate more games. I did not want to quit playing. You win. The whole thing, you won it. This is genuinely fun and polished and good.
In all seriousness I struggle to give you useful feedback. You clearly know what you're doing and all my complaints are probably just consequences of a lack of time. Having hotkeys for the four battle options would have made the repetitious combat flow even more smoothly. It was not clear why I could sometimes recruit more people - whether I had somehow lost someone or the town naturally grew or what.
I'm bookmarking your Itch profile so I can enjoy some of your other work when I have time. Thank you for making this and congratulations.
My favorite game so far. So well polished its embarrasing (for me). I spend about 30 minutes beating it and was not bored for a second. Love how you made different versions of the same track for different scenarios. Very well done!
Okay, it's embarrassing how good this game is, I can't believe it's a jam game. I have nothing else to add, other than bravo. I love this game.
Wow, what an incredible game! I beat it on turn 26! Spammed 5 mages with a few health upgrades and it seemed to work really well. The game as a whole is so polished and well done, I would be here all day if I was naming all the little details that went into making this game so good. The gameplay was fun, the graphics filters were cool, the shifting music was awesome. Definitely gonna watch that devlog cause I want to be able to make games like this one day.
Ooh I love this game, I really like that you combined the town building mechanic with going on adventures and upgrading your Soldiers. Definitely a really interesting concept and extremely well polished and well made for 48 hours. Will definitely be added to my best Games of this Jam lists as well :D.
