If you line up the X, your attack WILL hit. I guess you mean if the enemy can counter attack or not? In that case yeah I indeed need to make it a bit more intuitive. Though I wanted to make it similar to chess where you have to create all the possible moves within your mind.
Perhaps an encyclopedia showing the range of each enemy would be best. Thank you for playing!
I had quite a few times where I lined up the X and the enemy just ignored my attack, probably just a bug then. And I was also mostly referring to enemies that can attack more than one tile ahead, since showing the range there would be very helpful for strategizing and planning around them. Can't wait to see what you do with this concept regardless, it's very fun
