The art is proficient. The character design is striking and charming. The soundtrack is simply amazing. The world is fleshed out, and, even in its overtly silly premise, is tangible and believable, thanks to the strong writing.
I was skeptical of the simplistic combat system, but it won me over quickly. It's like Snake; it's about initiative and careful positioning. Once I could take down a skeleton in a couple of hits, I was hooked. It's a great way to make the combat a natural extension of the grid-based movement.
Also, the menu-based save & load feature is much appreciated!
Xyndrahe is a testament to the value of simplicity. Congratulations! Great work!
