Thanks for playing, and I appreciate the extensive feedback. To clarify, there aren't a lot of attacks in the game that allow you to spin for damage reduction which is by design, but we might have gone a little overboard with it. All attacks are on a rotation though, so you're intended to memorize when attacks are used. Spider canon is every 3 turns and oilmancer fireball is every 4 turns iirc. Sorry the story didn't really stick for you, but the end cutscene was meant to be the reward for completion. Thanks again for playing.
