Finally got around to trying this!
I enjoyed playing the game, and the type of gameplay here has me trying "one last time" each time I die, so that's a good sign; You've got the player engaged enough that they want to keep trying even when they fail! I like the variety of weapons and how combat can get a bit frenetic. The art style and aesthetic are interesting. I like that I can level up my character and pursue an upgrade path of sorts.
Now, combat feels a bit janky, and it's a bit frustrating to be hit, stun-locked, and fail trying to escape the group of enemies ganging up on you from both directions. It also seems like leveling up could happen more often, or maybe at the end of each level, that might help with the power curve so later game levels aren't as difficult or frustrating to play through. I got to game level 9 and basically couldn't get past it as the enemies were too many, too strong, and I couldn't deal enough damage.
Leveling up certain weapon types can work against you in the long run because you aren't assured what weapons you get in later levels. So you'll level up axes, and maybe get them just a few levels, so you level up swords or daggers, but find yourself with a spear and bow. Ok, so let's level up those, but I find then I have another different weapon, so I have to raise the bar on these other weapons. Because leveling is so sparse, it's hard to get enough power in your weapons to do enough or at least fair damage to enemies, who seem to get stronger and rush you in greater numbers as the game moves on.
I found that the Resurrect button doesn't work as the game still just goes to restart. It's also hard to hit P, as it's too far away from the other buttons the player has to press most often. I wish there was something like a timer as well, there's barely enough time to hit Resurrect before the Restart menu comes up.
All in all, I enjoyed the game despite the frustrating parts and wanted to keep playing. I probably put in about 30 minutes! I also got some sort of Age of Empires vibe to the game, do with that what you will. I think it was the sketchy, narrative sections and clicking the buttons to proceed to the next page - which by the way, the click to proceed button could be made a bit more apparent.
Great job on this game and can't wait to see what else you do with it!
