Cool game, FF Tactics was one of my favorite games as a kid which inspired me to try this haha. I think a tutorial / introduction would've been helpful for me. Wasn't able to recruit anyone stage 1 haha so got wrecked stage 2. If your team chooses to continue this project, I think it could be hugely improved with a zoom function, maybe leave the resolution restriction behind or do some mipmap style texture swapping of your characters/assets/tiles. Very enjoyable all around and it made a great atmosphere!
