The atmosphere is really key here. The feel of the world is very strong, and it comes from the graphics, the mysterious music, and the neat introduction screen. The combat could be a little more interesting, but the fact that you added classes goes a long way.
Actually one of the things I was most impressed with was the scrolling text when you choose your class; I don't think I saw any other game submitted that had that feature. My game had a ton of dialogue and I had to cut a lot because I didn't have time for it.
