Thank you for playing, The counters are planned not random. ( which is also not my cup of tea).
You are right the Scorpians are a tad on the harder side.. but that is the only unbalanced thing, of which I have since changed for the final build of the game. The Ui I feel could do with some clearance yes, currently looking into it.
The demo allows the player to seek all the mechanics in the game early on, and most will be seen in the dungeons.
The guild is optional.
Thank you for playing my Demo, I will take on your feed back. I'm excited that you liked the characters, there is alot more to come from them.
I hope you can exlpore the town more, at your own pace, It is designed so that you can keep coming back to visit with changes based on player progression. ( ever evovling).
Thank you Harlekin!
