Thank you! CoTN was indeed one of the major inspirations for this game (I have logged more than 550 hours in that game :D)
Regarding the movement, that's definitely one of the things I would prioritize improving when/if I revise the game, I completely agree with that. The problem is that it takes a while for enemies to do their turn (even if they don't move) so when there are many enemies it can feel unresponsive.
Other than that, I'm glad you appreciated my game!
