I died a lot. I thought the game was a joke game at first because it seemed like every enemy kills you quickly. It wasn't until I figured out how to use the defense spells that I could kill some enemies. Perhaps in the starting area, you can have a demo battle so you can get the feel of how to win before you enter the demon world. I also got lost in the maze early on, I think more texture variation would help that.
Overall I liked the atmosphere and humor in the game.
