Key:
+ = I liked it
- = I didn't like it
--
+ High-quality choice of art
+ Cool idea with creating parties for each battle
- Execution of that idea is kinda meh: lots of trial and error
The battle concept would be better if there were more hints about how to prepare for them ahead of time. Having to go through the battle with the Scanner, die, then try for real (and possibly die again because there was a twist you didn't anticipate or you still didn't bring the exactly right team) is pretty annoying. It's otherwise a cool idea worthy of further refinement. Creative entry, Filthy Peasants!
