Alright! This was a super fun entry! Although I must admit, I had a hard time adjusting to the combat in the beginning, and well, I chose Marsha which was the highest difficulty, so I guess that's why I struggled a lot early on. xD :D
But I enjoyed the input-based combat, as it made battles more engaging and challenging! It felt satisfactory when I beat the first boss that I had to do a couple of runs on. The voice acting was superb! They fit well with the characters and tone of the game. Mapping and atmosphere were also on point! The usage of RTP assets was nicely done here, and it didn't feel like running thru a generic RTP game cause of how well the environment was done!
And omggg! I gush so much with the battle animations! From the char/enemy sprites, up to the action sequences and how they were delivered! I just loved it! The "Many!" spell was so satisfying to watch once you successfully hit the button inputs! I also enjoyed that skeleton walk sound when they attack, that was a neat little detail. xD
Story also has a nice little twist, so it was very fun to follow. Overall, this was an amazing experience, and congratulations to the developer for completing a very fun, polished, and great entry for this jam! <3 :D
With that said, I'll probably go back and try out Therese and Lucius! ;) <3
