Interesting environment! I don't know if I instantly found out the best strategy but attack + lunge attack right after would kill most enemies easily. I used shift + lunge attack to move as fast as I could and it was cool to turbo across the environment after fighting some enemies.
I think I was almost reaching the end of the game (after lots of stairs and a bridge) but I unfortunately got too excited and sprinted and lunge attacked right on a NPC, which sent me flying back at a ludicrous speed to the lower part of the game.
Overall I think it was a very fun game. Combat could have more feedback, like maybe a visual effect upon hitting enemies, or a knockback, but other than that, I enjoyed traveling through the scenery, fighting and talking to NPCs.
Great job!
