Other than the eerie lack of sound, I like what you've got so far! I'm personally hoping to see more positions/animations for knocked down guards, but I'm sure whatever you've got in mind will do wonders!
I love everything about the new update... EXCEPT how agonizingly tedious and slow the text is when interacting with the 'mons. If it were changed back to the way it was before, I'd absolutely give this a 5/5 star rating.
