Themes are not really present, and the fighting systems are too restrictive to be real-time fighting.

Also you can cancel your attack by using E (so it blocks) but you'll spend the mana as if you've hit the enemy.\r\n\r\nThere are some rooms weere you can gather resources, but remember that in order to go deep into the dungeon, you'll need to Grow the tree!! so don't expend all the resources in yourslef!\r\n\r\nThis game was made by:\r\n\r\n@TargaryenWizard: Programmer, and Game Designer.\r\n@Jesus_Perez14: 3D artist.\r\n@Beast_Shugo: 2D concept artist. \r\n\r\nIt's made in Unity 5.3; \r\n\r\nEnjoy!^_^\r\n\r\nP.S. if the menus are in your way, try 1920x1080 resolution!","title":"Root Dungeon"}
