Gameplay is interesting enough, but some of the random item/price combinations in the shop get really bizarre. I got a spammable magic item early on with 70-ish damage for *1 gold*, which was able to instakill bosses and enemies in a radius. I also noticed that the shop sometimes offers what is essentially starter gear for prices in the 6-7 digit range.

really fun and not too many problems other than in the shops
you either get cheap items that one-shot bosses or weak items with prices so big you can even read them due to scaling

Shop is unbalanced and some of the abilities do not seem to work. Other than that the game is fun.

For me the main problem was that the "fog" was very close so you can see very far and for that the combat was not polished enough. Also that when you need to go downwards the camera doesnt rotate so you see even less.

I liked the overall style of the game but it needs some balancing as the other people suggested befor me.

This was a fun game but it was very hard to beat the boss. He had a lot of health and I feel like some of the weapons didn't work, like the lightning or the shield. Other than that, I loved the 2.5d art-style!

It is not very clear how actions on E works. Overall - very fun.

I really like your art-direction - the 2D Sprites in the 3D environment is something thats working so well. And the combat is feeling pretty fun.

But I have to agree with other commentators, that the RNG is sometimes a bit crazy - I also got a spell for 1 Gold that instakilled hordes of enemies and bosses while fully healing myself each time i cast it. I'm not sure if that was intended.

Great game, the music is really great, it's a great idea to have changed the music when fighting a boss.
The game is great fun, I liked the graphics, I really had a great time playing this game.

I think we should have uploaded a Unity WebGL version for the game to be played no longer.



Super jeu, la musique est vraiment excellente, c'est une très bonne idée d'avoir changé les musiques lorsque l'on combat un boss.
Le jeu est très amusant, j'ai bien aimé les graphismes, j'ai vraiment passé un excellent moment en jouant à ce jeu.

Je pense qu'il aurait fallu mettre en ligne une version Unity WebGL pour que le jeu soit plus joué.

I like the style, but I wish I could rotate the camera. Also some spells dont seem to work
