I'm glad to see you have chosen to continue with this game. I played the demo and I really liked it. The mapping and puzzles and being trapped in this weird-like prison world were all interesting.

Hey thanks, that means a lot :)

Gotta be honest though, my life has changed a lot since starting the development so the total time I need to complete it may be pretty long still, you know, work and all lol. I do intend to finish it eventually, just can't give an ETA because of all that.

Hope I will be able to work more on it in the future, it should be manageable since it won't be a huge game overall.

Pretty much every boss (except the General and he was so easy it didn't matter) had minions that had nasty attacks and had to be dealt with before you could actually damage the real boss. Hence Stun/Mass Stun being so great here. Stun and Mass Stun also inflicted the Distract status, so even if the bosses were immune to stunning, they still got 1000+ Backstab crits per round. Double it by 2 if the princess is a Rogue. The Rogues also had that Multiattack skill that melted random encounters.

The Mage is also pretty boring, most of its spells were basically the same, exccept with a minor effect thrown on top. And no idea why that level 2 skill even exists. The Worst designed class is probably the Warlock, whose playstyle doesn't work due to weak (and maybe bugged?) skills and wouldn't fit into the game with that boss debuff even if it was. But Warlock is actually very capable of surviving Boss Encounters due to a very large amount of HPO, so I still put them above Mage. But seriously, an AoE skill that does little damage to the enemy, but nearly wipes your whole party is worse than useless and I think that was one of the Warlock's high level skills. Even Mage doesn't have a skill as terrible as that.

Yeah, once you find the dream team, there's actually little reason to switch. I agree about the story reasons behind keeping the main character in the party, but along with the gameplay encounraging you to switch characters and making over half the classes actually very situational, it seriously detracts from the gameplay. That plugin you speak of could've worked well here, though not sure if it was around when the game was released. Class change could work wonders for this game.

I agree about the Main Character's scenes with the Rogue. Along with the Paladin, they were the best parts of the whole story. It's just that the main character seemed too passive. Her scenes with the Paladin and Rogue felt like they would lead to some character development, but the rushed ending kinda prevented any satisfying payoff.

Oh, I do agree that the developer was definitely on the right track and made a lot of good things here. Hence my high rating.

No problem :)

Yes, I actually forgot that Backstab did criticals but remember it did huge damage and helped KO stuff super fast (but forgot that was because of Stun). I agree with everything you are saying, I don't remember anything about the Mage, I must've used it a bit but can't remember anything. Did the Warlock class have HP Drain? Yes, I think Warlock class was meant to feel it had sacrifice skills. That particular useless skill would've worked a lot better if it was HP Cost on Warlock alone VS everything, and less damage to the Warlock than the enemy. With more damage the lower the Warlock HP was as well.

I think my end team was Rouge, Rouge, Paladin, Warrior or Ranger. I remember I choice to take Bard out. I liked her action turn buff and other buffs but something made me take her out of the party. Think that was a mistake reading this and I remember she did have a super helpful skill that increase action turn. That was funny on a Rouge that hits twice.

Yes I thought it was a really fun game even though some stuff was OP, but overall I'd describe my ending and overall whole experience as slightly above average, and I think now it might be that passive main character issue you mention that made me think that and lower my overall experience a little.

I see what you mean about the main character now, she was passive a lot I think she did have some action and "took the lead" sometimes but it felt passive because any other character would do more action than her in most scenes, so at the end almost each character had there turn to take over the action (and that would rotate between those characters and be 2-3 of them in a single scene sometimes) and it was way more than her overall. She sort of followed around during the first half of the game as well.

But I still enjoyed her relationship with the Rouge and those scenes a lot, and I agree the Paladin ones I thought were good too.

Bard was indeed super op! 2 actions per turn of the whole party lasting 5 turns made so much more possible. Not to mention that "everyone also guards this turn" ability. Even better w+hen you got that special dagger for her from the bonus dungeon. It raised Agility so much that she always went first. Made her a great support. :) I don't remember if Warlock had a HPO drain spell now, but the skills it was using didn't really do much more damage no matter the Warlock's HP. And their AoE skill didn't belong in a game where enemies have much higher HP and defenses than your party.
