LIANDERSON'S PROFILE

I agree, all the plots have been done for years now. The real determinate of quality is execution.

Murda.

Fancy.

If you´re gonna make a complicated turn based RPG that requires skill...

First, be upfront about it at the storepage or difficulty menu. Let the player know what exactly they're getting themselves into. This can be a picture, a sentence, or even a paragraph. Point is, you´ve clearly communicated that this won´t be easy.

Second, provide a plethora of balanced combat options with at least decent communication of what those options do. (especially on things that are not intuitive, like a fire spell that uses spirit instead of intelligence)

If you do those things, then your game´s difficulty will be a plus. Players will find what works, what doesn't, and will enjoy your game or even replay it multiple times.

It looks like a lot of time and energy went into this game, but it´s sad how the combat is :(
