9/10 New characters, better stamina, new enemies , etc.ILke2021-07-18Version 2.5

Bottom Line: Overall, with the addition of new characters/enemies/upgraded stats despite some challenging elements, it's definitely worth a go.

Longer Review (May contain some spoilers): So personally, I'm totally okay with mages and mage spells being more effective, weapons having innate spells, and even the long-range attacks. However, I was slightly disappointed that most, if not all weapons later in-game for my characters always had a chance of breaking whereas it never happened for the enemy. Doesn't have to be an OP innate spell, but some would have been nice to have indefinitely (including some light healing ones), just like some of the enemies use. My biggest suggestion though, although it's not required to use in-game (to be fair), is to get rid of the mana restoration potion/item in shops because it doesn't teach you how to manage your MP, and you essentially get unlimited heals/attack spells, and so on. The only exception I'd make for that is the very last battle with all the bosses (then you can put it in the shops or the battle before that). On the bright side though, If I did use them in-game, it would have been much less difficult. Instead of mana items, perhaps you could, for example, give weapons later in-game that regenerated 3-5 mp instead of 2, that way you have enough stamina to fight these new enemies while not completely getting ur mp back. Just a suggestion.

Nevertheless, I am very thankful for you (and possibly others) for creating this game, and essentially allowing me to replay my childhood by adding a new story, characters, enemies, and so on while still managing to beat the game fairly well. Because of that, I would definitely recommend it to others.

And don't forget to take the time to train your characters and search for loot, everyone!

Thanks again for posting this game :).

Thanks for updating!BowieMaxPlayer282021-04-01Version 2.1

I played the older version and boy was it hard, but the difficulty is more balanced and fun. I recommend you play it.
