BROOO, i'm super auto pets levels addicted to this (i played that game for like 7 hours on multiple days to the point that my sister was like "oh my god not this again"). it's so fun. haven't won yet, but i'll get there. also the music is banging
Just beat the game in 1 run. Downloaded the game at school (Have it on home computer) played it one run through. Beat the game. I had a bo staff that had 0 cool down and did 7 damage. add the flip, and the boss fight was easssy.
i beat the game but took about 5 days so good playtime but the game is kinda dependent on luck if you don't get good upgrades and weapons on a run then you're not gonna be able to beat the shogun so if the creator made it less luck based then I think it will be better good game 9/10 one of the best games on itch.io
this game is really good i had a lot of fun playing but this is kinda difficult i have had this game for 3 days and i only got to hour of the snake reading these reveiws it looks like it's just a skill issue also whats the point of using other heros when you can use the wonderer like the wonder has 10 health while the others have 5 health
beat the game quite fun keep making good games 9/10
It lets you turn around as part of a series of actions, meaning you could attack, turn, then attack again as opposed to just attacking and then wasting an action turning. Basically, it gives you more versatility and wastes less time.
Sometimes enemies with dash manage to pass through traps.. In the instance below, the enemy dashed through the trap in the picture and ended up on a space where another enemy had just been caught in a different trap after I swapped spaces with them.
Wow, I love these mechanics so much. The design is so elegant, the way movement interacts with both turns and cooldowns is so slick. The "swap" mechanic is the cherry on the top, it really brings a ton of strategy into the mix. I also love the warning before enemies attack, it reminds me a little of 'Into the Breach' with how cold and calculating / fair it feels. I'm really excited for the full release!
Also absolutely love the soundtrack and art style. Really awesome work!
I've been playing this since the first public build and its amazing to see this super well done game come this far. I can't believe this is the alpha can't to play the full game. One more thing as a game dev myself how do you come up with ideas for games it's one of the hardest parts of making a game in my opinion.
Super super polished and well made. Nothing feels clunky. The UI is super cool and intuitive. The gameplay is fun and the progression feels pretty good. One criticism I do have is that the regular fight music is a bit repetitive. The first boss fight theme was really cool tho
1) You might want to put the keys as clickable controls on screen - theres room 2) Maybe reset health when proceeding to next fight 3) Maybe allow continuing from save fight after defeat
This is a lot of fun. Currently attempting to beat the zero-hit-challenge with the help of a zero cooldown bo build. I do have a few little gripes though:
- Full screen on the web version (macbook, OSX, Chrome) ends up being horizontally larger than the screen. This cuts off the coins and stats, which forces you to exit full screen mode every time you enter a shop if you want to know how much you have to spend.
- You can move left and right using the arrow keys on OSX, but up and down don't work for wait and turn.
- Segmenting the bosses's health bars would be helpful to work out if a final attack will take them down. The different health pools of the bosses make it hard to grok visually how much damage your attack will actually do.
- I'm playing on a laptop with a trackpad — please give me the option to disable the mouse controls. It's really irritating when a trackpad movement gets interpreted as a mouse-wheel action!
Very promising! Visuals are awesome (especially graphic design. some enemies are uninteresting) - balance is bad. For me (on normal) it was almost flawless up to the final fights where the death felt random and unfair. First levels were such a slug that I wouldn't restart. Ideally, first levels should contain a potential for all skill levels to shine! The minimalistic design leaves a little room for different strats, with such an open upgrade system it would be very hard to allow variety of builds to be equally effective.
- More of a personal one: I feel like 6 abilities in one hero for an hour of play became stale. You just repeat one attack pattern, then upgrade 3 essential attacks forever. I think its enemies. They need much more variety. Maybe force to switch abilities from time to time. (like durability, but something less irritating) And present more focused challenges in each zone, so that you need to tweak the build in anticipation. (Easy grunts shouldn't be at the latter part and so on..). Throughout the whole run I was thinking of hero party with 2-3 abilities for each one, but it's a pretty different game, sorry.
-A more subtle point: waves and recharge times as it is make waiting at the last enemy for a few turns an optimal play. It isn't fun. Defeating everyone in one turn is much more fun! Maybe endorse it? (I didn't understood combos. Make a DEMON FORM at 3rd combo or smth.)
Amazing well crafted game that makes a lot of fun! This feels already way more polished than an alpha version. This is going to be a top notch game on full release for sure :) Got me hooked for 2 hours on the first run.
Double strike spear with 3 damage awwww yeahhh. This is a great game, incredibly satisfying when you get things right, you feel like a ninja murdering your foes artistically.
good game, i found i problem when i use bo stick(turns the enmy ) with freeze upgrade ,enemy freeze but don't turn , tbh no a big deal but i hop you fix it, btw when an enemy is about to attack then i freeze him i expect when he unfreeze he attacks but the attack resets

The music is very beautiful.
What an amazing game, honestly if this is the alpha... I can't imagine what the final release will be. Keep it up
I love it, wishlisted for sure. Any plans for a mobile release?
Thanks :) No concrete plans yet...
pls dont make a horrible mobile app out of this masterpiece
Really nice game with high difficulty
Just beat the game in 1 run. Downloaded the game at school (Have it on home computer) played it one run through. Beat the game. I had a bo staff that had 0 cool down and did 7 damage. add the flip, and the boss fight was easssy.
FYI:Never beat the game before
Hahaha, you're kidding?! If not: Chapeau!
i beat the game but took about 5 days so good playtime but the game is kinda dependent on luck if you don't get good upgrades and weapons on a run then you're not gonna be able to beat the shogun so if the creator made it less luck based then I think it will be better good game 9/10 one of the best games on itch.io
Seems interesting! Keep up the work!

I really liked the game, looking forward to the steam release!
this game is really good i had a lot of fun playing but this is kinda difficult i have had this game for 3 days and i only got to hour of the snake reading these reveiws it looks like it's just a skill issue also whats the point of using other heros when you can use the wonderer like the wonder has 10 health while the others have 5 health
beat the game quite fun keep making good games 9/10
spoiler for the last move in the armory
what's the point of the turn around move? you can just press the w key, right?
It lets you turn around as part of a series of actions, meaning you could attack, turn, then attack again as opposed to just attacking and then wasting an action turning. Basically, it gives you more versatility and wastes less time.
example, arrow, turn around, arrow
holy shit big ups the game has gotten ALOT better and it was great before. Good job, just a really good game.
Sometimes enemies with dash manage to pass through traps.. In the instance below, the enemy dashed through the trap in the picture and ended up on a space where another enemy had just been caught in a different trap after I swapped spaces with them.
I'll buy it as soon as it's released on Steam, best alternative of Slay the Spire, 10/10
very good

Works - good original ideas

Thank you for the amazing game, I couldn’t stop playing until I have cleared the map! Looking forward to new updates
Thank you, I had a lot of fun!
This game is amazing. It's so polished and the mechanics are super clear and work really well! Love it
I beat the game with all characters within 10：01.（hard）
Ranged weapon with 6 damage and double strike is just too crazy.
