Idea was nice, but there was lots of bugs, I slept and lost a team member and he still was on the list. I couldn't discard team members and couldn't buy more when the list was full.\n\nIt seems that features were unfinished, and I had to quit when the team got stuck and wouldn't move after trying to stop a dialogue with own team member. Still it was interesting gathering team members and juggling who went first and who kited the enemies while team got to shoot them.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":961121,"author_name":"LDJam user 242787","author_uid":"242787","epoch":1683166813,"text":"We fixed a lot of the game breaking bugs, check out the changelog on itch.io!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":961189,"author_name":"DeboTheaux","author_uid":"debotheaux","epoch":1683167542,"text":"How do people have time to make a masterpiece like this in 3 days?

I liked how it looked, I have no clue how on earth you managed to put this together in time for the jam, but good job. The atmosphere of the game was solid, and it played as expected. It made me want to replay it, so I ended up finishing it twice. I wasn't able to get to the end without any character deaths though, my healers kept killing themselves on the trolls. (Guess I got trolled)\nAlso, the cryomancer is sort of useless when you don't control him.\n\nI do think you could expand upon this, either convert it into a full roguelike with procedurally generated levels, or add more levels and flesh it out a bit more. I personally would prefer the latter.\nThe AI isn't bad, but it definitely needs more improvements. It was also a bit annoying to manually organize the party, since if you got close-range allies in the late-game he would stay in the back until you reorganized your team order with the \"You should lead\" dialogue option. \nThis is a really fun game too though.\n\nI hope you had fun in the jam, would love to see your entries in the next one!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":968522,"author_name":"ardorugus","author_uid":"ardorugus","epoch":1683311952,"text":"Feels like a real RPG of sorts.
