What a great experience is to play a turn-based RPG in a gamejam!!!
The music, skills and art are great, loved how simple, yet engaging was the UI.
As constructive criticism I'd wish the game had a menu of some sort, no options and no start menu makes me feel like the game is not completed.
But aside of that, please keep developing this, I want to play the full game. :)

Great visuals and really cool idea! Fighting 2 undeads with 2 rangers where one is undead-sympathizer, another is hugely debaffed when healed by an allie...that was harsh :D

Well thought gameplay - different skills, different debaffs, simple fightning, but so fun! Great work :)

I'm definetely going to take inspiration from this game's visuals for my next game. It looks super appealing with very little, specifically the characters and how they're standing in this empty blue box with shadows under their feet. SEE, when I write it out it sounds so simple, and yet it looks awesome. I'll probably bookmark the page.

The game itself looks like it'd be fun, but it really isn't my genre.

Wow this game was very addicting! Kinda reminds me of a mix of darkest dungeon and slay the spire? Really awesome artstyle and the attacks are so satisfying! The difficulty does ramp up quite nicely and the audio is also pretty fitting. I feel like this game also has a lot of replayability value making it so easy to just come back and do better and better which is awesome! Great work!!!

A nice experience that was easy to learn, I really like the visuals and the music is super nice as well.

Such a fun game! Every aspect of this game is really well made, it's an enjoyable game with good charming art and audio design. Great work all around, gotta tip my hat!

Submitted

Really enjoyable darkest dungeon like. Nice art, sound, animation and putting them together.

Submitted

Really cool art, a solid and complete gameplay loop, and great music and sound design. The gameplay gave me a bit of a Darkest Dungeon vibe, which was pretty cool.

Id love to see this expanded with character progression — instead of starting with all four skills, you could level up, unlock them, and make choices along the way — plus more build variety and a couple of bosses. 

Are you planning to continue development after the jam?

The portrait art is amazing and has so much character :D. The gameplay is really chill but there lots of things to strategise. For me the game was hard / the enemies seemed though but it might be a skill issue on my part. Looking forward in case you continue this project!

Submitted

The art in the game is really good, there's so much too! The music is also nice, and the there's a lot of gameplay! Across my five runs I never did finish the game, it's a tad too difficult for me. I'll probably come back later though to try again! Also, the game reminds me of Slay the Spire, but more DnD-esque.

Had a lot of fun on this one, great job :D

Conrad Stonebridge is an absolute beast, he may be a showoff, but he deserves it! Took him at the start and he was the last man standing at the end. This game is amazing and I love it. If you plan to keep this updated, I will follow you around and post every update!

Submitted

I do request you give me Conrad every playthrough though

Really Fun Gameplay Loop 

Submitted

Super fun game. Lovely art style, really cute. The game is really well designed. The combinations of buffs, skills and Worker Experiences create really fun gameplay with lots of replay value. I tried to go back to find the artifacts but it doesn't show up anywhere. I would really love to see this expanded into a full game!

I had a fixation ranger in 1 game. All my foes died in the same round so I got stuck with my ranger not able to attack anyone within the rank.

I love the gameplay!

I love this game! This is my 7th game I've tried,  and so far it's my favorite! The negative effects could be a little more apparent, but I really like the combat, I think it would be a fun fleshed out game. 

Submitted

I LOVE THIS!!!! the effects were not punishing enough. reminded me of D&D, except everyone doesn't want their character.

Submitted

If I had more time I'd get good at this game. Very impressed with the amount of gameplay and content you've managed to make for a 1 week jam!
