I REALLY like the idea of the combat, makes me think more about my swings more than just hacking and slashing. I think some clearer feedback on when an enemy is staggered would help prepare the player for drawing the rune attacks.
i liked the idea of this its very creative but i was not able to kill one skeleton.. could be a skill issue on my part lol
Not sure if I'm missing something, but this filter doesn't seem to go away after the opening dialogue.
Edit: I fixed this, was an issue with my PC.
I really like this idea, the combat flows much more than I thought it would. That being said, it doesn't seem to be working.
