More changes: - Tactical Shuffle and Vanish now interrupt across lanes if there's no enemy in the forward lane. - Injury to Insult now shoots the last enemy that was attacked by your party, for extra damage if the last attack was made by an ally rather than the ARcher herself. - Scrollbar added to pre-fight popup enemy list. - If an enemy is at 30% health or under, Mercy range, their health meter will now pulse as an indicator. - Saved games now remember what screen you were last on in the dungeon. - Boon dialog can be closed early by tapping the screen. - Banish now consistently cancels any active attacks on the target enemy. - Mirror Shield nerfs: Reflects 120% damage base instead of 150%. Blocks half the damage of an enemy attack instead of all of it. - Clarified that Mirror Shield also counts as a block. - Changed description of Firestorm to clarify that it requires the Mage to attack after the third turn. - Description of Kick and Bash changed to clarify that it works on Lightweight enemies. - Enemy descriptions changed to clarify which ones are "Lightweight". - Fixed Priest using wrong class title sometimes. - Fixed an exploit with force quitting the game with Mending Boon. - Mage's Arcing Blast now correctly does double damage if it's Shiny. - Fixed a bug with using the Phoenix Feather with 2 dead party members. - Various other fixes, adjustments, and changes based on player feedback. Let us know what else you'd like to see, and thanks for the patience. This game involved a lot of new ground for us, and we'd like to improve on our work in the turn-based RPG genre in the future.

Cool, Half-Baked & Buggy

Rocketcat is the best, and this is a really fun, great game. But for a roguelike, it is a little half-baked, no way to upgrade your characters over time. But worse is how buggy this game is. Crashing. Issues with delayed moves not initiating. Enemies attacks skipping a turn so your counter/blocks don’t land. Spell counters don’t follow any rules. Pretty frustrating. I’d be happy if the bugs and rules were cleaned up.

Glitchy after the fourth level

Kept hanging up at the same point in the fourth dungeon. Started over twice with same results

So much potential

And yet so much wasted on cards that don't act the way they're supposed to. That, combined with graphics that glitch sometimes make what could be a great game frustrating enough to rage quit often.

New and Refreshing

4 stars because of lack of updates. It’s a great game that just isn’t finished but the devs seem like they are done with it. It’s fun and unique. I really wish they’d add new character classes. I also wish they would lower gold cost for items at the beginning of the game. Also I ran into a visual glitch bug with a potion heal. Also enemies seem to be a tad off sometimes. They won’t attack when the indicator says it will. Anyway I want more and I hope to see an updated version.

Great, but broken.

I love the game! Unfortunately, there are some game-breaking bugs. They're mostly related to the game crashing during a battle (or sometimes, completely glitching out during battle making it nearly unplayable). After restarting, you've lost all your items and health, etc., with nothing to show for it. This ruins all of your strategy planning for the level and has more than once been the direct and instant cause of my defeat.

I would love to return with an updated rating for the game if the battle bug is resolved, because I enjoy playing it up until the inevitable break down.
