Exceptional! Polished, highly customizable, and perfect for its niche. It's a text game with simple graphics, and that is precisely what some of us need and appreciate. After being diagnosed as autistic, I realized I was wrecking my mental health by doom scrolling to stim. This game has replaced that toxic habit, and I am so grateful. Also, this is how purchases and ads should be handled. Period! One optional ad every five minutes, and all content is accessible from the start. Superb work!

Strong concept from what I've played so far. I think the main issue would be the gameplay loop so adding small animations for attacks, unique weapon feels would really go a long way. when you have a more classic RPG style game, the main issue usually is the repetitive nature of the combat system but you can help that by making every build/class feel very different

This game starts out fairly fun but quickly ramps up into near impossible difficulty which ruined it for me. Within two dungeon levels it went from being fairly easy to regular encounters fighting rat kings, watchers, and cultists who can take off 1/4 of your life with a single hit. Uneven ramp up of difficulty without the ability to go back to lower dungeon levels to grind xp brings the gameplay to a near pointless standstill. Very poorly designed.
