- “I respect that this is a one-man project, but you should seriously have taken more time to polish this core gameplay mechanic, and perhaps considered proofreading the writing for the story bit you included, as it is extremely evident English is not the dev's first language, making the game feel like it's a parody when I'm pretty sure they want the game to be taken seriously.”

The emotional aspect of the game is impacted by its combat mechanics, which emphasize close-range engagement reminiscent of medieval battles. This design choice may evoke feelings of tension and urgency, as players must physically approach enemies to strike, enhancing the immersive experience but potentially leading to frustration for those accustomed to more modern combat systems.
