Mistakes are costly when in combat usually single move or attack can determine the outcome
Power curve is quite flat while with proper equipment your character can dish out significant damage he still remains quite fragile and getting too cocky results in a quick death
There is a small id game there are unidentified potions and scrolls you can find however they get identified every time you gain a level
All attacks consume stamina and if you run out of it you can no longer use weapon special attacks you can still use the basic bump into enemy attack and you receive more damage
There is rich lore behind the game world however it s not in your face if you are interested you can connect the dots about game world from the flavor texts of items and monsters this one is work in progress I have the lore and the story all laid out however there are still lots of flavor texts to be written
