The tech was pretty cool (level generation, shadows, etc.) but the game was a bit dull to play to be honest, feeling too difficult with a melee weapon but way too easy with any ranged weapon.

Lv. 15Cool idea
Probably one of the biggest problems was the random generation though. I'd often find bridges over rivers that were impassable because a bunch of trees spawned right over it as well.
Followers were useless because they would very quickly be left behind. The game was laggy as well, no idea why.

For a jam entry, this is pretty impressive! A decent bit of tech behind it, some nice varied graphics, decent gameplay - although a little too fast and frenetic for my abilities (not what I expected going into it xD), and the music fit the style well.
I wish the deaths had been less abrupt - because I had a few of them 😅

I think the best thing about this is the procedural generation, really clever, it makes each playthrough different. I like the RPG style as well, a nice well-rounded game, good job!

There are a lot of ambitious systems in this game and it doesn't always work but it's still very cool
