Feedbacks and Critics are very welcome !
This game can benefit a lot from players input and ideas.
I plan to make a bigger game in the same universe, with more in-depth combat and RPG elements.

Missing Attributions :
This game was originally a personal project, just to blow steam off from regular work. I didn't expect to go this far. I used a lot of art without logging their sources. This was a mistake : it's now hard to attribute arts to their respective authors. If your art is used in this game but not properly attributed, I am sorry, it's lame. Please contact me and I will :
- add you and your links to the credits
- or remove the art from the game if that is your wish.

Obviously my only suggestion would be to give it a more unified graphic style, preferably not using assets from random people without the proper rights; If this is a personal project for fun I guess that's no big deal but if you plan to expand on this I suggest taking special care on that aspect.
Thanks for feedbacks ! it's very helpful.
"More unified graphic" : you are right. I'm working on a shader technique to unify different graphic without resorting to pixel-art/pixelization like many games do. The next game will have a more professional look (even if visual will remain my weak point).
Seems interesting, though I think it'd be nice if you credited the folks whose art you used and/or simply put a disclaimer on the page that these aren't your assets/are free assets/aren't the final assets?
I'd be curious about the artistic future of the project, considering it's marked "in development".
:) Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and for this constructive criticism. The game already contained credits but now I added them on the itch.io page !
Thanks a ton for reading my comment and making a chance-- as an artist who works on games, I really appreciate that!
For the future of this project, I hope to expend on the same universe where the player meet, fight or partner with incarnations of societal concepts (like Justice, Order, etc...). I also hope to give it a more political tone, so that different factions have different socio-economic models (capitalism, individualisme, socialism, etc...) embedded both in the gameplay and the background.
Sounds cool! Good luck!
