I agree. I found the battle against the Shade of Brin Gardius way harder than the following dragon fight and final boss... he was probably only topped by the fight against B-whatever the axe...
I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but i was playing as the cult on mission 4 and I tried to cast the Frost Enchantment spell thing, but it wouldn't do anything, so I kept recasting and I soon realized my mana was still depleting, oddly enough into the negatives. So I had around -3000 mana by the time I stopped, so I was basically spell-locked for most of the game... Bug or Feature?
Also, it seems that, if you switch away from a cooling down spell and back to it, you can skip spell cooldowns, which lets you compound effect like meditate and speed+ quite nicely.
Well, I wield the keyboard and it started for me... I just pressed P and space and enter a few times when it said press start, and I pressed space a few times on the menu screen to give me a mission select, then space a few more times to get me in a mission, I think... after that, the controls in the instructions were accurate enough.
Very nice, the music was very calming, and the artwork was masterful. The story is interestingly similar to what the maker considered the best ending to a visual novel I've played before, which, interestingly enough, was called "Moonlight Walks." But yeah, great game, as always.
Gah, it's like all the characters are imports from Childrin R Skary... either that, or those characters grew up and all conglomerated here... those eyes... *shivers*
