I think it would be more interesting if you had to pick and choose between your perks. So like 5 equipment slots, kill 10 of 1 enemy type to get 1 item (like snake venom or boar hide) and then you have to pick which items to equip depending on your strategy (ie hide for defense, venom for poison, rabbit foot for speed etc). Then as you level up (or complete quests?) you can unlock more equipment slots. if you wanna go crazy letting equipment synergise would be interesting too.
Amazing game. I've been playing it (on and off) for years, and I'd be keen to buy an expansion pack, if one existed. Also want to recommend the Altar arena for people who have been playing it for a while but want a twist, its probably the best arena mode.
Quite a good game, but too short. Seems like making new levels wouldnt be too hard too, so you could bring out a sequel/expansion with relatively little effort, I would think. Maybe I'm underestimating how much work goes into level design though.
