Cool game, horrible badge almost only depended on luck (you absolutely need to get the right shop items to make it) who makes the badges in last time? So many are so badly chosen...
"but really, if you can't sit still and focus for 2 minutes it says much more about you than it does about the heavy-handed tutorial." OOOhh wow, insulting your players ....that will end well.
The tut only takes about 2-3 minutes to get through, and conveys essential information about how to play and succeed in the game. We've been testing a lighter tutorial on mobile which we may bring over, but really, if you can't sit still and focus for 2 minutes it says much more about you than it does about the heavy-handed tutorial.
I very much like the change that pawns can move diagonally when there is no enemy. This does a lot to balance to make it less luck based. But slaying straight is not necessary.
Cannot loot rings/loops. They show up on the loot log but not in adventure. Same for a quicksteel vorpal blade I should have gotten, but it isn't there! :(((
Most devs will roll over when insulted, but that doesn't end well either. If you don't like the game, you can play another one.
