I think it's lacking engagement, I mean after 3 times playing I just don't really care to see what happens anymore and I'm not really intrigued by the upgrades either. It's not bad gameplay-wise, just needs more appeal.
Story development is kind of slow, don't you think? By 3/4 of the chapters, I still don't get the connections between templars, vampires and the battle between angels & demons. Still, it's quite a fun game, but the battles rely too much on luck--grid should be bigger next time.
WOW. Just... wow. I can't imagine what kind of game you could have come up had you been given bigger, more experienced and professional team. I can tell you played a lot of classic RPG; your writing, character design, world building, they are all console-standard. I'm definitely looking forward for the sequel of Starwish and please continue making other games as well. 8D
