the way the game "chooses" which grid you put your item on really bugged me the entire game, and then, then came along the challenge mode.

As an addition to my previous statement. The battle should be calculated by how many bars you have left at the end. For instance, if you have 5 attack bars left, but 0 of any other, your score is 5. Your opponent has no attack bars but 2 ranged, 2 magic and 2 defense, giving him a score of 6, resulting in the opponent victory. This would prevent players from picking 3 stats and simply not getting the fourth, as well as adding a more consistent way of determining who wins, since a tie would be far less likely.

Equal stats should always mean a tie for that stat. It's dumb to have massively more stats than your opponent on 2 and exactly equal on 2, then end up losing against those 2 and losing the spin.

The truth: You are the helper manging your character's inventory in every RPG game and the hero is your character that gets the fame.

The concept of this game is pretty damn good. It's one of those concepts where you truly think "how do you think of it?" (being a hoarder in a MMO comes to mind, though). However, I'm not the first one to note some flaws. In the campaign, losing and maxing out equipment and grid first is possible, and makes it pretty easy. I didn't do this, but losing should have had a penalty. Also in the campaign, attack, defense and magic are by far the easiest to control, and coincidentally, is all you need to win a match. Those that want a perfect victory can go through stacking ranged but it seems not worth the effort. Then in the survival mode all of a sudden, ranged (and gold) is prefered over the rest, due to all the stacking possibilities. It's a weird unbalance. For the idea, good story and above average execution, 4/5.

YES SIR GOOD LUCK SIR I laughed so hard. I find it interesting that after playing through the entire game and winning the game and then deliberately losing the final battle, the hero somehow still won.

For now I have to say that this game has a nice concept but an utterly flawed implementation... I get lag in the main game... suffice it to say there appears to be a bug - aside from this there are a number of nice ideas that are botched in implementation... the comments here give a long and detailed list. This is a perfect example of why a good idea does not necessarily transfer into good game design and if that doesn't happen then implementation is stuffed. It also shows that although Kongregate achievements can draw the punters it is a double edged sword because it can't keep them and if you've still bugs or you need to do updates you will suffer because people will not likely ever be back... back to the drawing board I'm afraid guys... if you get it together I'll change my mind... if I have reason to bother coming back.

strong against attach
weak against magic
'OK, I'll make it all magic'
My defense is 3/4 full, my magic is 3/4 full, other two have two blips.
Monster: VE NEVER WON A TIE? WELL SHUCKS
2/5 for funnish gameplay, but pisspoor execution

How about making the weakness something to required and if you lose in that category, you lose the level. After that is taken in account, just leave the rest as it is.

2) Rather than having to wait till the prep screen and individually adding items to find out their stat increase, maybe put that in its desciption - not just 'medium' or 'weak'?

Cute concept but fails on delivery.
1st Point) Even if you max out the grid and equip slots AND collect most of the items in a level, it doesn't help because:
a) items are random b) you can combine enough items (esp magic) c) you don't know how much to put into each stat until AFTER you've faced the boss.
Also, all those handy hints that come up during the first half of each level disappears, so I have to guess based on size...
