This reminds me immensely of Paper Mario in that it is a minimal RPG that gets everything it does right. Combat is as simple as it is thought-provoking, and the setting, art and music are incredibly charming.
Still, it leaves me wanting more; more weapons, enemies and locations mainly, as lack of variety in a roguelike is always a death sentence (see my review of fucking dead cells for example).
I can't help but feel if this were not a roguelike, but rather a more expansive RPG with a story, I would absolutely adore this. It already has an incredibly strong base, I hope one day a sequel builds on that.
