Speaking of wishes, I wish I knew how much it was going to cost. If it was $20, I just might buy it on release day!
Wouldn't want my employer to think I'm moonlighting.
Spoiler, click me
Ahem...
One thing bothers me about this, though.
There has been such a crazy number of 2D action RPGs like this in the last months, it really feels like this specific niche is completely oversaturated.
And yet they keep on coming!

It's published by 11bit studios (This War of Mine and the upcoming Frostpunk), who seem very Linux-friendly, nice to see some companies view us favourably.

I for one can't think of that many good 2D ARPGs on or coming to Linux.

Just look at the current Battle Royale stuff ;)
The problem is that even the bad ones add to the saturation.
