Suggestions for the Game Development Team

Dear Development Team,

After several hours of playing the demo version, I have summarized some of my suggestions below:
(Note: The following are my personal opinions. It is perfectly normal for everyone to have different perspectives, so I hope for your understanding. If any of the functional suggestions I mention below are already in the demo, please forgive my oversight.)

1.Add an option for upgrading adventurer rarity: Similar to the shop upgrade system in other auto chess games, players can spend gold to increase the chances of finding higher rarity adventurers in the late game. (Additional suggestion for reference: offer some paid options for players to refresh adventurers with specific synergies.)

2.Add a feature to actively sell equipment: On several occasions, I found myself just short of gold to purchase new equipment but was unable to sell my current gear. This limitation was quite frustrating.

3.Increase the number of positioning tiles: I’d like to see more positioning options, such as placing an assassin behind enemy mages or healers to quickly take them out. The current grid system feels somewhat limited in terms of strategic placement.

4.Add more equipment slots: Currently, each hero can only equip one item, which feels too conservative. I believe adding more slots could enrich build diversity and strategy. To balance the system, you could categorize the slots, allowing characters to equip two weapons and one accessory, for example.

5.Increase the party size limit: Similar to other auto chess games, it would be great to raise the squad limit as the game progresses, possibly by spending gold or other resources.

6.Optimize the synergy system: Right now, synergies feel difficult to complete, and even when they are completed, the benefits often seem underwhelming. Also, without a system to refresh adventurers with specific synergies, it’s hard to form solid team compositions.

7.Introduce a relic system: Similar to the relics in Slay the Spire, these would help diversify and solidify players' builds.

8.(I find this point crucial) Optimize enemy focus targeting. In the mid-to-late game, enemy focus fire often results in my units being instantly killed. It’s manageable if it's a minor character, but when my DPS or tank is taken out immediately, it can lead to an instant loss. In one late-game match, my heavily-invested tank was killed instantly by enemy focus fire, and my entire team fell apart.

9.Improve the Chinese translation in future updates and the official release: Currently, the demo's Chinese translation is quite poor, barely understandable at times. The Chinese market is vast, and Chinese players are willing to support games with sincere, well-done translations.

Conclusion: These are my thoughts and suggestions after playing the demo. I believe this game has great potential and I look forward to seeing an even better official release. If any part of this feedback is offensive or controversial, I hope you will be understanding. This article was translated using ChatGPT, so there might be some unclear semantics—please bear with me.

Looking forward to your game!

Hi! :)

Thanks a bunch for the thoughtful feedback. It is very appreciated! :)

We will definitely take this all into consideration although some suggestions may be out of scope or technically very hard to achieve. A couple of things I can comment on already.

1) This is something we are hoping to get in, in some shape although it may have to wait to a 1.1 update.

2) This is something we're actively discussing how to accomplish. No promises, but we'd like to add this.

3) Each combat is handcrafted and the positioning tiles differ both in placement and in number per combat. So some combats you may be able to place someone to backstab while others it's not possible. We're still working on more combat areas and I'll definitely keep this feedback in mind when designing. The fact that it is grid--based will not change though as that's part of the tactical design.

4) This is a suggestion we've received from multiple players, we're still reviewing if this is possible without completely throwing balance off.

5) Party-size will not increase, not because we don't see the fun in it, but we tested a larger party-size earlier in development and it becomes very chaotic and hard to understand what's going on in the game. So we've opted for the 6 party limit because at that number you can still kind of follow what each of your character is up to.

6) In preparation for launch we're going through each hero and trying to ensure all skill tree choices and combos are fun and impactful, hopefully that work will address this point. Also remember that there are items that add tags to your team, which should make it slightly easier to get the combos activated.

7) I'd love to, but unfortunately out of scope for now at least.

8) Balancing is something we'll keep addressing all the way until launch. We want all your decisions to matter, when you use your ultimates, how you equip your heroes, how you place them but also how you've built your team composition-wise, etc. But we also want the game to feel fair, so if there is no way you could have made a choice during the game that could've prevented that death, then it's definitely not tuned right and we want to address it.

9) I'll pass this on to our translators. We're definitely invested in making sure the translations are a good as possible. Thank you for letting me know, as someone who doesn't read Chinese myself it's hard to verify the quality of translations.

Thank you so much again for taking the time to provide so much well-considered feedback. I'm very grateful and we will do our best to act on as of it as we can fit into our schedule ahead of launch.

Hello again 辣鸡,

Just checking in after speaking with our translation team who would like a bit more info about the issue you came across.

Are you using simplified or traditional Chinese?

Could you provide examples of where there were issues with the translations? It will help us track them down.

Thanks a lot, we're committed to making this a great experience in Chinese as well and your help is valued! :)

Thank you so much! This is excellent.

I really appreciate all the effort you've gone through to give examples. We'll pass this on and get it looked at.
