Overall ideas and thoughts on combat

Hello, first of all I just wanna say I absolutely love this game and can’t wait to see it grow, evolve and become a sensation.

But some feedback/ideas.

  1. Shields, are you planning on implementing some kind of shield spells? Bash, charge, shield throw, some kind of protection buffs, taunts or so on for the future? Shields feel kinda underwhelming as of now, it just sits in the offhand and being used as a parry.
    Same with the torch, is it intended to only be a light source? Or will you be able to hit with it, burn stuff, maybe blow fire with it, light the weapon or so on with runes.

  2. I’ve always been a fan of the light paladin fantasy, and I’m wondering if a spellbook for offhand is in your minds? And as mentioned above, spells with shields. With heals, smite, purge, buff the weapon with holy light, just being an awesome light knight! To purge the darkness, and so on, using a hammer and a spellbook/shield would be sick. Even a magical offhand of some kind, like a wans.

  3. More variety offhands. Same as above.

  4. Gauntlets, I haven’t seen it yet so it might be in the game, but I absolutely love the love you give to the fighting genre, with the fireball (hadouken) the spin kick (tatsu) but where is the dragon fist (shoryuken)? Gotta have that big finisher! And btw, I love the backstab, just feels so satisfying.

  5. Parries/Finishers. Are we going to see more finishers with animation? Reposte after parry or stun? Different backstabs being able to choose or different gauntlets have different animations, for example. The wands right now have the mace backstab correct? Though the wands in this game just feels amazing, combat wise.

Lastly I just wanna say I absolutely love the combat, I hope you keep this game difficult, always fun with a challenge and finding that right balance, before the newest hotfix the combat was extreme but ok and now it feels really good. The atmosphere feels amazing, I feel like I’m there even though it’s topdown, the camera movement to show towns in the background, zooming out when enemies is closed it’s amaxing and overall feel of the game. Keep doing what you doing!
