Legion Breaker

Really cool game. Must admit it almost lost me initially on the first few rounds because of how annoying it was to get used to predicting shots. HOWEVER, the pacing is great and I forgot all about it as things developed. Defently worth a wishlist add.

For some reason the new update has caused the itch page not to work. I'm just getting itch's 404 page.

Upgrades should be worded as "3 -> 4 damage" instead of "3 to 4 damage", it's the 4th playthrough and I still have to remind myself that's not a damage range.

A very nice take on the nodelike structure, if a bit short for a demo with no indication what gameplay beyond this looks like.
Pros
+ Familiar enough structure with enough unique features to set it apart from others.
+ Paced very well.
+ Interesting upgrades that change how the game plays as it progresses.
So-Sos
~ Very short, took me less than 30 minutes to complete.
~ Barring the 2 status effects, the combat is very basic "health vs. damage". (i.e. Tankier enemies have more health, but never armour or % damage reduction, for example)
~ The music is a bit too "epic" for what's happening, in my opinion. It feels like it's trying to add more tension than necessary.
Cons
- Watching my archers massively overkill a basic skeleton rather than spread some of that damage elsewhere is frustrating.
- It's claiming to sell a battlemage fantasy... with 2 spells (the seond replacing every 7th shot of your first) and no martial abilities. Words mean things. If you don't intend to add close quarters combat, then it's not a battlemage - it's a regular mage, in a battle.
- Having the same dark forest as a backdrop (just more zoomed out) is a bit uninspiring. I'd like to see different biomes, or some kind of story explaining what's going on.
Overall
It's nice. Not bad, but not great. I can't recommend it currently as "lots more bosses/upgrades/etc." could mean anything and there are no visuals to back up the claim. But if you'll forgive the pun, it's got good bones.

I really enjoyed the delay mechanic. It made the game feel really unique.

The spearmen confused me a little. The archers attacked everyone who crossed their line but im still not exactly sure how the spearmen choose their targets.
Additionally, i think the shard upgrades could be worded a little better. Such as "split chance" and "maximum splits" because at first i thought i was getting a chance to get a new currency rather than the shots splitting on impact.

All of the enemies have very basic attach mechanisms, so i think at least for the mage boss it should stop at a little bit of range and shoot spells back at you.

Since the main thing that makes this game unique is the delay from shooting to hitting, i think there should be a small zone in the middle where if you hit the enemy in that spot, there is some sort of bonus. Something like a slight damage boost, an extra little bit of delay before they start moving again, or a small gold boost. This also makes it feel like aiming still matters when you get a high aoe and projectile speed.

This is really nice, keen to see how it progresses!

fun! very clean and easy to manage. a nice quick little incremental :3
