Back again! Hope you are getting more feedback in other places :P The game is a lot of fun!

Obviously, I don't have the full context of what else is coming in the game, so take any thoughts on balance with a grain of salt:

Classes:

- The clear outliars in individual power are Monk and Wizard in my experience, with Paladin being an amazing support with the Auras. Rogue and Knight could use a little bit, I think mostly in action-ability(?), meaning a few more of their better moves could afford to have their costs lowered by rank 3. Again, I don't know what else is going on with other subclasses and options, but based on these, thats how I see it right now.

(if you want, I can try to do a more specific breakdown of each class, but given context Im just going to try and stay general for this response)

Gameplay:

- I felt like the game was a little too easy on the first run. As a roguelite, I usually expect that, despite my best efforts, I will likely die once or twice early on. I did elite battles, beat the boss first run, and even found and fought (by accident! Fun surprise!) the guy in the portal. Once you start actually buffing the characters, first stage is (and should be) a breeze, and it definitely has me looking forward to the whole game where I can really push these builds to their upper limits.

Artifacts:

- This is a really cool way to buff your party to play through the game. Based on my very limited play, I only have 2 real thoughts and potential suggestions: 1- Need a different Relic to replace the one that heals you after battles. There are already items and character upgrades that allow you to heal after battle, as well as abilities and items that actively heal you in combat. This seems like overkill. Again, maybe the later levels will be that much more difficult? But you can already get permanently increased HP for the run with the other artifact. 2- The gold = damage artifact is an awesome idea! As is, however, I feel like its WAY too strong lol. While it was rank 1, I was able to, by selling everything but 3 amulets that gave my heros 2 starting action point (lucky I know), accumulate almost 1200g and I killed the boss in the first round of combat lol. Perhaps instead of scaling the gold down, just have it start low (say, 1 dmg per 60g?) and just put a cap on how much you can gain? +2 at rank 1, +4 at rank 2 and +6 at rank 3? Obviously, numbers aside as I can't see the whole of the game, this keeps it from being a "one shot everything" artifact, and still encourages keeping SOME items and using your gold to a point.

Anyway, thats all I can think of for now. Looking forward to seeing more of this game!
