Alright I tested 2 classes so far (Ranger and Necro) and holy shit this map of yours has potential. The skills are highly detailed, I love the Talents section and the map scroll intro for the first mission is good too. Overall it feels like a complete map already and I would like to see it getting more updates down the road.

 

[s[i]n]

Thanks! It's a really difficult map with only 1 person, even with scaling enemies. I might have to add a "single player mode" that beefs you up a bit. Thanks for testing!

 

[nhs325]

Some bugs exist though. Ranger's Mount skill doesn't reduce her attack range when you go back to unmount mode.

Ok I’ll add that in the to-do list. Next time you play a game with some people can you post some screenshots? I don’t know enough people to host full game tests so my screens are lacking haha. Thanks!

Not that anyone see's this thread anymore but I've updated it multiple times in the last year. Here is a twitch VOD of a few people playing the current version. I'm not affiliated with anyone in this video, just thought it was cool seeing people play my map. Cheers.

Game starts at 5 minute mark:
