The game doesn't work correctly. Don't buy it in its current state. Bosses will do a clearly outlined attack and instantly kill you, enemies will either become invisible, or their attacks will which will result in completely mysterious deaths, there's a boss area where some flame traps are underground or invisible, resulting in more mystery deaths.
It's got some stuff going for it, but not enough. It's more frustrating than anything and the design wastes a lot of your time and discourages certain build choices by default. A good example of that would be that if you ever try to go short range, about half the bosses will instantly kill you with no counterplay for getting close to them, so all boss fights have to be medium range, at the closest. I've tested this even after trying to build tanky, a fair amount of them just have an instant cast AOE of varying sizes that casts death to punish you for not standing on the other side of the screen pot shotting the boss.

Dear MJD24,

thank you for your detailed feedback. I am sorry you had so many issues playing the game. Balancing the boss fights is indeed quite hard, but you are totally right, it needs much more attention. I reduced the boss damage with the latest update, buffed the defensive items and added a new item especially to improve the survivability in close combat. Probably that's not enough but at least it's a start. Please let me know how the changes work for you.

The mysterious deaths you are describing are truly mysterious. I fixed the droids which had some animation problems rendering them invisible sometimes. But the other invisible deaths, I cannot reproduce neither did anybody else report anything like that. I increased the poison feedback, which could lead to mysterious deaths if unknown.
Maybe your build is corrupted so stuff does not show. So you might need to reinstall the game to fix that. I also completely reimported and rebuilt the entire project. So maybe the issue is fixed already.

Next time you encounter a mysterious death, it would be great, if you could let me know what the game over screen showed what killed you.
I will keep searching, but if you have any more information (i.e. which monster, which level, etc) to narrow the issue down, encounter any more bugs, or have more valuable feedback, please let me know as well.

Sorry for asking so much, it is not easy as a solo developer but your help is really appreciated!
