The concept behind this game is very simple, but don't let that fool you. There's quite a bit of strategizing to be had, more so as you progress. I lost twice to the final challenge, but learned my lesson, came properly prepared and emerged victorious the third time. Don't forget you can inspect monsters without fighting, and change gear prior to combat to reduce lost HP. The artifacts are quite varied, and open up many more options. Best of all, it's quite satisfying to one-hit kill a monster that used to give you so much trouble before. Great game!
