Hm... looks like the remake remade the menus.
The original is jankey, but was heavily menu driven: the UI was a prototype for JRPGs. ( I think... published 1981, 5 years prior to dragonquest)

Hm... have you tried Wizardy 1 (dos/apple version)?
It pretty much inspired the combat mechanic of most JRPGS for a good 20 year period.
(Though the manual was kinda required)

Normie bots compared to drone-bots?

Deep Impact With Big Naturals

Heh... fun fact- donks are often used to 'guard' a herd of animals, and are naturally aggressive to k-9s.

Meaning: I know better than underestimating the ears 😁

🦝+😈= 👍

... Genuinely curios, and apologies if this is too much: thinking of 'bi' people as both OK?

Like rounding up or down as shorthand, but considering the core is both?

It's not super well known, that one, I just use the phrase (I think I mentally translate it wrong though)

Can look up how it sounds on youtube, super minimal.

Thankfully they didn't put apples or carrots on the keyboard as keys, or we'd really be in trouble.

Zazen is pretty intense, you got grit!

I find a minimal chant is effective, good for counting reps and saying mentally in certain situations. I use 'Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō'

Got a preferred type of meditation?

Keyboards aren't made for hoofs 😭

Worst design work- 1 hit KOs everywhere

With the standard mode, multiple lives handle this, & possible to avoid by playing slow

Enemies are procedural here for rares+ and can often warp, so can't learn most enemies.

A one turn 'introduction' stopping gameplay+show risks of enemy would solve this

The main issue is linear, repetitive, very long and samey gameplay that necessitates 'exterminate all enemies' on a level.

The skill trees+character building+combat is up there with top roguelikes, but the level design falls short.

Brilliant, for sure! Roguelike mode is broke

Analytics of Confucius works for that type of thing (it's public domain).

For individual skills, a surprising amount of masters of craft wrote books.
