About to go get the letter back from the mystics, level 7. Seems like the monsters give you WAY too much gold, but maybe it levels out later on. Not sure why the inn is in the first town when you can nap for free. The attack accessory adds like 30 attack power while the shield and hat add 1 defense each that seems a little out of wack. Fun game so far though, I liked that the king couldn't lend you any soldiers, because his were all marching in place in front of him
Controller wise, I have two snes controllers hooked up with usb and neither of them work. However, I have an n64 controller hooked up via adaptoid and that one works great. Control stick for movement, with right and down c for buttons.
