So it's turn based combat and a slot machine huh? It's technically not new (thinking of characters like Setzer and Cait Sith) but I don't think I've seen it replace the entire battle system. Sadly, there is a problem with that, the player doesn't contribute anything to winning. You could integrate some of the old gambling myths to solve that. Like rubbing the coin on the machine before using it. Lastly, the lack of sound and indicators of the damage done is taking away a lot of the experience.

Thanks for the feedback! Player feedback is definitely the most important thing that is completely absent from my entry. I'll be paying a lot of attention to that in particular on my next project, I think I'll be referring to the classic "Juice it or lose it" talk for inspirations. I really like the Idea of having a buff system that adds more involvement for the player, that's a pretty neat Idea that I'll definitely add that if I revisit this game.
