Alex, I picked this up and played through the point you had reached in your first four episodes. It was fun for me, at least knowing what was there and trying to optimize from the beginning. I sped through, focusing on advancing the story, and I reached Chapters 4 and 5 by character level 9. I hadn't used any healing items yet, but I'm worried I might have hit a brick wall being at such a low level. In order to go anywhere beyond the NE corner of the map, all enemies are, like, level 22/25/30. Maybe I can grind to beef up my character to the point I can break out of my "
prison"
, but it feels quite possible I've gotten myself stuck by playing too efficiently...
Edit: I worried in vain. There was a tunnel I could use to escape that area, so I could keep levelling up on weaker enemies.

Ever tried Desktop Dungeons? I'd argue it's mechanically much closer to Myth Bearer than magic tower games are. Level-up healing is one of the main gimmicks. The scope is very different though (randomly generated single-screen levels).
Ah, yeah! I'd completely forgotten that was a thing there. I appreciate the reminder.
