1. The original idea of the game was remaking Army of Darkness, but it has been evolved to now. I took some references from Siegius, PvZ, and Warcraft III. I need your feedback regarding the core mechanics. Do you think many player will like this game (combining pve RTS with RPG style)

2. What art do you think gonna suit into the game. My idea was anime or cartoon, which do you think more suitable, or maybe you have other opinion.

3. Do you think adding story is necessary?

It looks good!

1. the style looks engaging, so I think people will enjoy it.

2. the anime/cartoon design style is probably the easiest to execute so I'd say stick with it.

3. story is a great idea as long as it's a good story. I think some basic "why is this character doing this" will suffice.

Best of luck with it!
