Flesh out Shields more!
I really like parry mechanics in games, but I played through the game without even trying to parry because I didn’t know it was a thing! The shields only say hold to guard, and they never mention a parry
Plus, there’s no on-parry effects for any shield, and there aren’t many shields to begin with!
I’d love to see more shields with different effects, maybe an attack or crit buff after a successful parry or generating an item from the drop pool of the enemy that attacks you upon successful parries (this could help with grinding a specific enemy without having to kill it)
Heck, “Defense” or “Shields” could even be a skill to level up!
