What to study

Every enemy declares its next move with an icon floating above it, crossed axes and swords carrying exact damage numbers, including a 13x2 multi-hit, so a turn is planned against known information rather than guessed. The ten-card hand arcs across the bottom with energy gems on each card, and status icons sit directly under each health bar, where the numbers they modify live. Frame at about 0:31 in the Launch Trailer (Steam).
