Excellent strategy game, with a learning curve – ENYO Review

I previously rated this 4 stars, but with the last two updates to fix bugs and a bit more experience, it has definitely earned 5. I'm keeping the main block of my old review below and adding on some extra thoughts. The first few times I played this, it was very frustrating with the repetitive actions that the tutorial taught me, and I died a lot. I almost deleted the app. (However, the new info box explaining what the different enemies do, and the new repeatable tutorial, might make starting easier now) It took trial and error to figure out some basic things - that you can use the hook to pull and push enemies behind you, that you can stun enemies/be stunned by a push into a wall, etc. The game became so much better once I learned those tricks, and in this way, the game rewards creative thinking and experimentation. It's now an enjoyable and reasonably challenging strategy game with some fun moves and combos - there's something very rewarding about goading a Minotaur into charging at you over a rune and having it be redirected straight into a pit of lava. I still haven't made it past level 7 of expert, but I'm having fun trying and still discovering a few new tricks. Despite the initial trickiness, I love the concept and gameplay. My one request would be to make it easier to find different relics, or add more relics - I've won the game about 7 times and every time I've won "the fleece" which is a bit frustrating. I would also appreciate a graphic or bit of backstory for relics - what the heck is the fleece and why am I risking my life to recover a piece of wool? That would make winning more fun.
