- 2.5D rendering. Character and enemies will render either in from or behind obstacles depending on their position on Y axis.
- Enemy AI will roam around their spawns in groups, will attack and follow main character if in sight. Can walk around simple obstacles.
- Different drops and drop rate on each enemy. Some drop rare loot which cannot be bought from the shop. (no wiki for the drops, it can be inspected in Map Creator)

- It is technically possible to add more objects and more enemies, but they will not show up in the Hot Bar automatically without any code changes thus it will be impossible to use those newly added objects.
Project was created with Borland C++ Builder 6 (2002 I believe). It's quite an ancient piece of software which I do not own anymore. I haven't tried to compile it with any modern IDE. It has Borland specific libraries for drawing on Canvas and .bpr project file extension, might not be trivial to migrate to another build system.
Everything is released under MIT License, feel free to use it. Although, the code is in poor quality. The game was originally created somewhere around 2012, I was still learning programming and didn't really know how to use a lot of C++ features (like classes, structs, common data collections and structures etc). Would not advice using this project as an example to learn programming.
