Controls are a bit tricky. Took a few tries to figure out what to do. Got through a few levels but "Link" proved to be too resourceful.

Did not manage to get more than lvl two or understand all the controls.

An interesting idea. I struggled with the controls - there's not much time to react at the start of the level, and the camera is sometimes in an unhelpful place. Perhaps it would add more interesting gameplay to have guards attack on the spot when not controlled, so you have to move them to strategic places. Controlling a unit would still be useful for more skilful combat, or flanking, or activating traps.

Not a bad game, hard to click on the guys to take control of them though.. maybe a tab key or something?

Finished the game in a single go. It's a neat concept, but shame that the actual combat kind of turns into mashing X repeatedly. Does what it sets out to do well though and feels polished. Amusing to find a game that like mine uses possession in an evil dungeon. ;)
