One bug I found is that when I use a runesword on monsters with liquid ooze, I lose HP during the animation but after I would be at full health instead of being damaged. Don't know if this applies with nosferatu yet but it might affect nosferatu as well. P.S: I love joshua's swordmaster critical animation!

You can try Sacred Trilogy, a remake hack of Sacred Stones. Really good in my opinion, and lots of additions to make to game feel fresh. Does not really fit the shifting criteria since it only has one Manakete, but said Manakete is still plenty for the army to me.
