I honestly believe that if you're going to make a game without gameplay, you're better off just writing a story or drawing a comic or whatever.
I understand you, but for combat to be enjoyable the game has to have some deep lore and a detailed plot (games like Cursed Armor or Roundscape Adorevia), without it its just bland 2d combat. Maybe if you are deep into roleplaying, writing beforehand a long D&D scenario for this 4 characters, it would have been different, but in the game the plot is just about spanking your enemies.

With all respect, I like the art and the scenes, but I think its not okay when ratio between combat and text in RPGM game is 9 to 1.
