I don't think the 5E incorporation was "necessary", but it was a really nice format. They did a good job with it, actually better than Solasta.
As an old D&D player I really liked it, thought they captured the spirit of the game, and gave kudos on what they did with the dice rolling. It was cute.
If I would make any changes I would suggest a more easily readable menu to Identify things, and maybe allow larger than four in a party. The camping deal was fantastic.
