that sounds fun! I am not very familiar with these types of games, but I am really glad you have a vision that is solidifying!
I like godot. It isn't perfect by any means. There was one really horrible design decision they made with 4.0 that really killed some of my enthusiasm for the project I was trying to work on... They have pushed back fixing it for several years at this point. However, outside of that, I liked the experience of working in godot.
