Ren'Py Dungeons & Essence [v0.4.1] [Frost Games]

[frostgames]

How is the frist dungeon even possible with only 3 summons? What a shitshow.

I test the game on hardmode and I beat it. But I am open to feedback, what is making it so hard for you? You know you can change your team between fights in the dungeon, right?

And apparently I forgot to post here that the game was update with the 0.4 combat rework, as always changelog and downloads on the main page.

English is not my native language, so it dont know how to explain properly. BUT "balancing" imho is non-existing. A freakin fire-mage-adventurer wrecks half of my group with a single fire spell... WTF

Thats ridicolous. You can barely beat the plants with the gob's, then you have plants (when you're lucky and dont encounter to often groups of 3-5 plants, because this is just a slaughterfest and no fun), but the plants are to weak to beat the adventurers/goblin layer/fire beast (encounter after plants zone)...

At first this game sound interesting, but it is no fun. Enemy crit half of my group out of life and my group (3 Plants, Water-shaman und myself (Caster)) cant do anything to most of the enemys after the first dungeon.

Didnt try the second dungeon yet, but I know the outcome...
Playing on "hero", dont know what thats means, because there is no hint if its easy or normal or hard or "what-ever-player-punch-yourself".

Edit:
Tried for 1 hour now to beat the lvl 2 dungeon, adventurer group and the group around the 2 orcs... with the current possible setup it is definitely unbeatable.
You can tell me anything, but this gamedesign is so bad.

To be honest I'm really mad right now, this is no soulslike, people are here to play delicious porn/hentai/whatever-fetish-you-have-game with one hand, but this kills it.
I always thought game-dev's should make their games beatable for everyone to gain subs and make money... how foolish of me.
I'm done.

You have a limited amount of fights against Vilith at each level. This represents her leveling up, I am thinking of lifting this limit even if it becomes less realistic but I have not decided yet.

You will only get 4 summons after defeating the goblin dungeon.

You should be able to beat the slime after reaching level 1 if you keep to the tested and true 1 tank 1 healer and the rest dps. Don't forget to buy gear for the role you want to play in the party. You can also fight the bronze tier plants during the night and should be able to defeat them at level 1, they will provide you with more summon options and skills, plant is strong against water.

And something really important keep an eye on your resting status and rest to recover it, if it reaches negative you and your summon will lose max health.

Also, never put melee summons(including yourself if you are using a melee weapon and melee atks) on the backline, they will deal half damage while they are there with the frontline not empty.

I dont know what you did with the 0.4 update, because I did not play the previous version, but HOW am I suppossed to beat the adventurer at silver and gold in the forest? And the group of the 2 orcs too? I dont get it, it is impossible for me.

I dont know what do you think how people play your game, but it is fucking frustrating. I thought I give it a 2nd shot, but I just keep losing... tried the 2nd dungeon but no chance either...

Pls stop saying that I should read the manual in the game, I did that, but I still dont get it. I need a guide. Otherwise this game is impossible for me and for other players like me too.

Looks like you would probably do better on the "OP protagonist" difficult, which is the easy mode. But it is only for patrons.

Managed to get the orc shaman and tank, but the fire mage adventurer keeps killing me. Switched different combo's, but my group keep getting grilled. Dont know how to deal with this.

Dont how people do this at all, didnt got the shivari arker yet, fought her a few times, but she stopped showing up, got her on 66,8%. Is she suppossed to get after the plant dungeon?

Yes, you can only unlock her on the level 3 zone. If you want a tip for the plant dungeon, it is quite easy with the orc tank and the fire boss on your team. You can fight the fire boss once a day and need 4 wins to unlock it.

 

[Ryjon]

Alright, finished the plant dungeon AND finally killed the fire mage. WTF. Didnt try the fire boss yet, will give it a shot soon. Thanks.

But man tbh the start of your game is really frustrating, getting killed over and over again made me really mad, and I think I'm not the only one. Yes, it is rewarding to beat the shit out of your nemesis, but maybe a little fine-tuning would be nice for the early phase/start of the game, just my 2 cents.

To unlock level 2 you need to beat the goblin dungeon and be at 100 experience, the first fight against the adventurers blocking the entrance you will lose, but after the first loss you can try again without getting ambushed. You can beat them fair and square or you can seek help from the three slime group and get the three slimes helping you during the fight.

so I have to level up before doing the quest?
