so apparently I suck and don't understand this game even though I am usually pretty good at side scrollers..
I leave the summoning area at the first of the game and come out.. but I die from lvl 3??? zombies because she can't hit them for hardly any damage at all.. they are like little mini-bosses in an rpg technically.. am I really supposed to just dodge and dodge and dodge.. while hitting them forever with little dmg of 7 or less each time?
or am i missing something? cuz if they grab you they do massive chunks of dmg and you can't even get away very fast, so they get to take a few huge chunks of hp off before you can get away possibly..
any help for understanding this game better?
edit: nevermind, it's just bad game design.. I see that you're supposed to ignore them and go underground to fight lvl 1 enemies..
it makes no sense, but anyways whatever.. lol
edit2: do they actually expect you to grind levels like crazy on this game? The champion is ridiculous because of the small area, but it would be doable IF the knockback of my attack was a consistent thing.. but sadly, the DEV didn't design it well and the champion decides by RNG(i guess?) if the knockback will happen or if he will just go through my attack and act like I didn't hit him.. and then proceed to stab and stab and stab..
I like the concept of the game, but man.. it's just bad in some ways. I've beaten unfair games a lot, but I can't believe what I'm seeing..
give you an example:
just now, I started the champion boss fight.. I messed up though and I jumped a bit too low.. he jumps and hits me.. (okay, this part is fair.) now, I fall on the ground.. she is laying there as I press direction buttons to get up.. he is VERY FAST so he goes and stabs me like 2 or 3 times (idk how many but it's fast)
so now I get up and I have 30-40% hp left.. all this is from basically 1 attack, when he hit me as I jumped. wow.. so fair, DEV, nice!
edt3: beat him by being very careful.. boring fight if I have to do it this way. :/ (use only 1 skill and continue to bait 1 type of attack over and over.. boring but it's the only way I saw to beat him since he does the grab and stab if he even just touches you.. it even happens when he gets hit HARD by a magic attack.. oh well.. grab and stab)
I'm guessing you are supposed to grind levels.. I've beat everything up to this point and I'm lvl 8 still.. you really get no xp pretty much and the enemies don't even have a grab attack.. they just grab you if you are by them.. no animation warning or anything..
edit4: well, in terms of trash game design in boss fights, this is the king of all.. Vivi can and will stunlock you to death, even if you get hit 1 time..
and the best part it yet to come! you can't hurt her when she is shielded, while she shoots her stunlocking magic at you..
AND.. wait, there's more! she can also one-shot you if you touch her dark magic she casts! ..all while fighting other witches that cast huge fireballs and grab you too! Wow, thanks DEV! nice fair game, totally :/
edit5: I beat vivi using the hp regen ring and being EXTREMELY careful.. now I'm level 15, almost 16 and the DEV says hey now you need to go to a hot spring and put medicine in it.. but there are level 27s there that I have to work stupidly hard to kill even one at a time..
..I mean, srsly?!?! lvl 27? I've been all over the map, killed way more enemies for money and xp than I should have.. and I'm only lvl 15.. fuck you DEV.
