You just need to pick up your sword... That's obvious when you read the dialogue, or check the objective, or check the

. Either way it's probably not your kind of game.
When reading comprehension is your biggest enemy... I never had trouble with the game pointers, Though yeah the combat has much to be desired but it is in it's early stages with the art and story being the main focus at the moment dev wise. If you want something done then supporting the dev and having patience would be the logical and ideal thing to do. and honestly? The art does carry the game this early on and that's more that can be said for most that end up being abandoned.

Not as stupid or blind as the guy that fails to read the quest, the objective or even look at the bloody screen.
Tip for the future, when YOU are the problem, it's best not to make it obvious by trying to blame the devs. Makes you sound like DarkSydePhil.

The Russian translation is so fucking disgusting. Do you not give a shit that much that you just embedded unedited Google translation into the game?
Hate to ruin your imaginary world, but "obvious coz of dialogue" is not a gamedesign. In games "obvious" is where highlighted markers placed. Or at least, when your taskbar tells you to search for doors. Or at least , HIGHLIGHTING the doors. There is issues with contrast settings. While in comix you can use that blurry 50 shades of beige, in games where player INTERACTS with your world, you should at least make decent contours. AT LEAST. Or kill that filthy thief who stole colors, leaving only that 50 shades of beige.
Characters SHOULD stand out from surroundings. Interactive objects SHOULD stand out from interior clutter - or there SHOULD be "highlight interactions" button. Videogame industry is more than 50 years old now, it has its own rules and tips. If developers choose to ignore that rules - well, the end is predictable. Examples is hundreds.
There is Fire Emblem Heroes where seasoned devs implement a simple Rock-Paper-Scirsoss system. And AFTER THAT they begin to complicate things. About a year and a half after the complete release. Here we have unnececarry overcomplicated shit instead of battle system. Is it contributes to story? No. Is it maybe somewhat emphasizes artstyle? No. Maybe it is highlights character backgrounds? No. Then why the fuck it is here at all? What for? To frustrate? It is one of the most basic rules of gemedesign - WHAT THIS ELEMENT IS FOR?
From what I see, simple Rock-Paper-Scirsoss system would be more than enough for this game. Ok, if too simple, then 1>2>3>4>1 systemm but it would rise a question about 1&3, 2&4 interaction. And after that - introduce character skills of weapons which somewhat changes the usual Rock-Paper-Scirsoss order. Period. No body part focus, no wierd bleed mechanic, armor which resets and all that.
Say hello to Concord devs for me. It seems, they are your dear friends with all that "No-no-no, you're lying! It is not like we made shit, it is gamers who is guilty".

No, this is more a soulslike issue, it's not the devs fault you're shit at the game.

Obviously there no way we are going to pay someone to check the million words of the game in russian.
That being said we are making a tool in game that will allow people to help improve the translation in their native language. The machine translation is the baseline for it.
You're not too far off, we are using a paid ML service to do it... but ML is pretty shit, sadly, as most all AI services are at the moment.
The sad fact is we need to save up enough budget for translations, we are already over 1 million words which is more than Foundation... like, the ENTIRETY of Foundation. It could be tens of thousands at this point per language. We can only afford to do this at the end of the project when all the text is done and we can get quotes on translation services.
As Deck said, we are putting these in as a stop-gap, but encourage community translations if anyone wants to take it upon themselves and Deck has made some very robust tools so people can tackle it... but for now, we can't.
So now it is another excuse?
What does this have to do with soulslike games? Through bad gamedesign? Didn't play any soulslike, so I cant tell how good or bad are they. But It is hilarious to see how obvious shortcomings are attributed to some reasons unrelated to the game. Bad player, skill isues, etc. Whats next, bad weather maybe?
If I'm unable to press 5 keys simultaniously - is it enough reason to excuse any obvious design problems? What about 3 keys? Or 2? Does this brings any changes to coloring scheme where is no visible highlighting of interactive objects? Does it changes the fact the battle system is overcomplicated without any actual meaning behind it? If it does - ok then, fell free to think only problems with this game is that I'm unable to press 5 keys simultaniously and I can't distiquish one shade ob beige from 49 others.
The hoodlum who was sighted spreading yellow paint all over game worlds was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death in the PFF universe. As such, we have a cohesive world designed as if it is lived in and fairly realistic for the logic/setting.
We have word that his twin brother has been spotted in ubisoft titles though... so we keep a vigil and have orders to shoot on sight.
... also, hit left Alt, it highlights interactables :x
I'm not sure what the rock paper scissors example means exactly, do you mean we should have a like "High attack, low attack, medium attack" and the choice will auto-beat 1 of the 3 and negate for the 2nd or do half damage? Or certain characters just auto delete other characters based on their type?
As we are still working on the combat system and trying to figure out a happy area for it we are open to suggestions, but a bit more depth to this would help a lot?
Also... we have more players and a larger community than concord so, whatever.

It's an rpg, reading quest text is a requirement. It's been part of game design since the first rpg pixelled it's way into our lives.
It's not an excuse, it's a skill issue.
You can't do anything in a game unless it has a flashing neon sign pointing at it saying "pick this up". That's not a game design issue, that's you being shit at gaming. Not an excuse, a fact.

I played this game for a bit and I want to say that the game definitely lacks this guy, otherwise the game is so vanilla that it makes me want to puke. Not only can you not perform any bad actions, you can't even snap back at openly rude women, lol. By the way, animations generally look like in flash games of the 2000s. Zone-chan made better animations than you, 15 years ago, lol. The developers apparently haven't heard that you have to make quality content and then get money, and not the other way around, judging by what I read in their responses to my complaints about the translation, lol. The sex scenes and the plot seem to be okay, although I've already seen the plot twist with the demoness in another long-term project about NTR, I forgot what the game is called.

Well, nice. Had to disassemble my keyboard to find out my left alt was not touching contact groups(
Bu-u-ut, doors still don't highlights, which was the problem:

Characters can be one of 4 colors. Red has +20% DMG against Green and -20% DMG against Blue opponents. Also, Melee units are always follow a color pattern - Red have swords, blue have spears, green - axes or hammers.
Grey colored units do not have any DMG bonuses.
In your case it can be elemental alignment and racial bonuses - scaly ones is nature element group, 20% resistant to fire element units and take more damage from cold type units, while furry ones
All units can be divided not only by colour but by class/move type - Infantry(move 2 steps), Armored (1 step, but have gigher defence), Cavalry(3 steps), flying(2 steps + ignoring most obstacles), beast type(if not standing close to non-beast, then transforms - stats up, some change move type) If near non beast, reverts.
long range units is mages, healers, archers and daggers
Healers, archers and daggers are usually grey with no color bonuses. Archers deal massive damage to flyers. Daggers nave archer type attacks but without bonus damage against flyers, but put debufss on their targets.
Additionally some characters can have special weapons or skills wich change their norman color/class vulnerability and bonuses.
In PFF case it can be classes or factions.
Or - there is even simplier version of battle system - there is a game

(original one, from 2002)where each unit has element alignment and have bonuses accoringly to his element. Kust like colors in previous example, but there is more that 3 elements. No weapon type or move type dependancies, as far as I can remember.
Well, your characters have sex appeal, so PFF certainly will not follow concords fate.
