do 1 or 2 hits and get out. Repeat.Is there anything to do in town as-of yet? I got as far as the second boss and got filtered, lol.
I'm going into the fight with enough MP to cast the fire spell twice, and that seems to be the only thing I can do that actually hurts him. Taps from the regular attacks do functionally nothing, and the heavy third hit seems impossible to land.
Once he goes into his barrel phase, you can counter that windup on his big spin move, but the timing is fucked. (it's fucked for the shield guys too) and if you miss, you lose 2/3rds of your lifebar in one go.
I actually like the counter-attack mechanic, but your counter-window needs to be wider if it's gonna let the boss basically oneshot you if you get it wrong.
It's neat that this boss has a grab attack though. Makes him stand out from the goons.
All-in-all, game is neat.
Edit: Counter mechanic (from my google translate of the tutorial image) seems to be "Hit them with the E attack when their icon is red." but sometimes you just go flying past them and take a bunch of damage, so... it doesn't really seem worth it?
Barrel phase is important, if you're already too far to do a grab, run away and jump to dodge it. Might get hit, but still dodgeable.
It's pretty much 3 grabs + hits in between. Game is doable since you don't have to play from the beginning like 90s games.
