This gets better as you go on. The first areas in the game are indeed like this, but after a while it is clear that the dev got better and better with his design.Geez I want to like this so much but its just room after room of waves upon waves of enemies that are all damage sponges. You could get the same effect with half the rooms and half the enemies.
Mm. The first bit is... kind of an extended tutorial area on the basic combat mechanics of "eaten/raped vs not" and when it's better to fight your way out of a hold vs just kill the bastard. The rest of the game gets significantly better with choices and skills and whatnot.This gets better as you go on.

Yeah I get this feeling lol. I think the dev caught on since several of the most recent areas have no combat and instead have some sort of minigame (desert battle with army management, medusakin village, goldman base, that slime section, etc.).One thing that does NOT get better though is how most enemies ARE damage sponges. MOST enemies in the entire have too much HP. The game is very strategic, but most battles take too long because of this. And it doesn't help that enemies move too fast in the field, making it impossible to avoid battles sometimes. Plus, traps. THE GAME IS PACKED with traps that trigger mini-boss battles. I don't feel like exploring the dungeons in this game because of how boring it becomes after a while. Not hard, just boring. My brain starts leaking out of my ears after a while and I just run through.
Not even Phantasy Star 2 was THIS cruel.
Don't get me wrong, the game IS fun and gets better the more you play it. But it IS frustrating and wastes our time too much. Halfway through the game I was tired of it and cheated. And even then the combat was still taking too long! I prefer the combat-less areas in this game, to be honest.
Honestly? At that point in the game I decided to cheat.well i can't get past the prison keep getimg fucked in tp a sand statue
This game is hard and frustrating. but I don't think it's shit. I love it, actually, even if it makes me angry nwdays (then again, this is my second time playing it).i am about to say fuck this stuped shit game.
