The game is indeed easier than it used to be (mainly because of the power of Attack stacking, which has already been addressed), but I feel like save scumming for ideal skills combos every time and then having an easy time is expected? In fact, if you needed to do that, and if the game was super hard even with minmaxed skills, then the difficulty would be overtuned.

I agree with you but this isn't exactly a scummy strategy. Skills aren't very necessary as the main dps here is just the crossbow girl. I immediately had the idea of just giving her more damage due to her crit ability the second I picked the game up. Though, I do agree with you that it's to be expected. The only fact that bothers me is that you genuinely don't NEED to grind to finish the game, which demotivates me to continue. I believe once the game nears it's finish, difficulty settings should be added - so that you don't need to go intentionally bad builds to experience challenge.

Sorry had to edit this cuz I didn't read a part of your comment due to tiredness. Save scumming should be expected to give you an advantage, I just meant to say that you no longer need to attempt anything close to that due to the decrease in difficulty.

I agree that I'm rambling now, I really do enjoy the game and am a huge fan, I was just surprised on how much easier it was to finish the game. I wanted to join and grind for the new stuff but accidentally finished the game LOL

Not needing to grind to finish the game is pretty typical for the genre, as long as you know what you are doing. I do agree that once the development nears its end, some form of ascension system for stacking difficulty modifiers would be neat, though.

And regardless, people continue to complain about the difficulty to this day despite everything, so raising it would probably just fill the thread with incessant whining.

Fun game though, I agree.

Oh, and I'm not sure if this is intended but I abused leaving the game after entering the arena to reroll my skills, or rerolling the path if it looked like it didn't give a chest or the merchant. I initially came to abuse that during the early versions due to the importance of having a good combination on skills lol. I don't remember too well but I think I used to do that for the 2nd area too? Just to create a good path for me to advance.
Stop save scumming for skills and you'll have plenty of challenge! I don't play that way, I have lots of fun, it's that simple. Like what, do you want me to add a system that saves your skill rolls until you hit a game over or victory screen? Come on, man, lol. Resist the temptation to reroll the map and skill RNG, that's the most boring way to play.

In general regards to the difficulty, I agree with you. I do plan on cranking up the difficulty in the future, it's a bit of a teeter-totter act and right now its tipped heavily in the player's favor, but eventually it'll tip back. I've also got plans for nerfing the boss stun strategies and some other stuff, as well as plans for future harder levels. I don't know if I want "difficulty settings" I feel like i'd rather at least TRY to design ways to counter the players' best strategies.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ok, after a bit more testing. I was wrong. I found out during testing why I never got it to repeat. There are 2 different sprites for it, somehow I never noticed it till recently. I've not been able to see the other 3 scenes, are the enemies in practice/arena mode?

Just contantly get defeated and never win, even read the one dudes guide and tried to follow it... yeah.... great game.
Thanks! Don't give up, it's hard but if you're used to strategy games you can figure it out i promise. The game was 10x harder when that guide was written too, if you need more updated tips, join the discord server and we can help teach you how to get better.

I know for many untold reasons why it wasn't included but..... LET THE DAWG BE DOIN THE DOG DOIN (bestiality tag), the game is getting refined more and more but it stings me that the combat sex doesn't somewhat portray accurately the assaulter when assaulting one of the three. Also, i assure you, in another username, i am increasing yer material wealth

Thanks, glad you like the art! (I drew it)
Join the discord and shoot a message in the #strategy or #help channel and I can help you play better after i wake up. My guess is you just have a knowledge gap somewhere holding you back, even then, there are so many unlockable skills/spells that make the game a piece of cake.
Also check out the wiki and you can learn the enemy behavior if you don't have them in your demonicon.

Torn between my frustration whenever I spend half an hour not getting anywhere and my respect for the dev making the game he wants. I used to find myself on the side against easy modes, but I guess I'm a dimwitted gooner first when I chase fresh and tit(t)illating nudity.
Lovely and unique art, in my heart I know I'm wrong and need to treat it as the game it is rather than a convenient framework for porn.
