...haven't you ever heard the expression
I suppose I came a bit wrong in the message. What I meant is the clunky and floaty controls - this game is somehow more clunky than a 3 decade old game, that's what I meant. The gameplay is what I expect to at least be good enough, not the difficulty.
This is my original complaint btw
Shame you don't find Strider 2 memorable, I think it's the best in the series, art style and gameplay wise.
Open and attack immediately. You could probably jump away after a hit or two, but taking it down with successive hits should be doable.
Nvm I got the cheese strategy - hold the special attack key right after pressing a key to open the mimic. If you've unlocked most, if not every single skill (which I guess is expected if you're in epilogue 1), you'll kill the mimic without it touching you - as you cast special and get i-frames, mimic will grab you and fail, in which special attack would start and kill the mimic. Wait for magic cooldown, then do the same for the next one.
That's weird, I don't remember mimics giving me that much trouble. I was always able to tap my way out of the grab (to be fair I had a 2nd wireless keyboard plugged in and laying by my side, whenever I got grabbed I'd spam left-right on both keyboards at the same time)
I'm using an Xbox controller, so it's pretty hard to break free from grabs with tricks like you said (even worse since this game can only handle either mapping to the stick or the d-pad. Not both. And the mere idea of a QTE where I have to break the stick just to break free is unacceptable).
Maybe the very first post in this thread is hiding the answer to your question.
FYI - I subsequently found that I had issues using a game controller. Updating the Wine version to lutris-GE-Proton7-5-x86_64 solved that issue. Game now runs fantastically in all respects.
you don't miss much, most scenes are with the main girl. the pix has maybe 1-2 scenes (greatest shame), game isn't bad but there just isn't enough sex options :/
