this game is very cute, i’ve enjoyed playing it. here’s my issue. healing mechanics are absolutely terrible. you can get demons that are supposed to help that issue, they don’t do anything. you get no chances to heal before a big fight. bosses often disappear halfway through the fight and throw three waves of enemies at you, barely giving you the chance to actually fight them. it’s hard to enjoy the game when the fighting mechanics bring you to the brink of insanity. i want to fully enjoy this game, i really do. there’s a lot of gameplay issues that make this game more stressful than anything. if you’re up for a hair-tearingly infuriating game, this is for you. i don’t mean this as a fully negative review, everything else about the game is great. however, the battle mechanics are terrible and that’s 75% of the entire gameplay.
edit: not fun. the game claims that you can fight midas to get back your coins. he took 4,000 from me & i was completely unable to get it back because he would disappear before i had the chance to fight back. it’s not fair to force your players to have a harder experience just because they know what they’re doing. i restarted the game five times to avoid midas. i chose the routes that would avoid fighting, and they wouldn’t even let me take the routes THEY OFFERED because it wasn’t hard enough. this game is attempting to fit the genre of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, but they simply don’t. this game is unfair. you cannot force your players to suffer. as a player, i’m tired of avoiding the negatives and being forced to face them anyways because the game makers want you to have a hard time. just make your game better.
second edit: y’all added an impossible enemy in the update. i appreciate the change in the health mechanics, but for god’s sake. fix your game.
