Is this game any good?
It is to begin with, then the game takes a nose dive into artificial difficulty riding on the back of a rat ogre called RNG
Yeah, people cry out RNG and shit but almost all of my deaths have been a result of my own carelessness, I didn't have the right team, I didn't heal the right guy, I didn't break the right items etc. etc.
You also can't lose the game as a whole so there's no rush to do more difficult levels.
The real kicker is that the game wants be tough and risky, but makes recovery from failure extremely tedious. The zones have lavel restrictions on them so you can't bring high level characters in to lower. So if you ever lose a character and need to make a fresh one, you'll need to make a whole new party to accompany them

I don't see what's wrong with having to have multiple teams, the game lets you have up to like 28 guys, why would you expect to win with just 4?

I love having multiple teams, but it's frustrating getting people together at the appropriate level. I understand the value of having risk and punishment, but this particular strain makes for excessive tedium. It ends up driving you to repeat the earlier areas much more often which makes me wish those zones had more variety in them.
It's fun for a few hours, then you've seen all it has to offer and have figured out how to optimize your teams so the difficulty - which is it's driving feature - disappears.
I'd say yes. The art is great, the narration is great. There's a lot of RNG involved, but you can mitigate it and improve your chances with preparation. Toward the end, especially the final dungeon turns into a gindfest for no real reason, but I enjoyed the game for what it is.

yeah its worth about ten bucks
anything more than that is overpriced

What he meant is, the only punishement you get from losing a character is more grinding.
And the game is grindy enough.

Nice acting

That's exactly why they added the experienced recruits upgrade to the stagecoach.
You can get recruits who have gear and skills as leveled to the max as appropriate to their level. e.g. You can replace your lvl 3 MaA with a recruit lvl 3 MaA with lvl 3 armor, lvl 3 weapons etc.
>>342018528
Yes this was very useful and a most needed update.
Still quite a blow when you lose a champion, but well.
>>342017868
>You'll never be this guy
It's fun but if you want to make decent progress you need a lot of time and grinding.
There's always this bunch of people who screams gitgud and how RNG is irrelevant but the fact is if you start this game up RNG will fuck you up the ass because you have no ways to mitigate/lessen the impact of RNG because you have to spend an insane amount of money.

quit gettin' mad at video games
>>342013585
Nope. Literally no skill, strategy, tacktics or whatever involved. It's 100% pure RNG.

The best part about this video is that if he wasn't so overly concerned with trying to heal, he could've killed the Necro, walked away, and been fine. Good example of people who fuck themselves then blame RNG
>>342019486
b-b-but this game takes literally no skill, strategy, tactics or whatever, it's 100% pure unfiltered RNG straight from Colombia.

ironic shiposting is still shitposting
I'm a single mother of two girl gamer and I work two jobs to support my family.
I love these kinds of games and I'd love to cosplay as some of the characters but I simply don't have enough free time to wrestle with the artificial difficulty.
If they could include a "story" difficulty setting it would be ideal since you'd still have your normal difficulty but it would allow people like me to enjoy the full content of the game as well.

The funny part is that even if he got the last hit, the skeletons would still own him.
I once took a BANG from the cannon but killed him immediately after, only get my whole party instawipped by the torchguy.

Wait don't the skeletons die if you kill the Necro?
I know the cannon guard don't but it wouldn't make sense if they did.

Pretty good, although grindy.
Just glad it's complete now so I won't have to start over halfway through.

>not hellion
No.
no
it is very RNG heavy to the point that your every step is a roll of the dice with stress
by the time you learn how to mitigate each area's general bullshit you'll be deep into the grind of farming filler missions so you can make an attempt on a boss where your party gets wiped to crits so you have to go back to grinding filler missions etc.
No, as anons have said there is a good game in there somewhere, but as it is the mechanics are fucked. It's not even the RNG, it's that if your team die in a high level dungeon you actually need to grind some new guys from level 1, which is extremely time consuming and tedious.
