Man I tried this game, I really tried. I played it for maybe 10-15 hours. The card game is legitimately so fuckin hard. It's hugely luck dependent, and you can only lose out on a couple exchanges per duel before it's gg. I've tried all kinds of strategies and none of them are any more successful than another. This isn't dark souls, it's a porn game, why are we trying to make this rival a metroidvania in difficulty? For what? And what is even the point of leveling up if the random money dates scale up with you anyways? You never catch up to them, never get stronger in any way.
Hey, thanks for your feedback and totally understand your issues. May I ask what version you're playing on because the SMS dates don't scale with you anymore, ever since 0.09, we've overhauled that system so that you can choose easier dates if you hit a so called roadblock in difficulty. That way you can still feel a sense of growth and success without being locked into battling the 'too hard' dates.
