Personally I think this game is too hard, even on casual mode. Now before you scream casual and git gud, hear me out.
This game is fucking brutal, I mean only a couple of healing liquid injections you find in the dungeons. The status effects are also just awful. Literally the mummification level is unplayable, all of my characters can't do anything expect struggle in fights now and I can't figure out if you can just leave the dungeon having not beat the boss or if I'm softlocked short of using the console cheats.
The enemies do tons of damage to you and often focus fire on one character, leaving them dead. And of course this game has no revival items so far.
Did anyone playtest this hellscrape of a game? After playing this, honestly even an RPG as hard as chrono trigger sounds like a relaxing vacation. And that's one of the hardest game I've played.
The thing that makes this game kinda bad in my opinion is the lack of fairness. This isn't a darksouls situation where you can say "it's hard but fair." Because literally everything is designed to kill you, dump status effects on you until you are just exhausted. For example, there's no campfires in this game, no you get healed at the start of the level and reset the whole damn thing and do it over and over again and again.
How on god's green earth is this mode called casual? At least don't lie to my face and call it "normal" instead. Because calling this mode casual is frankly just another spit in the face.
And yes I could cheat my way through this game, but then I wouldn't actually be playing, I'd just be winning.
P.S if there is a freaking way to leave the mummification level somehow, please tell me. Because I genuinely think I softlocked myself.
