Thanks for playing.
The relics & difficulty curve is quite smooth that player should feel good, and beat the easily.
Have you beat the game? and which class do you like?
Yes, I beat it the first playthrough. The only class I played was Samurai, which was fine although the Samurai-only relic I saw seemed pretty bad since it requires you to take damage and I don't think I took any damage in combat after the first half of the first level, and the other one which boosts swords if you only have swords is too much work for a measly one-time +1. I like the combo bonus for the samurai and it isn't too OP since the full-board bonus is even better and has relic support.
