Like, you might find a desecrated altar or something, and if you just click on it then you get loot or it might curse you instead (will randomly be one or the other), ORRRR you could use holy water on it and it always gives a positive benefit. I think the tutorial explains this concept, but not what the actual combinations are. One of the things not told to you is that certain random objects in the world need certain supply items. The easy-tier missions are nearly impossible to fail, because I think the devs expect that new players may occasionally screw up basic stuff like party composition or buying enough supplies, so the difference between your party's HP/damage isn't that different from the enemy's HP/damage. Managed to escape the combat with just a sliver of health left on all four The tutorial explains just about every single mechanic, and then it's up to you to look at the various character classes and combine their skills and positioning as you see fit. Like most I guess I took out Wilbur first and enraged the great pig. (I almost did have a full party wipe against the Swine Prince.

I might lose patience with it - but for now I'm still hooked. The progression structure in this game might not be for me. I assume you're supposed to forge ahead with inferior skills and equipment and have it be a grand event when finally you get to unlock lvl 2 weapons and armour for your lvl 4 dudes, but that's not how I play games. It takes a lot of grinding out portraits and deeds to level up the smithy and the guild to keep your dudes equipped with their level-appropriate weapons and skills, which is fine, but by the time you've gotten the smithy and guild up, your dudes are already past that level. There's something off about the progression in this game. But looking ahead I can see that about half my roster is level 3 and I'll run out of level 2 dudes long before I've gone through all the eight green bosses! Or even just half of them! I think by the time I've put the Wizened Hag in the ground, I'll have run out of level 2 dudes who will deign to go after mere green bosses! It'll be beneath them all!

Normally this wouldn't worry me, since I tend to be patient and play games, especially 'difficult' games, cautiously.

I've killed two bosses so far, and have so far only put a single adventurer in the ground (due to a stupid mistake really early on).
