BURNINGTYGER'S PROFILE

author=BurningTyger
*Skims* i guess i should play this once you fix things. . anyway, re: items one idea is making certain the late-game damage from high-level enemies stays high enough that you have to burn through whatever stash you have just to keep your head above water. If the foes are brutal enough extra items will only stave off destruction by a few minutes more... because the idea of survival-horror is struggling to stay alive.

Like I say in the review, the difficulty of the battles themselves isn't the problem. The battles - when taken individually - are very well balanced. There is only so much damage that battles can deal out before they become too difficult and therefore problematic themselves.

The problem isn't in-battle. The problem is a range of out-of-battle factors that come together to make healing between battles far too easy, negating a lot of the systems that are set-up to make picking your battles an important feature of the game.
