The new enemies are harder in that they hit more often, do more damage and are good at keeping up with you running around the environment. I died many, many times to the new boss but was able to kill it a few times (once with no health ups) so it’s at least possible.
I actually like the challenge that the newer enemies bring, and I appreciate that the penalty for death is small; You can pick up on the series of fights were you left off instead of having to do the whole thing over again. You’ll have to redo boss fights each time you die though. Anyway, since the game is still labeled alpha I don’t really have high expectations for balanced difficulty just yet.
I can’t find a good weapon on any class to save my life.
I was focusing on using bows in the beginning (thanks to whoever removed ammo btw), but was stuck with the wooden bow until I reset my stats to better use the iron katars I found.. And then I found a bow from boars, and a better one in the dungeon :P For that reason, it would be nice if the shop lady updated her weapons selection with better options as the game progresses.
Boss tip: during the phase when it summons minions, if you use an go invisible they’ll disappear immediately, and you’ll have a short window of time to land a few extra hits before the boss summons new ones.
