hey two questions,
how long would you say the playthrough was and was the game difficult? i dont bother playing these games because i suck at them. ive played turn based stuff but it always becomes an issue for me later in game. thank you
Hi! So far from people who've beaten it they've shown that it could be done in 3-6 hours. This game is very friendly with items so please go to Tents with the Green Rabbit and buy Second Chances, as these are lives. In this game, you will find that you may die in 2-3 hits, as Printmaking Enemies are very strong and you are just Human, so having Friends and Second Chances is a must.
This game is also non-linear, so there's no natural progression of the game "getting harder" per se. You will not suck at the game! This game is very free form in its exploration so please feel free to walk around the print building as well, Rabbits and Shelves will give you money sometimes just for existing.
However, if you do want to start at an "easiest" place so that you slowly get stronger, I recommend starting at the Cyan Area located in the Second Floor Intaglio Studio of the building. Also please remember to use your Crafts. These are usually much better than just Attacking (Especially for Bad Girl).
I will probably make a small Tips and Tricks guide post later with images on when I am not as busy with other things. Thank you for asking this question.
In addition to CAM's response, I could write a strategy guide given my playtime with this game. If you're having trouble, here are a few tips:
- Collect ALL of your partners (the main four) before farming or gaining exp. They will all start at low levels, so it's best to gather them up immediately so they can all share it. They can all be found in the studio.
- You'll come across these blue fairy/sprites scattered amongst the studio and zones every now and then. When you speak to them, always ask them to upgrade your strength! Defense is not as good, health can be obtained another way.
- Farm and milk enemies as often as you can! It doesn't take very long (typically 5 minutes is enough) and it will ensure you're strong at all stages in the game.
- Cat Boots in the main shop at the start of the game gives you an extra turn! Costs 10k gold, works super well on characters with multi-hit moves like Bad Girl.
- There's a boss rush hidden somewhere in the game... if you're exploring each room, you'll find it. It's farmable and it drops a shit ton of "Extra Life" which you can use on a character to give them more maxHP.
- DON'T TALK TO THE CAT MORE THAN TWICE! OH DEAR GOD DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!
