"It did feel like a loss was always going to happen despite what parts you did sometimes saved."
Hmm, what made it feel like that?
The game is pretty much always beatable. Apart from maybe 1 in 10 runs when you get really unlucky parts.
It might have been a string of unlucky parts and going into a direct counter (RNG is still RNG). BUT... I don't think that's bad. Sometimes RNG does not go in your favor.
I actually could see having "1 reroll" of your parts in the play through but that's just a minor nitpick. Keep in mind... I did have a lot of fun playing. Played it longer than others :)
