apparently my last comment got deleted, so this time i'm gonna be very thorough when i explain why Classic Unfair is unplayable garbage that needs a nerf
Slice & Dice's mobs are designed with very specific weaknesses you have to learn to exploit; bandits run away if you do 2 or more overkill damage to an enemy, goblins flee when alone, wizzes are stunned when taking 2 damage, cyclops are stunned when taking half HP, illusions have 1 hp, etc.
it's very tightly balanced, which is important to point out because the amount of debuffs you have to contend with in unfair completely break most of these weaknesses and cause the enemies' win conditions to be so easy to achieve that you are 99% bound to die either early or late in the run when it's the most dangerous. graves or slates with shield response (hope you have trapper!), illusions with undying monsters, garbage like sandstorm, stone monsters getting rid of bandit's only solid kill con and making barrels completely useless on top of the already huge buff, any summon monster with row +1, etc. until any one combination of monsters has a very significant chance of wiping you past level 8
you can play immaculately, get combos like bash with stalwart and self-shielding items, and it'll still be completely out of your control at some point or another; it's unfun and unbearably obnoxious. i'm sure there's some absurdly specific setup or insanely lucky combination of items and heroes that can win the game, but the other 99.9% of playthroughs it's shit and the mode needs a retooling in general; some sort of set of "unfair curses" specific to the mode would probably go a long ways in making the mode more fun

great game except for unfair, which sucks complete cock and is completely RNG-dependent; average run has you getting washed before level 10 and even with a crazy good build and items you're 99% going to get trashed on round ~15 by some arbitrary bullshit like a 7-mob fight that has 2 alphas w/ stone health and monster HP+++.
everything else is awesome but unfair needs a nerf; and no, it doesn't matter if the point is that it's supposed to be like that, because the way it is isn't fun.
