not great. so this game is from the start VERY unfair. you will at any time be fighting a varied mixture of 5 animals and people. and on the rare occasions you DO fight a solo enemy that enemy will be no less than 34 levels higher than you .ALCHEMIST OF WOE. who created this enemy? that is as far as I could get in this slogfest game. sucks that I paid for it because I was sure it would be awesome like the other 2 I paid for that were.

Ouch! Fair criticism I guess. First off - are you confusing protection with level? Anyway, yes, combat in this game requires more strategic thinking than the others. And because it’s less linear, it’s in some places difficult unless you gain some extra experience through the arena or a side quest. The Alchemist: You need to negate his shield.

It's fun, but I'm not sure I like the way the combat works. I should be able to use my healing items during combat, especially if "end turn" means I'll end up dying anyway. Gold is way to hard to come by, not to mention the scripted debt collector events. The starting stats are terrible and I was under the impression of being able to choose a class, but that's not true. I get that it's a strategy game, and I've tried different combat styles, but most enemies are near impossible to defeat.

You get to pick a class once you’ve completed the Pit quest. Combat becomes a lot more interesting then. As for the debt collectors- we’re aware that they’re not exactly enjoyable.

So frustrating and infuriating that it's not even fun to play. ALL of your gold gets stolen from you the moment you have enough to buy anything, opponents get more "turns" in battle and often fight 3-6 vs. player. Even after leveling up and clearing through several quests, I was still getting wiped out by enemies repeatedly. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the difficulty, which is a shame.
