According to the achievements there should be an Expert difficulty that is unlocked at some point.
Well, on PC game donāt work with a stick (DInput device) properly for some reason. But works nice with XB360 gamepad.
Yeah I tried to play it with my Saturn USB pad, it detected the buttons but couldnāt even move through menus.
I got to world 3. Game starts becoming pretty hard after the 1st world. Fuck that dragon, those jumping flames and the clouds going backwards.
This game is amazing. It pulled me off Mahvel for an evening so thatās saying something. Didnāt see it mentioned but when you parry you gain super meter, and an NPC on the second island says something about getting multiple parries in a row. I canāt wait to see this on AGDQ.
Itās perfect. The difficulty is good enough so that it ramps up evenly but is never impossible nor anything of the like.
Though I donāt know if itās because im really tired or what but honey herald is kicking my ass. I cannot beat this fucking things last form. Maybe itās the randomized platforms that make dodging the fists and the razor such a pain but this is the only boss where iāve felt like sometimes its unavoidable to get hit.
Game is fun and looks great. Iām at that flying boss that turns into a moon.
the original ones via adapter?
had the same issue but i think you can solve it with x360ce
edit: it worked once but for whatever reason it enabled the p2 dude ingame on the map too
and now it doesnt work at all anymoreā¦strange things going on with itā¦
but before you use it go to the input settings of the game and see if you can assign the buttons even without x360ce.
it can be that it rec your pad but doesnt has the buttons assigned.
dont forget that you have to go to the store to unlock other abilitys! on the first island its the little cart at the beginning.
Came to SRK to specifically ask about this game. It looks pretty awesome.
Should I purchase?
If you like classic co-op living room style games like Contra this is for you.
Speaking of co-op does anyone know if the damage scales if you are playing with 2 players? If it doesnāt that would make bosses dumb easy
The invincible dash is the best Iāve seen so far.
Absolutely, thereās really nothing else like this. You can really tell this game was a labor of love from the team that made it. The game will bust your balls and youāll relish every second of it. Yesterday I quit playing for the night three timesā¦
Honestly it seems like certain abilities/weapons are tailored for certain bosses. The weapon that fires behind you made the Dragon boss so much easier, the instant parry makes the Sailor boss more manageable.
Assign buttons not solve the problem. Game for some reason not detect āinteractā button press. So you canāt enter the location or speak with NPC.
You could always just try Joy2Key or Xpadder.
I donāt like idea ājust add another software layer for controlā (Xpadder etc) with XInput controller game works fine with DInput not. Waiting for patch maybe devs solve this problem maybe not.
yeah, saturn pads got layed back in the basket.
using the sfpad nowā¦not a fan of its dpad but better than to play with a hitbox style āstickā:
based on my performanceā¦i get my money out of the hours played when i manage to finish it 
i die way to many times because i watch the animations of the bosses and get caught by shit XD
I have the original USB version sold by SLS.
I didnāt want to use x360ce but at this point I might as well.
100% yes. Unless youāre a pussy
In my experience, homing shot + invincible dash are good for pretty much every single boss. The only reason why you might want to avoid homing shot is if youāre trying to go for some time record.
btw did you realize how many 3rd Strike references are there in the game? Not only thereās a parry, but you have EX moves, you can choose between up to 3 different Super Arts to use on full meter and the some bosses like the frogs use Ryu & Ken taunts from that game.
Homing shot can get you in trouble against the dragons three headed form. The orbs burst when you shoot them which can make things really cluster fucky. I found it easier to immediately super art when the third form begins then pea shooter him down in burst while avoiding the middle.
ok yeah this game is just as amazing as I was expecting. The look is absolutely spot-on for the 1930s style of cartoonsā¦but we all saw that anyway with the videos and pictures. The bonus is that itās fun to play, and so far the deaths donāt feel like ācheap bullshitā. Iām loving every moment of this game so far though Iām just scratching the surface. Iāve only beat 1 boss so far āGoopyāā¦ I bought the extra heart right away, and something elseābut I want the invincible dash next for sure.
more than 1 boss, actuallyā¦haha I forgot about āThe Root Gangā for some reasonā¦that fight was surprisingly easy. Goopy was definitely tougher than thatā¦ first time I beat Goopy, his tombstone was about to do that downward smash move and I only had 1 HP left but shot him firstā¦so it was straight luck that he happened to be 1 hit away from death too.
*damnnnn so close to what was possibly an S-rankā¦ (yep trying to get that achievement early)ā¦ everything was perfect when I replayed the first stage just now but I got hit 2 timesā¦ only an A- rank.
