When you bring up the stupid aspects of a game like this a common retort is to bring up the genre. I agree with you. There is only a subset of creatures who aren’t bothered by how easy and boring this game is, and they invoke the genre as a defense. Well, this is why the genre as a whole is niche. It’s built on a stupid premise not enough people question, but many avoid. Difficulty is certainly one of the fundamental issues, but I think the problem goes deeper. The combat, while it can be satisfying, is too simple. It’s literally not much removed from the earliest rudiments of gaming. If you’re a reader give this a look. I’m in the mood for wasting time on something more fun.
