Default is super easy. So I'll definitely change to hard or expert. The game gives gives you a lot along with the Tweaker so I find it really weird the game doesn't give you a reason to use all at your disposal since the game is originally so freaking easy.
I think I've been grinding a lot, actually. Like I said, i'm 10ish hours in and I haven't unlocked the 'kingdom building' part yet.
I was dying here and there at first while I mastered the controls, and I think i'm now at a point where I may have overlevelled a little bit, haven't died in a bit.
The best part about playing on Expert- many fights, the Higgledies actually matter. I've had to roll across the screen to get healed multiple times, narrowly avoiding death. I find I have to actually pay attention to what's happening on the battlefield
I honestly feel like the combat in this game, on expert, is better than most action RPGs. It really must be much worse on the default
I can see that through, if the stakes are low shit can get boring quick
