I really tried to give this game a chance, but between the really casual combat to the insane balance decisions I couldn't really get into it. The game tells you to roam but many of the random encounters or map markers you stumble across are really difficult with no gear, which means you will struggle with money, struggle with upgrading and keep struggling with the enemies. Before I gave up on the game I cheat-engined myself all the money and bought all the upgrades I could find but still enemies weren't per se difficult but needlessly tanky and just annoying. The campy writing is a plus for me but not everyone's cup of tea. But it doesn't save the game I don't think.
