I like this game, especially given that's been made by one man only and uses a lot of the Flare stuff which I also like. Having spent the last few months playing it occasionally I've now gotten to the point of giving it up. It doesn't work out. Either I still completely lack the understanding of how the game works or it's just off-balance. In short, the game is much too difficult, even on the easiest setting. Even after grinding for weeks (and I'm no stranger to to long grinding sessions) I couldn't get anywhere. The balance is completely off, your health does regenerate in time but only a small fraction of it and most enemies do much more damage than that. So you need to drink health potions, lot and lots of them, all the time. But there's a waiting interval between drinking two potions and in most cases that's enough for an enemy to get you. I've resorted to editing the savefiles to gain hundreds of large healing potions and have to repeat this regularly, but it's not enough. At level 24 you'd expect to be able to handle two level 9 or a level 12 enemy, but I'm lucky if I survive a level 7 one and it's mostly a close call. I tried with several different characters and skillsets but it doesn't make much difference. So either I've stumbled onto a bug (wouldn't be the first one), or the game simply doesn't work with me.
