Trying to like this...So, I am a fan of Shin Megami. I like the ideas of this game, but there are alot of things pissing me off.
First off, it seems to be impossible to fight more than ONE mob at a time (all attempts to do so have killed me) which would not be a problem, except that mobs NEVER spawn alone. Which still would not be a problem if there was some way of drawing a single one away, or having an idea which mobs are gonna attack. I cannot count the times I stood in a group of five enemies with none of them doing anything, until I start a fight with one, then another will attack. Every single time I have been fighting something, if anything else attacks I die. Death by RNG is fail in my book.
Second off, making neccessities AP items. I understand the need to make money, I would even pay monthly, but choosing to use a 'pay for extras' policy is ok, if they truly are extras. You pretty near need at least one demon depository, and that is a monthly fee. OK, I can deal with that, but it seems that to travel quickly your only option is AP items, same as erasing skills or, and this is the worst, actually repairing your items.
And this is what has been getting to me today; random demon blocking. Maybe there is a mechanic I am missing here, but I hit a demon that should be vulnerable, and he simply 'blocks' it, sometimes up to three times in a row. Maybe they can do more, but I have always been hit/killed before I could try. And I know they should be vulnerable as it has happened when they are charging a rush or after I guard.
I am gonna try a little more, I really want to like this game, but I have a feeling that for all the potential, this title is a flop.
Edit- And brain dead demons. The only time my 'helper' attacks is when I am talking to a demon. The only time he heals is after combat.
