South Park RPG

[Gamerforlife]

Combat system in this game is awful. Unlike the Mario rpgs this game emulates, enemies don't telegraph their attacks, which makes succesful blocks a crap shoot. On top of that, enemies attack multiple times in succession. So even if you get lucky and block one attack, you might get hit by the next two or three and take tons of damage

How can you fuck up Mario rpg combat? Seriously, it's the most simple rpg combat system there is

Having played Mario & Luigi Dream Team not long ago, this feels awful by comparison

They telegraph plenty. Hell, there's even a circle that appears on your character when you're supposed to block. I'm not sure how much more you need.

So I just started the 3rd day and the game is just so easy because of the blocking / critical hit system. I am playing on hardcore and have only died twice (against the same boss).

Anyone else find the game way too easy?

EDIT:

I agree, as I said above, they over telegraph.

When I discovered how effective the periodic damage debuffs were the game became much easier. I'd customize my ranged weapon to leave my targets with a burn and several bleeds and even bosses would be dead in a few turns.

Do you guys consider the game too easy? I'm not really interested in spending sixty bucks on a game that I'll just breeze through without any kind of challenge at all.

Yeah, bleeding is brutal. I would slow enemies down with modded weapons, then X4 bleed, then because they were slow I could do it again, I had most the board 2 or 3X bleeding by the end of the first turn, then you pair it with butters ability to heal and attack in the same turn and you can't really lose.

Retrogamer0001 I guess it depends how often you play RPG's I find it pretty easy on the hardest difficulty, but most of the games charm and enjoyability is outside the battles. It is a huge love letter to South Park fans.

You will not be playing this for the challenge. You will play it for the Southpark humor. It is a basic RPG with standard quests. The Southpark theme of it is worth the 60 bucks.

Well, I got inspired because of it and used some trade and spendable money and bought all 16 seasons to watch LOL. Most were used and rather cheap so it did not set me back too far. I also unloaded some Pokemon VHS tapes towards it!!

I think I'll wait for this one to drop in price then, as much as I love SP.

Just gameshare it. You'll get to play it for $10. That's what I did.

There are two types of games I like to play. One type where I play for the challenge and one type where I play purely for the fun. Stick of Truth falls into the latter category. I wouldn't say it's offensively easy and it's just an absolute blast to play. So many cool references to old episodes and hilarious gags. Plus I needed an RPG-lite game that I know I will end up completing. I don't have the patience for hardcore RPGs anymore.
