The difficulty of Raid was just fine.
I think a notification about using the grappling hook to get to the 2nd tower would have been sufficient.

On the last mission, I cleared three rooms and died in the fourth and had to start the level over again. I'm not the first person to say this; making players repeat parts of the game they already beat is not making it more challenging, it is just bad game design.

Otherwise, I love the game!

I second this, and if it's possible to third it, I'd do that too.

Isn´t it normal for a boss level to be a little bit hard?
The countdown mechanic is necessary for the sad ending.
And people actually managed to finish this level both ways so you should be able to as well.

So I've been experimenting with Sword Throw and still haven't found a place for it. If you don't get recall, its almost impossible to pick the sword up in mid-combat unless you immediately burn a bubble for Hologram.

Has anyone found an effective method to manually pick up a thrown sword without waiting 2+ turns to grab it?

[teedoubleu]

Sword throw without upgrades is very situational so don't use it whenever its available. Picking it up grants 2 combo points so if you manage to keep the combo after throwing it by stunning enemies you can still pick it up under fire and get a limit break to save you.

That's a good point about using a limit break, however I've never had a situation where I'm at +3 combo after throwing the sword while being able to move to it in time.
Was it impossible to code the sword being picked up for free or did you feel it was too powerful?

Perhaps the empty skillpoint between Sword Throw and Sword Recall might be a nice spot for a skill that awards the player an instant Limit Break for manually picking up the sword?

No, you're missing the point. A challenge is fine, but forcing the player to redo a section of the level that he/she has completed with ease multiple times isn't a challenge, it's tedious, and quite frankly lazy game design. . The game is riddled with badly placed checkpoints and it needs to be addressed.

Practically nothing of importance, sections of the game still remain difficult because of design decision that haven't quite worked out the way they were intended. Although, I don't understand what "Neurotoxin cannot be ghosted anymore" means.

No offense but, I wrote that post before the OP was updated, also your answer is full of subjective opinions instead of actual notes of what was added. :)

No offense but why don't you take your passive aggressive approach to responding to someone and your smiley faces and stick them up your arse. Of course my answer is full of subjectivity, that's all you're ever going to get from another human being. Grow the ♥♥♥♥ up and stop picking fights.

This went from update logs to trolls feeding trolls. If you let people comment on the Internet, they always want to shove things up your ass.

Isn't this an act of trolling in and of itself? It most likely is. How about we all stop bickering like a gaggle of school girls and get back to providing feedback to the devs.

Thanks to the last update, I finally can at least launch the game. But problem isn't solved to the end - fatal error becuse of out of memory still exists, I meet it at the second preparing phase of hunt for Wisegal. Level is practically unplayable - it too often crashes at loading.
