Too hard for friends

[speedy]

This game desperately needs per-player easier difficulty modifiers. Playing with 4 friends is great but it sucks when they all quickly die and I’m the last one standing; they don’t really get to play. I don’t want it to be easier for me, but I want them to actually be able to play.

not to be a ♥♥♥♥ but sounds like they need to practice more this game is beyond easy to play

It doesn't need to be so hard. I'm here to have fun, not do chores. I can't ask my friends to play hours of a game on their own just to let them play with me. They like the game, it's just barely too much for them.

hours of gameplay? you can easily win the whole game with barely 2 hours of gameplay

Personally i don't see this game as very difficult, but i agree on maybe having some more customization for more accessability.
Maybe give each player their own difficulty slider for different things such as damage dealt, damage taken, extra lives and other stuff.

“Easily”

The whole point of this post is that it is not easy.

hi all,

we don't have any plans at the moment for individual customization when it comes to making the game easier but we will be chatting about options for cases like this after we launch 1.0. thanks for the feedback and suggestion!

kinda sounds like skill issue

I feel like it's kind of tricky because the things that really add to the difficulty are the move speed and attack speed and theres no way for that not to be global. It's just kind of the unfortunate reality of being better than your friends at games. I've run into similar issues in other games with people that are much more casual. Either it's a complete cake walk for me and I'm basically just babysitting them so we can chat or it's a solid challenge for me and they spend 99% of the time dead on the floor. In this game even if you just ramp up the damage so it oneshots you without changing anything else, it's likely to still feel pretty boring for an experienced player.

Currently, this game is way too easy even on the highest difficulty.
Thank goodness there are difficulty modifiers, otherwise the game would be unplayable.

I look forward to seeing how the devs will overhaul the difficulty modifiers in 1.0, hopefully they will provide a proper difficult challenge.

If you are looking for game you just have to launch to win it. I would suggest the multitude of idle games available on steam. Their are also some mmos out there that have an "Auto-play" button.

If you are asking the devs to make this game faceroll easy? Well sorry to break it to you but it already is on the default difficulty. If you and your friends can't win the base difficulty just hang it up. It's not a game design issue, it's a player skill issue.

quick update!

now that 1.0 is out, including the new difficulty modifier system, we're going to be looking at ways to balance out the option for making the game more accessible for those that are interested. we have a few ideas we're going to explore.
