Is there a way to avoid combat?

[Furukawa 🐱]

I've only played 2.7 hours, but I'm really not interested in the combat. Is there any way to avoid the combat, even through modifying files? I've tried that approach, but not sure how to read the .kel files. if there is no way, then I'm probably going to refund the game. I just want the story unbothered by combat

I don't know what you expected assuming you read the store page before buying, but yes, an rpg has a lot of battles and it'll be hard avoiding that. I suggest watching a playthrough instead so you can skip them.

the fights really aren't difficult tho, i beat all the bosses on my first shot, I get though if its just that rpg battles are repetitive though any rpg is gonna have it

You can't avoid combat. I love the bosses in this game, they are really cool and one of the main reasons I loved this game (with the story and the music of course)

Also, you see the enemies on the maps so you can avoid everything except bossfights (there are a lot and some are played when you're talking to someone / doing something random). But you will clearly be underleveled if you're avoiding everything.

I'd say give it another try, this game clearly made peace with my somewhat hate for turn based battle.

I feel the same way. I found the combat very tedious and repetitive, especially in the later parts of the game. I had to quit 18 hrs in before uninstalling and spoiling the game on youtube. I found the later fights to be these frustrating commercial breaks standing in front of the story i was desperately trying to finish. Despite all of this, Omori is my favorite game of 2020 by far, which is why the lack of difficulty options saddens me. I hate my self for giving up, but the combat was truly infuriating.

The combat of this game is very basic and rather underwhelming imo. I really dislike JRPG turn-based combat overall, but with that said, the presentation is still really nice. The big colourful well drawn sprites and even the dialogue you get in some boss fights, so at least they have that going on.

I think it's an exaggeration to call the combat infuriating though. At best, it gets in the way sometimes, but the fights are usually quite easy and if you are having trouble against a certain boss, there are several places where you can grind a bit for just a few minutes.

Looking at your game library, your comment is kinda funny.

He made a topic before complaining that the combat was too hard and that the game should have some sort of accessibility option. I also got confused when I noticed his library.

Holy hell, you're right. Hilarious. I guess the game is hard and repetitive because he only uses the same action during combat?

I can't imagine this game being hard unless you do that though lol.

You can't avoid the combat, but you can change the players stats to make combat MUCH easier.
This is the link with instructions to do that: https://www.gamepretty.com/omori-how-to-edit-and-change-stats-cheats/
Just put everyone's stats at 1000 and its very hard to die

[♡~Maya~♡]
