Is this meant to be this hard?

I find this game rather hard... You don't really have space to move and strafe on the maps, ranged enemies have like pin point precision and most of the time I am out of ammo.

Either that or I am getting old :)

I think the game is definitely tuned to a higher level of enemy damage than its contemporaries. For me, it's not the size of rooms that catches me up when dodging, but rather getting caught up on random doodads and pillars. There's no bias in the movement towards sliding around small objects.

That is right. You might have a slightly bigger room, but then you get stuck on all kinds of objects :(

Restart on lower difficulty?
The game reminds me of Blood a lot.

The final boss's gonna make you rage haha. Won't spoil you the fight but there's one thing that keeps me looking on the ground because you can get bodyblocked and damaged, but it's unkillable.

I put it on very easy now ... I'm an experienced FPS player, but the damage you get in this game + the space to actually dodge enemies is way to limited. I'm at this second boss thing and stuff keeps spawning all while I get stuck on the rather small circular room :s

Second boss is hard as hell, you probably need to kill all the sorcerers before damaging the cores that powers up the shield. He spawn them by wave, and you won't have them anymore on the last phase.

Thanks for the tips ... I beat him on very easy, that boss fight was pretty unfair imo ...

im still deciding if door camping vs lapping rooms is more effective but then i get hit by a random projectile that destroys me and Im not sure what I died to because it just end screens me instantly.

Game is clearly lacking better feedback when you get hit. I died numerous times and I didn't know what caused my death.

He does not keep spawning. The minions teleport, making it look like he is - there are like 2 waves of minions and he spawns some more for second phase, I think. So the trick is to actually kill them all before you deal with the boss himself - once you do that, his own attacks are hilariously easy to dodge.

I figured that out. But then there is this sort of shield thing he does, if you run through it you die. So it's very hard to get rid of his shield. Like the 20 year old priest in this game says : "I'm getting to old for this :)"

Yeah I'm starting to struggle a bit with the game and I'm playing on easy with a controller. Which is mostly fine but the Entities of Torment are nigh impossible to hit with anything but hitscan weapons or the plasma stream upgrade I didn't take. One room was brutal because I had no tommy gun ammo.

I think the game will become more manageable on replays because I'm getting the sense what upgrades should be focused on but yeesh, I think there's still a lot of game still to go, I just about barely managed that massive gauntlet/arena where you're in space. The last bit was easiest because at least I was able to use invincibility a decent amount.

Episode 4 (or its 4 & 5 - I've lost count) is barely playable because of difficulty spike. Basically, you've Painkiller-style tons of meat in episode 3 already, but levels after cutscene of killing the mayor is just a mess.

To many throwing multiple projectiles bullet-spounge monsters & less ammo - reminds me Daikatana at launch. That will nice to put ammunition on levels or decrease number of monsters a little bit!
