Is this hard or am I horrible at it?

[Monsieur Bambi]

Furthest i've gotten is wave 12.... after that its automaticly a loss...

Not sure if its supposed to be this hard?

12 is the last wave before you complete the run. There is a difficulty spike, especially towards the end of the wave, but it can be beaten with a solid build.

It is pretty hard. Beating wave 12 is absolutely non-trivial, same for getting to it.

Here's a few suggestions that might you. Early on, get your Harvest skill up and a second (or a third) weapon asap to rack up and collect those drops. Sometimes the Trees will drop a crate instead of food so target them if possible. Try to stay focused on a build that you want while capitalizing your character's ability bonuses.

Having Luck can help when upgrading and for certain skills. You'll also get "free", stackable bonuses for every like weapon you have in your arsenal (e.g., having multiple Guns will give you better Range, Knives will improve your Critical, Sticks are just... savage, and so forth). Don't be afraid to reroll for better level up abilities and gear, or picking a lower-grade option if it improves your current character overall.

Learn what stats to ignore or weaken for better gains for your current build, and sacrifice those early gains like Harvest for survivability assets in later waves. For instance, max HP (and HP-generating abilities), Speed, Armor, Dodge, and the like aren't very important in the early waves since there are fewer enemies and they don't hit too hard yet, but become more important in later ones (and if your current build supports them) as enemies become more numerous and stronger. Likewise, early skills like Harvest become less useful in later waves as more enemies appear on the screen and you should redirect your focus on your ability to clear them.

Hope that helps. Give some of these ideas a try! Good luck and have fun in your future runs! Cheers!

It's a demo and 12 is the end anyway.

For now, you are horrible at it =))) I'm just a bit better with a dozen wins or so but just play and at some points, you will figure out something to make future games a bit easier. Stacking up those 'a bit easier' and eventually you will get some wins.

I feel horrible at 2 of the potatoes, which i have not managed to score a 12. The warrior and the pacifist really prove difficult for me. I think because the warrior requires a lot of inventory management and delayed gratification. And the pacifist is probably the worst potato in the game.

i beat the game with pacifist on second try (second try with pacifist, not second try in general). just stack up lots of health, regen and armor. ignore all damage buffs (except attack speed, although i wouldn't focus on it unless you go with leech instead of regen)

I did hit the jackpot with 3 of those purple helmets tho, which was nice.

Warrior sucks big time, working on beating game with him now

I've played a lot (46 hours) and only won with 7 potatoes.

I also haven't got to wave 12 with a few, one-arm and warrior and pacifist and dumb. I'm sure many players are better at this type of game, but I can't help thinking the game is rather unbalanced.

It seems ridiculously easy to win with loud compared to any of the more difficult potatoes, and melee is weak compared to range, both intrinsically because of melee weapons not firing at enemies out of range and having much lower range, and because of bandana and ricochet. But it's been fun with the potatoes where I found a winning build.

[Johnny Thunder]

the game is unbalanced but that's fine. i like that some characters are harder than others, as long as they provide an interesting challenge. only character I really don't like is the warrior. just straight up gimped in too many ways. playing one isn't interesting, it's like running a marathon without legs.
