Game getting harder?

[Cryptix]

Hello, so I am fairly new to the game and am enjoying it. I have a question.

I heard people in the discussions talking about the game becoming unplayably difficult when you die a few times, what do they mean by this? People saying something about resetting their saves and stuff. I don't understand, is there anything I need to be worried about?

When you die you lose the operative, whatever gear they went in with and whatever they had looted as well as any experience gained.

The mission difficulty gradually ramps up as time passes but a few bad runs can leave you with trainee level operatives with basic gear that will struggle unless you get lucky.


Or they could be referring to the initial issue of a dead operatives starting gear not being replaced as it was at launch.

Ahh yes I think this is what they might have been referring to. So that's time related? Does that mean that if you lose all your gear somehow later through the game that you'd be unable to do easier missions?

your campaign will start to get harder as time goes on, as companies begin to climb or lose influence the the enemies they populate the map with will have better gear, at the start a lot of missions will offer 350-475 in rewards you can use this number as a slight indicator of difficulty though not always, 8-12 monthes into a campaign up to 18 -24 monthes a 480 reward map can be incredibly difficult.

this is a fun game but it doesnt do well with explaining why any of these things happen, though i understand there needs to be a difficulty curve so the player stays invested, usually though at some point the hell demons or whatever they are will end up controling much of the solar system and at that point it gets a little boring fighting them constantly(as well as endlessly aggravating and sometimes lpain unfun/miserable.

when this occurs usually you just reset the game and start again, alot is randomized so youll likely get to find to item/clone chips, unless you've unlocked everything possible and then you've seen it all sadly.

just went from a good prologue, the game turned into a very dumb random and number generator.

stick with it, it can be an incredibly frustrating game but once you get used to a few things its usually rewarding, there are gonna be times every now and again where youll die because of a mis click or trash mechanics, unbalanced aspects but it wont be always and when its fun it is a good time for sure.

Cool, thanks this is all useful to know. Having just started playing was a little lost on what was going on regarding the companies/factions.
