Demo is too difficult for me

[Gazelle]

Should I not buy the game if i can't beat the demo? Is this the first level in the final game? I think I like games like this, but it seems to difficult for me. I already play on lowest difficulty. What often happens is that someone leaves and then I am game over. Probably morale problem?

So if i find the demo already difficult, I should not buy this game? How is the difficulty of the final game compared with the demo?

The demo stage is in chapter 2. It takes a decent bit to get to it and you will have a greater understanding of the mechanics especially with timing and preferred weapons once it comes along.

Basically, if you like the gameplay, I imagine it will be a lot easier for you once you get to that stage with natural progression.

What difficulty did you play it on?

Thanks! Good to hear its not the first mission. I played on the easiest difficulty. I don't remember the name exactly, historic or something?

Well, the game does ease you into things in a relatively gradual way so it might help mitigate the difficulty for you. There are some stages that might be frustrating for you, but most of them up to that stage are fairly straightforward and not heavy with ambushes to instantly kill morale.

yea i cant believe how hard that demo is. like my morale completely disappeared in like the first 6 minutes even though i was killing leaders as fast as i could. the combat was fun but like whoa lemme slow down just a little bit.

To be fair, the demo does chuck you right in at the deep end, especially with facing Lu Bu at the end (Which is notoriously unkillable/powerful even in the other games) and the generals do have a habit of just running forward and dying to enemy generals. Just make sure to run right to them when they ask for help if you're able to. Like the person above said, the game does ease you into these things in the full game and you don't even get some of the things you get in the demo until well later on.

Overall though i'd say it's really a nice new take on the DW games, you should definitely give it a try. Also, if you're trying it on easy mode, ALL attacks can be blocked which does make it a lot easier (Especially for boss fights)

You can grind as much as you want in the full game. You will get many side missions that are from 2-10 minutes long. You can overpower yourself for a particular mission if its a bit too difficult.

how can you overpower by doing extra missions? is there a leveling system?

Thanks for all the replies!

Yes somewhat! The leveling system is done by gaining ranks by leveling your weapons. It kinda forces you to try out other playstyles but you can just grind out the levels of a weapon as high as you can and move on to another weapon.

It's totally possible to make yourself overpowered for the missions. In the full game you're given side missions between main battles that just kinda include: Capture the base, Stop this guy from running away, Find this guy, kill all the guys in the area. That kind of stuff. It's easy to grind it and pretty satisfying as well. Also being able to grind skill points is a thing. For every 100 KO's you get is 3 skill points

The demo was hard by design.

The actual game is more lenient... or at least from my experience so far. You will have to pay attention to the tutorials though since some mechanics are extremely important (You can always review it from the help menu).

If you feel "I want to get better at this game" after playing the demo, I really recommend trying the full game.
