Beat the game in 10h what a grind it was!

[Darky]

Stat decay is bull, artificially prolonging the game duration. Grind was real, very hard to start out but once you get some stats going (and by stats i mean only pump agility, get the better dodge and counter attack from agility skill tree), you can farm the warehouse guys for money instead of working. Fight -> buy 7 meat -> train -> eat sleep; Fight with guy in gym everyday for 3 skill points and also with Roy (total 5 per day), keep doing it every single damn day and pump those agility skills. Repeat to infiny. Finished the game in 157 ingame days. Would not do again.


Conclusion: Don't level up anything except agility, game is a chore/grind, other builds except agility don't work (tried a bit with str, kept missing all the time, agility imba), if you are masochistic and enjoy a time sink this game is for you.

So the game has no strategy and is just grinding? Thanks for the input I was following this game too.

been playing this for a few hours there is plenty of strategy OP is just making it sound like it doesnt to support his argument. you are discounting so much about the game. other builds do work you just rather build agil and didnt bother to try make anything else work.

@CrossFit4Jesus , my first build was a STR (played for about 1h with it). Could not hit my opponents at all. Agility instead of STR means you hit them 90% of the time and the improved dodge + counter attacks make it that they miss you 90% of the time and damage themselves every time they do it. AG is OP and there is really no point in choosing other stats beside it for a build. I'm sure if you invest enough time STR builds can work too, but I think it would just increase the grind/time it took to finish the game.

stat decay is miniscule, yeah you loose a bit but gain a lot more in the stat you been focusing on and easily get it back when you work out the next day. you cant focus on all 3 stats and some abilitys are stat dependant, so you have to figure out how you want to build your character but the thing is different fights require different stats. for example i fought one guy who i noticed had low damage but attacked often so i built for stam to absorb the attacks and i trained for str so i could take advantage of high stam i was primarly focusing on damage absord( DMG absorb is based on stam) and dish out the damage. other fights ive trained for high agil and stam. this is just one aspect of strategy in this game. there is also talent trees, you cant just work out and buy every single talent like its candy . each round you can(if you want) pick another set of actions for your fighter that round so you either choose to attack or defend more or a mix it sounds obvious but there are so many actions to choose from from kicks, to punches(and different types obviously high lock kicks, uppercuts etc) that it comes down to picking the best for whats going on. he has high stam? use leg kick attacks to decay his stam for a round or two, he has high hp and you fighting with high agil then go for kicks to take advantage of your high agil. there is plenty of strategy in this game to be made with how you manage your stats each day.

@CrossFit4Jesus, I appreciate your input but what I am trying to say is that all that is pointless when AGI build with dodge and counterattacks makes you do 200 dmg combos while never getting hit. I guess, it's just me, I like to min/max and I found that my build was insanely OP from start to finish. As soon as you start dodge + counterattacks you are unstopabble. I think I lost 3 fights in the entire game. Also high AGI makes it that you can run away from muggers, escaped every time. I really think they need to balance the game more at this point.

This game is super annoying - Every opponent is stronger than you, your constantly battling against stat degradation, having to feed yourself, sleep, watch TV, work, get robbed, start again - ahem, refund

Doesn't sound like you beat the game at all. None of this is applicable after half-way through the game.

stats decay is not minicusle,i was getting 300 strenght and lose 160 or more(and a lot of the other stats) for example,it's enormous.

Endgame is even grindier, to be fair. Fighting hordes of ninjas to get skill points is just tedious. And AGI is OP, you can just put dodge and counters and win things pretty easily.

Yeah the game is a total grind.
When you're at the mansion, the only thing you do is trying to earn enough fame to fight the next dude.
And the money becomes useless because in the end you'll have 20.000 in your pockets.

Mansion is where the game went from ok grind to tedious grind. I understand the fame mechanic was new and fun thing but it just became doing endless jobs then spending a week working out just to get back on form for a fight then do it again but for longer this time. That and the game takes away things from you with little to no warning. I only had 1 more fight in the ultimate league but hey I'm champion now so we have to do the thing.

[regret, life.]

All they need to add is a toggle to stop the stat decay. That way people can either use it for the challenge, or not.

This is exactly my experience. I had a STR-focused build. The first section of the game was fairly easy and enjoyable. When I got to Russia, it was incredibly difficult for me to get my stats ahead of the curve, and there wasn't any way to learn new skills to work around the need to gain stats. When I got the mansion, I had an incredibly grueling grind of fame and tons of useless money. Up until that point, I had enjoyed the game, but then I started to hate it. What is the point of forcing the players to grind fame?

In the end, in order to beat the game, I had to raise my agility and stamina until I had 16 STR, 10 AGI, and 16 STA. The guide at the beginning of the game lies -- it seems the only "good" build is one that incorporates or focuses on agility.

I'd also note that the game's "strategy" seems to be more or less random dice rolls. I went up against the movie studio ninjas using my STR build and the exact same techniques every time. Until I decided to use the agility magic potion, I would get defeated by the first ninja maybe two out of every five times. (That was with 16 STR, 8 AGI, and 16 STA.) I'm not convinced that most fights aren't just random dice rolls.
