Game is too hard on Switch

[Kenny R.]

I always die in like 2 or 3 hits. Not fun when enemies take a lot of hits to kill, and they can kill you so easily.

Hey there,

I can give you some tips like get used to the rolling dodge mechanic (it gives you invincibility during the roll) and use the healing Bellflower item more often for survivability. A lot of this game is about learning the enemy's patterns and placement in the zones and playing carefully to clear the way until the next checkpoint.
Hopefully that helps a bit.

If you are not used to this kind of difficulty, or you prefer something that lets you focus on more on the exploration aspect of the game, there's an easier difficulty option. It starts you with much more health, defense and items that regenerate your HP.

Other than this, all I can say is that I'm sorry you're not having a good time. Hope my tips will help a little if you decide to keep trying the game.

Cheers

Honestly, I wish you kept it like the 1st 3 games. I love the cave story look, and the controls/mechanics. Please bring that look back eventually.

That's completely understandable. While I've moved away from that style and my current projects are variations on Momodora RUTM's style, I'm aware that it's a shift to something different that not everyone is going to like the same way.
I can't promise you anything about the future, but maybe one day!

Thanks for sharing your opinion, and I hope you'll give Momodora RUTM another try.

Cheers

Well, I hope one day you do. I can't play the new one. It's unplayable when you die in 1 or 2 hits. Dying 1000 times isn't fun. Thanks for the replies though.

There's nothing wrong with playing a lower difficulty. If you're dying to normal enemies, skipping the fight might be for the best, and for bosses it might be good to just watch for a while without attacking to see what their cues are.

There's hardly any difference between easy and hard mode. Easy mode I get hit and lose 80% of my life, hard mode I lose 85%.

I'm good playing the first 3 games, like I said. 4th one was a dud.

On Easy mode you start with the maxed health bar of the full game, plus a passive item that reduces by half the damage taken. Could you verify for me if you have an item called "Adorned Ring" in your "Equipment" menu? That item only exists in the Easy difficulty, for example.

Here's a video of the "Easy mode" version of Momodora RUTM on the Switch. You should be seeing these damage values on the first few screens of the game. Please let me know if it differs from your experience.

My intent is not to stress you out. I apologize. I'm currently worried if there might be some sort of glitch in the game that is affecting the values, based on your comment that there's hardly a difference between Hard and Easy. However, I will not ask you anything else.

Once again, my apologies.

Cheers

What a respectful dev, bummer you have to deal with this guy who clearly isn't being helpful and isn't very open to conversation that could potentially help him out. Great game by the way, excited for what's to come!

Hey there,

Is that happening even after you go into the Settings menu and selecting fullscreen from the Resolution option?

hit alt enter. works for me to go into full screen. 99 per cent of the time when games launch in window mode, it works to hit alt enter.
