This game bro

[Komon277]

I love how the only way to get points is to lose consistently. I play the heads will roll mode and get hit once and then i'm blinded, poisoned, bleeding and have some other form of disable. Literally on the first battle. Feels rigged. Not to mention, missing three 90% chance hits in a row on multiple occasions. What I've learned so far is that, if you're going against someone with the same equipment as yourself, just quit the game. If you're going against someone with lesser equipment than yourself, just quit the game. Why do you ask are these the only options? Well simply because RNG will never be on your side in this game despite having 90+% chances. And honestly, why do the very first units you fight have poison weapons........ Seems scuffed to me. Not even a rogue like if you can't even get past the first battle to gain points. OH RIGHT ILL JUST PLAY A LOWER DIFFICULTY TO GET POINTS. Oh you can't? Well I'll just KMS since it's gonna take 60 plays just to get any form of points to even warrant not doing a random character. It's honestly a really scuffed version of A Legionary's Life. That game was great. Was able to play through the campaign fully within my first 15 trys and with each run thereafter I was able to make the runs better and achieve more. This game however, I can't even get through my first combat in 50+ runs.....

If it's your first time playing HWR games consider starting with a lower difficulty. It'll help you learn the basics of combat. Higher difficulties are intended for more experienced players who want to challenge themselves.

Also keep in mind that HWR is primarily a survival game and surviving (rather than killing enemies) should be your primary goal.

Eh, getting against someone with same equipment is easy, going against someone who have considerable better stat is where problem lies.

The poison weapons are real nightmire indeed.

Personally, I just changed the game code to have 5000 started points instead of the mere 50. Guess what? The game is still very hard.

Top it off, that same sword can bleed you in one hit and you have poison and bleeding. You are dead, there is no coming back and you likely wont have any bandages.

I have beaten the first chapter a few times so far on HWR mode and built up quite a few points but its still better to random your stats until you get a roll with like 10-12 stat points distributed. Especially if 2 or more are in the weapon mastery as those cost more to level up manually.

I dont think manual builds are going to be worth it until your profile is like lvl 7-10

How did you change it ? I'm kinda want to experiment some builds.

My way is editing script.rpy. Don't worry about script.rpyc, RenPy recompile it properly automatically on the next launch.
ctrl+F for a first entry of

$ player_roguelike_points = 50

I don't recommend making it 6 digits or higher thought. Stop at four or five.

There is also

action [NullAction(), SetVariable("persistent.player_profile_level", 0), SetVariable("persistent.player_profile_points", 0), SetVariable("persistent.player_profile_rank", _("Militiaman")), SetVariable("persistent.player_profile_img", "/windows and interface/profile_level_1.png"), SetVariable("persistent.points_needed_for_level", 10), SetVariable("player_roguelike_points", 50), SetVariable("trait", 1)]

where you can edit

SetVariable("player_roguelike_points", 50)

which will change the function of the "reset" button, but if you aren't planning to use it you can ignore this part.

Keep in mind that if that file updates (and it eventually will) the edits will be overwritten and you will need to make your changes once again.

Thank you! i tried it and like you said, this game is still hard even with starting bonuses.
