I beat the game on G4 tonight, my best advice would be to pick engineer class, focus on energy weapons, try to find projectile weapons that have chances to shoot more projectiles and or have seeking. Focus on using your levels on elemental damage and increasing fire rate and energy weapon damage and try to focus on a single element mainly fire or electro, cryo is ehh. Engineer has several dedicated skills that will allow you to turn any weapon into any element, you will want to choose the elemental mods every time they come up and go for chromatic mastery asap. Armor increase is really good the harder you go also but the most important thing is to stay moving and using all you abilities to move around and avoid the enemies, jump, grapple, boost and duck bro. and if you are lucky you might get a ton of auto crit and can just aim wherever you want and win.

Good advice, but saying "Cryo is ehh" is a mistake. Cryo grants auto - crit with mastery, that will win the game for you.

Stay as close to Iris's face as possible, close to his muzzle! .
After him there will be a final boss that looks like a spider. Here you need to keep your distance.

This is good advice at least for the 1st phase. Apparently flying up directly into it's face magically makes every single one of their attacks miss. I then wiped on the 2nd phase and rage uninstalled. I'll have to revisit it later when I'm less burnt out.

me and my brother, we play on hard difficulty, we like the difficulty as it is. We are not even experienced in FPS games. so games not really hard at all,if you stuggle too much, choose normal or easy. if those are still ahrd for you, well then i have to say you should not play FPS, play somethingelse.

If it's too difficult for you it just means you haven't turned the music volume up louder.


that's all you need to do

Yep fair point

Yeah, the game has balance issues in term of difficulty levels. Easy is really easy, and Standard is way too hard. Hard is super hard but I don't have any issues with that, since it literally says HARD. There are two main issues at the moment:

1. Difficulty spike in Fields, Aqua Station and so on. You blast through first two levels and then you get wrecked and bombed from every side.

2. The amount of enemies: simply reducing the amount of enemies especially in closed rooms would solve the issue.

Standard should definitely be nerfed, but that probably won't happen since the devs are stubborn and there are plenty of "gAme iS ToO eASy gET GuT" masochists here.

You just have to upgrade the camp, learn to move/dodge/slide, get hook and gatget and try to pick specific builds. As soon as u do all of this, only guardian 4 can make some problems to you.

I'm terrible at fast paced shooter, but even I eventually managed to beat the game on normal difficulty. You'll get there. The unlocks are a massive help as well.

Finding a robot that suits you helps. Try them all out, find the one you like the most, and then stick with him.

I do agree that the jump of difficulty from easy to normal is quite harsh compared to normal to hard, and hard to guardian 1, and guardian 1 to guardian 2 etc. I do think they should rename the current easy to very easy, and implement a new difficulty between the old easy and current normal, to make it less frustrating to try and ease into higher difficulties for people who may be inexperienced in roguelites or shooters or both. Currently the difficulty curve really reminds me of Ninja Gaiden Black, where Easy was basically god mode baby games journalist mode that's borderline impossible to lose on and the game even made fun of you for playing it, and Normal was incredibly tough to even get past the second level.

no i feel this.
take slightly too much damage per hit. Had a purple gun at stage 2 with fire build going. pretty much one shotting everything still got killed in closed circle room. few 'mistakes' and its game over regardless of your 'build'. too punishing. same reason i got over Deadlink.
Gunfire has better scaling difficulty

Unistalled. Only beat it once on easy and it felt too much like cheating. I have all upgrades, everything, but this 60 year old gamer just isn't having fun. Too much of a gap between easy & normal.

Thats sad. Considering you have 54 hours in Roboquest and still struggling on normal difficulty, you are not doing well in FPS genre, maybe this kind of game is not for you.

Youre essentially playing on baby mode telling other people not to play if theyre struggling when people who have hundreds of hours who have S G4, me included, then its probably true. Which it is. Especially with the new Endless mode. Its horrifically unbalanced, and when you get to harder difficulties if youre not 3 steps ahead in every fight then youre just screwed.

That is probably because the defensive part of the game is not elaborated. It is always offense, offense. That works if you have a powerful energy weapons with working perks. Even with a super powerful combo one mistake will get more than half of your health.
