Is the game really intended to be this much of a "try-it-until-you-get-it" luck-based RPG? (lemmy.world)

I mean, the game is amazing, has amazing dialogues, atmosphere and all that, but damn... the combat is surely a downer. Feels like theres no "real" tactic to the game other than just keep on (mindlessly) trying until the battle is won. And yes, I've done all quests, sidequests, with a "non-meme" party on the balanced difficulty and I'm -still- having lots of "please don't use (x) skill or else my whole run is done for" moments.

I'm not really a "party rpg" player, and "tactics" is a foreign word to me, so I have just downgraded to the Explorer difficulty after wasting a couple of hours on the defend the grove quest.

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things but the RNG does sometimes feel quite annoying. When I lucked out on enemies positioning themselves near explody barrels the pesky spiders crit-hit me to death, other times the suicide bombers just ran past the barrels or were to spread out to get them all.

Maybe I'll turn it back up later, or in a second playthrough, but for now I'm having more fun with the easier option. And I would recommend that to everyone who feels frustrated. The game is definitely worth it, even if it's not my usual cup of tea
