JSH, I hate you.

First I'm not in the game (to my knowledge), now RMZ's monster crew? (Nigh-impossible battle?) Anti-semitism at its finest!

A) You're in the game, near the end

B) Have you tried blinding them?

A) That'll take awhile, but it's nice to know

B) Yes. It took me about 20 tries, but I finally did beat them. Now I'm fighting TM, who's a... black chick?

Ms. Cleo, actually, and Red's little gang was a total cake-walk. I took 'em out on my first try.

Yes, I tried this game, and I like what I've seen so far. I'm suprised so many are skipping the battles, and thus not suprised they think it's hard since they got no items. I like how you always heal after each battle, and that there's no currency, only items, in which you get one after every fight. It's almost like you are penalizing players for skipping fights.

Just so you know, JSH, I thought it was a brilliant game. Certainly the most original I've played in a long time.

I agree with Machu -- it's certainly not hard enough to go around skipping all the battles. Some of them require a little too much luck, though (I'm thinking of CCS, who I beat when Post:P didn't un-Quick Hitler). The only other complaint I have is the uselesness of most of the equipment. Your defense is already suck-low; most of the stuff that makes it worse is useless.

Also, I can't figure out how to get out of the COIR. Is there a hint I'm missing or am I supposed to just guess my way out?

There's a hint in the rock patterns on the floor, specifically the shades of color.

The weird thing is, just days before you made this thread I created a Hitler walkabout for absolutely no reason. It had no place in my game or anything; I just suddenly had the urge to draw Hitler.

The game is pretty fun (though 90 percent of it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving Raspberry!

). I beat everone up until the Administrative Four, then F4'd to see the ending.

I liked the challenging battles (except a few, which were almost impossible and pissed me off). It could have used a little bit of puzzles and/or exploration, but overall it was a fun two hours (game time) for me.

(Oh and I absolutely loved the very first scene. Classic.)

thanks, thanks all.

As for the lack of exploration, that ties directly into my contempt for OHR Games where I have to walk around solving X puzzle for an hour. The focus on TQ is winning/getting past the battles, so I concentrated on them rather than the maps.

I also hate maptiles.

Edit: That Hitler sprite is awesome!

Y'know what, the battles would have been just dandy if the enemies didn't have so many hit-points. I gave up after leaving Renzokuken.

Not lucky. I only needed luck on two battles (i remember Shiz was one of them).
All the others were pure skill.
