If you want, you can also suggest other games I could get instead!

Should I get it?

Yes
No
Get something else

I'd say it's probably worth it if you don't have a lot of other games to play right now.

I really like it, but be prepared to play it for a little while and not get too attached to individual characters.

Ive heard its incredibly hard/challenging. Is it so hard that its frustrating or is it a nice kind of difficulty that makes you think, sort of like the Witcher 3 with boss fights?

I have never played The Witcher 3. It is hard and challenging, the RNG can get annoying, but it is much better then when it was Early Access. I never got terribly frustrated with it, but a few of my friends did.

I personally never found it too frustrating. I mean occasionally a character you put a lot into dies and doesn't come back, which is a bit disheartening but I never even got close to the point of "that's it, I don't wanna play anymore". I think it's pretty balanced, where the game gets harder as you get better/get more items/perks without being ridiculous. There are also a couple different settings to adjust difficulty/annoyingness (ie: turning off corpses staying behind after killing the creatures).

I'm not the best at video games and I've loved playing it. :) If anything I could see people getting turned off by the repetitiveness of the fighting, moreso than difficulty.

Thanks for your input! I would have to agree, after all the information ive been given, I can see that I would probably feel a little annoyed at the repetitiveness of the battles but I have never played a game that made me leave it just because the battle system was repetitive. So I think I would definitely enjoy this game

I'm still waiting for it to go down in price. I've had it on my wishlist forever but recently they jacked up the base price when it came out of early access.

Oh? How much did it used to be? Its 15 dollars right now but I'm assuming it was probably 15 dollars during early access anyway? >.>

I forget, but a quick googling seems like it was originally $20, and went to $10 during the last winter sale.

I purchased it for $14 and I don't ever recall it going much lower than that ($12 I believe was the lowest I've seen).

Either way, it's worth at least that. There's no price-gouging going on.

Wow its annoying how they didn't go back down to 12 or 14, every little penny counts lol. Do you think its worth 15? (Or 16? I don't remember the price right now)

One of the few Early Access games that turned out fantastic. It's hard, but even so it's enjoyable and the biggest loss when your heroes die is that you have to get new ones to strengthen. So yes, I'd say you should get it. If you like the art style, the turn-based row-positioned combat and, of course, the awesome narrator, then get it.

I've had a lot of fun with it, myself.

Nice, I think I'm leaning toward getting it for now but I think I'm going to wait a few days before then. Deals don't leave the summer sale right? They only add deals? They don't take them away?

I've heard it's hard, but unlike Dark Souls or XCom for example, this game is not fair besides being hard. I've pirated to try it out because I intended to buy it, and gotta say it is true, RNG > skill. I can only agree with the majority of the steam reviews.

Maybe you should give it a shot before buying it too.

That's a great idea, I will definitely see if I can find a way to play it to see for myself. Btw, was is RNG?

Random Number Generator, meaning for example if you heal a character it can be healed for 1/3 of it's life, or it can be healed so little you won't even notice. The point is really that if you're really good in this game is not enough, you have to be also lucky.

Yep, it's a really good game.
People like to say that it's insanely hard and unfair, but honestly (apart from the rare moments where you get REALLY unlucky) it is quite fair. You are always given the option of backing out of bad situations before they go out of control and with the right party compositions you can make it so that it's nearly impossible to end up in a critically bad situation in the first place. In fact, in retrospect, the majority of heroes I lost were because I got too greedy and kept going even after the odds had stacked up against me.
I guess I would best compare it to XCOM: Enemy Unknow on Ironman Mode- after you have a good idea of what you're doing you almost never lose anyone. :)
