****Posting party mix, forewarned:

So far I've mostly played this game with a friend. We got it on sale, totally worth the price paid and honestly I would think it'd be worth full price as well. I did beat a solo campaign on easy in addition to co-op. So far, as a team, we've beat the original for the king game and also the frost adventure. For the King took us a single try (apprentice difficulty, 2 characters minstrel and scholar) and Frost adventure took us three tries (Journeyman difficulty, herbalist, blacksmith, and minstrel was the winning combo for us).

Personally I'm really loving this game. I've had to basically debate strategies and class picks prior to starting a game, and we've concocted some good ploys that worked out. Tomorrow we start Into the Deep and let me tell you, I'm excited to stop taking cold damage every turn lol.

Sometimes the RNG is rough, like having a 92% chance to regain life at a lifepool, only to get the 8% fight roll and therefore have the lifepool disabled. It doesn't bother me though. Nothing in real life is 100%, why should it be in a game? It's frustrating, but its also a challenge because it makes you adapt to that ridiculous fail. Most of the time you can use "focus" and secure a 100% or a high percentage, just depends on the situation and whether it allows focus use, also depends if you can afford the golden root that replenishes focus. Frost adventure was the hardest on this, because the stores didn't update at the end of each day like they did during the normal campaign, so healing items and focus became super difficult to obtain. We had to enter the final dungeon a level early to avoid using more health items and the final fight almost destroyed us.

All in all, this game is fun. It's simple mechanics and at times it can feel a little repetitive and the RNG can make you hate life more, but the feeling of beating a campaign or the feeling of a dodge or crit, feels super rewarding. I fully recommend the game.
