Demon King Domination Difficulty Poll
🕑 Added 2018-04-03 11:26:16 +0000 UTC The biggest complaints I keep seeing about Demon King Domination is that the combat is too difficult or confusing. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions on this, and wanted to get a better consensus on the current state of the game.What do you think of the combat in DKD?

A health bar, and some kind of warning about counters and healing would be good. Put in a line of text saying something like "She is leaning back for a big blow!" would help to make it feel less like rock paper scissors once you figure out her pattern. Maybe change a little of the values? A stored up big hit from you shouldn't do 2 more damage than can be healed, that just makes it feel underwhelming. Look at the combat for the Stick of Truth, you can see when they are in a counter stance, or when they are gonna attack or heal, so you can know to heal or to press the attack. Also, if you are worried about immersion for the health bar, maybe do something like the Doom guy from the original doom? small nose bleed at 80%, black eyes at 60%, down to missing teeth and blood everywhere at 20%, don't have to do exactly those things, but just some visual indication that she is getting weakened.

It's not that it was hard, it wasn't really combat. It was trying to figure out a pattern that worked especially in later stages and hard mode. Lots of trial and error and loading saves. Made it feel not like combat and distracted from the game. Enemy health bar would be nice to so you know where you are or stand in the fights.
