The difficulty on GG has been an issue mentioned a few times. For our curiosity and to gauge if more work on this topic is needed, please indulge me by answering this quick poll.

Hahaha, yeah, I don't think I've read it, but I beat the game just managing healing and support resources, and seeing how much damage it will do and to whom.

it's all about targeting the right enemies at right time, i.e. kill or break bruisers to avoid big damage, or put assassins in front of you to make them lose damage bonus

I also hate the the amount of enemies, even on easy. I keep dying and am unable to progress in the game.
Wraith
A more understanding tutorial might be ok. Even better a description of enemy roles during battle, like assassins being extremely dangerous when attacking from corners

B-But... Stella and Akari don't attack randomly, but with fixed rules >,..,< So while their attacks aren't changeable (albeit they partly are with the commands), they should be predictable. The "mission" for the player is to plan ahead using Gina's options to set things up for a big turn, while keeping enemy rotations in mind.

I get the basics of the mechanics but I agree with Acap. It's frustrating to use Gina as set up when you can't direct Stella(or Akari) to attack the person you want.

Something I discussed with Rho over the last week. The percentage of not fully understanding the mechanics might be even higher, as it's not needed on easy. Some people just wouldn't expect a porn game to have actual combat mechanics you can use to your advantage, so they never bother reading into it. It's fine though. Roughly 20% on normal means I won't scrap either normal nor easy, but just rework the tutorial/UI probably to make things clearer readable.

My beef with the combat system is that you can’t control your party members. Like what’s the point of having Gina guard break an enemy if Stella just attacks randomly? It’s not a matter of enemy stats being too high, it’s that the combat is too luck based with too few strategic options.

Biggest thing for me is that I never got into fighting games at the arcade, on a PC, or the various consoles, so kind of a big learning curve for me. My trick is to save just prior to entering combat so I can always restart when I die (not really an "if I die" thing on "normal" mode). The tips and hints on Discord have been a huge help, too.
Wraith
Oh come on, why so many on easy mode? It's not that hard
The_Don
Guess with 13% wishing for a better tutorial it already justifies the effort of making it

ngl, neither luck nor the random number generator seem to be on my side when fighting. A better tutorial might help, too.
