We have made a few tweaks to how the difficulty and AI have been operating in Demon’s Revenge. One of the things we have taken out of the game is enemy levels. In the past, the game would usually adjust to the way you would be playing in order to relinquish the need to grind and compile experience. That did not work out and in some cases that would ultimately work against the player. We felt it provided a challenge and gave the player a reason to go into battles. In the end it ended up making the game more challenging than it should have been. The gains you would achieve in level would feel minimal as the enemies would always seem to catch up with you.

So instead we are going with a more retro feel, adding in gameplay mechanics that will provide a unique experience with each enemy you encounter. It will feel a bit more like Pokemon, as the enemies will be noted for doing “something.” Here are a few examples of what we are talking about.

Long Tusk Boar:

 

The long tusk boar will be a very aggressive creature. It will try to attack anything; that includes your party and any object in its way. If it gets frustrated, it may increase its attack power while becoming increasingly more aggressive. They operate best in groups as they tend to attack simultaneously with one another.

Worker Bee:

The last thing you want to do with worker bees is to be passive. If you get into battle with a worker bee and try to hide, they will immediately send out smaller swarms to find and attack you. Worker bees are fast and possess a venomous stinger. Although they are very fragile, they are also hard to hit.  You’ll want to use accurate and quick attacks as their stings can leave your party members in a critical state.

EPIC/Fabled – Hornet Queen:

 

The Hornet Queen is a fabled enemy that resides in Origin forest. Because this creature is hidden, we do not want to say too much about it. It should be a surprise. Some may have fought this creature in earlier versions of the game, but a lot has changed since then. These enemies, unlike the previous versions, will be beatable in the first episode. They are made to open up the lore and the world of what we are trying to build with Demon’s Revenge.

Thanks for taking the time to read our update. We hope to bring more news soon!
