I just give each character a long-range weapon as back-up so that they don't become completely useless if a random monster flips the formation.

Heh, that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Do you think dropping my gazer's damage output by giving him a bow will be really detrimental?

Truthfully hes a lot better up front for the most part. But if things get switched and you need him to fall back on the bow gotta make do! lol

and I'm amazed at those of you that blazed through this game already.
Knowing this takes place in the same world as Students of the Round makes me wish I had been able to play that. It would be cool to see the world before and after

When I completed half the circles in I guess the third 'zone' of the game, I ended up fighting the first 'phase' of
and got fucking wrecked so badly that my entire party was seriously dead except for my Demon Gazer who MAGICALLY took barely any damage at all. Also

That ass kicking literally just made me go "NO. FUCK YOU GAME." and then I proceeded to furiously grind and gather equips for like 2-3 hours. Now my entire party is 17/17/17/17/12, with that lone level 12 being my new Ranger. I didn't even realize a lot of my characters were high levels until I fought
and fucking destroyed it taking a total of 20 damage and it was all towards my Paladin.

It's funny how the reviews for this game are all over the place.
From http://nichegamer.net/reviews/demon-gaze-review/
Ive played nearly every game of this type that has existed since 1986, and I can honestly say that this is the absolute best dungeon crawler Ive played since 2001s Wizardy: Tales of the Forsaken Land and thats some very high praise, considering that Forsaken Land is one of my all-time favorite games of this type.

The more you put down the stronger the monsters that comes out "can" get.
Yeah hording $$$ to buy new rooms which come with a character already that can be edited is the best route at the start of the game. Some of the items are needed for quest stuff, but there are not too many sub quests that require things I think. Also save at least 3 nameless gems. Or whatever they are called in the US ver, since you will need those.
Heres the cost of rooms info again.

1) Yes
2) Prioritize getting 4 party members
3) The more items you use, the more likely you will get a tougher battle, but it's not always the case. You could say using more items increases the maximum difficulty, but RNG may still give you a stupid easy battle.
I noted last year after playing the import that I hadn't felt this way playing a DRPG since Wizardry 7.
I feel the sales and success of the game are warranted. It's a damn fine title.

You can buy them at the item shop. Don't start over. Using nameless gems and then selling the left over equipment is actually the best way to earn money early game.
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Also you can find them at times as a reward from battles. So dont worry about it if you used them up!

LE arrived, the box is lovely, the "artbook" is disappointing, the wait was interminable, shouldnt have strayed from digital
Considering what you get with the LE version, dont really think folks should be complaining about anything truthfully.
I mean you seriously didnt expect a proper artbook at that price I hope.
Green Wiggly
Member
Yeah, that was a bit disappointing.
If you grind for levels, it shouldn't be an issue really. Just make sure that you stay out long enough to cover rent and make some on top of it, and remember to sell the items that say to in the description.

starting the game today,
any tips for a new player? I am expecting pain already, and will probably roll my own companion instead of taking the default paladin.

Yeah obviously not, but I dont think expecting more than a pamphlet was unreasonable, something along the lines of the one that came with Dark Souls
repare to Die, Final Fantasy X HD, etc. would have been nice. Would have preferred more art and no cd, but ultimately its a minor niggle.

It happened to me at that level too. I leveled until I got demon rage and unleashed Mars on her.
Dual Wield is a good one to get but I am not sure just how limited they are. Most recommend using them with the +items gems to maximize per gem payouts but it may not be worth it as long as you get the important artifacts. Just keep a save before that just in case.

Dual Wield is something worth keeping.

They are pretty limited. Also the type of skills you can obtain from circles changes depending on the dungeon you are in. Lower lv dungeon = lower lv skills. Which works for or against you depending on what skill you want.
Indeed save / reset is the way to go to get what you want the first time through.
Yeah I think you said it like 30 or 40 gems per play through but would you recommend saving them until you get the item boosters?
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Its generally suggested, but that would be for more the perfectionist players I suppose. Seeing how folks here are beating the game without issues, its not really required to do so, just that some folks like having exactly what they want and in the most efficient way possible lol
Though I think if you use the booster dont go sticking in 3 gems. Just put 1 gem, 1 booster. As dont think 1 booster works on 2 gems. Ive always done the 1 + 1 way, which is why dont quote me exactly as gospel for it not working on 2 gems.

Thank you for citing us, I was really happy with how Carl's review came out. While I've only played the game a bit myself, it certain oozes polish and is definitely worth it. I think it's just catering to fans of that genre, and those fans alone, and the people who review it who aren't fans of it generally just aren't happy with it.
Carl, obviously, is an enormous fan of those games lol. I've just been getting into them myself, but I'm already loving 'em!

How do I get Fran to make me a demon key? Can't fight Chronos until I do it.

I have been teetering pretty rapidly on whether this is mediocre or good. It's like, both.
Anyway, I seem to be stuck on a certain thing that happens right after you capture the second demon. I think I'll go try to grab another level or two and hope for some better equipment drops.

Indeed, the balance (so far, at least) has been really wonky for me.
I'm getting a good feeling that a lot of that has to do with the wild unpredictability of what equipment you are getting early on.

I already expect death.
Yeah. I just got a healer before tackling her, but her strikes were way too powerful and my Gazer can be killed in two to three hits. May go to the other area and level up a bit while getting new items.
