Yeah, I think the game's difficulty is nicely balanced. You can use all the advantages you get and it'll make things a lot easier, but you'll still probably take a spill here and there without the game ever feeling cheap. And the achievements will push you towards tougher challenges, like destroying all the checkpoints, skipping all the relics, and never buying anything.
Finished New Game +. The toughest part of that, by far, was the boss rush. Would have been nice to get a more substantial Hard Mode, but it was pretty good.
So what Relic(s) do you guys keep coming back to? I'm actually a big fan of the coin, which I sure didn't expect when I first got it. It deals two shovels worth of damage, continues past enemies it kills, and bounces off tougher enemies so you can hit it back at them again. Plus, a chance for extra booty! It's great for taking out quicker, smaller enemies that mostly stay grounded, and helping you inch towrards that 50k gold achievement.
I'm also a big fan of the grey armor, where your shovel charges after you do two bounce attacks. |

@BrookYea really! Brook kept saying, "this game ain't nothing special, blah,blah,blah..." I will admit, until I watched the trailers for the game on Thursday, I had not planned on buying it. I knew about the game cause of everyone continually talking about it and that it took forever for the game to receive a release date. Once I watched the trailers, I was really hooked, esp. because of the soundtrack and how colorful the game appeared. I was a little surprised that the game was $14.99, I thought it would have been $9.99, which I still think is a better price point and many more people would end up buying the game. Don't get me wrong, I think the game is great and the developers did a wonderful job making SK such a pleasure to play. The gameplay, control, presentation are perfect, imo. I think the one thing I keep seeing as a complaint is the game is too easy. Well, I've through the first three levels and I think the difficulty level is perfect. I actually think it is more difficult than what I was expecting, esp. from the way everyone was saying its too easy. I'm glad the game isn't any harder AND as far as breaking the checkpoints, no way will I do that! I've seen people saying, "well, to make the game harder, break them." No, that doesn't make the game harder, it just makes it more irritating to have to go all the way back to the beginning cause I screwed up and ended up falling into a hole or lost all my life. It sucks bad enough that I have to go back to the last checkpoint. I don't find it fun at all to have to do the entire level over again, it makes the game more monotonous, not more difficult. I really had a little bit of trouble deciding whether to download this for my 3ds or Wii U. I really would love to have it for both and it goes back to that old argument that for those people who own both the handheld and console, once you buy the game you should be able to play it on either system. No one should have to buy the game again to play it on whichever platform they didn't initially download. If I bought the game on the pc, I could have downloaded it on my desktop, laptop, ect and wouldn't had to pay twice or more times. Anyways, since I did pay $15 for the game, I had no issues at all with downloading the game's soundtrack for free. I saw where Jake Kaufman and Yacht Club Games was offering, 'Pay what you feel' to receive an email to download the game's soundtrack, so I entered a 0 in the field box and now have the soundtrack on my sd card in my 3dsXL. |

Okay, I've found a frustrating glitch. If you're using a controller other than the GamePad and the GamePad's battery dies while you're playing, a prompt will pop up telling you to plug in the gamepad or whatever. After you plug the Gamepad in and turn it back on, the game freezes and you have to unplug the system to reset it? Has this happened to anyone else? It's really frustrating to be tied to the Gamepad even when you're using a different controller. Someone may have already posted about this, but I didn't search through 6 pages of discussion to check. @nate38I use the Silver Armor the most, with Red Armor taking second place. I tend to favor using the fire wand, the anchor, and the knuckles. These covers long distance, aerial, and armored enemies, respectively. |
