Im playing on hard mode since i installed the game (i've never played any other difficulty) just like every other game i've beaten so far (xcom i+i , FTL advanced edition and so on) and i won't give up i'll win the way i want to win but you're just plain trolling right now by talking shit and implying that im playing on normal and that im bad or some rand om crap whatever you're trying to imply
you know how i won my last encounter which i died to like 5-6 times in a row because no matter what i did i eventually got perma stunned and died? I ran near a corner forced all enemies to come close, threw a barrel with my warrior and shot a fireball with my mage and they all died.
Viable warriors, balanced game, yo. Carrying barrels big contribution.
