RotDS Review Thread

[Lockirby2]

I don't think the zombie bosses are too big a deal.  Even if Zombie Relics are not something that you'd normally have on because the Zombie status is scarce, I think that it's fair to expect you to re-equip your characters appropriately for boss fight once you know they have Zombie.  The only downside is that you don't have any warning beforehand that these bosses will have Zombie inflicting attacks, but I don't feel like "boss fights should be winnable on the first try" is one of ROTDS's design philosophies anyhow.

I think the Divine Gift shouldn't cut damage in half anymore, so it should always be better than the other Relics, unless you don't like the loss of targeting.  IIRC, the Divine Gift allows you to attack twice at worst, so you will do 100% extra damage at worst.  The Slayer Glove is a flat 25% increase in damage.  The Dwarf Bracer boosts the lousy Vigour stat, and is generally worse than the Slayer Glove (it might be better for really high values of Vigour though).  If you actively tested the Relics side-by-side and noticed the Divine Gift being the weaker option, maybe the damage with the Divine Gift is being cut in half again?  Which would mean there's a bug, or Nattak decided to change it back and I didn't notice.

Congrats on beating the hack!
