I got about two hours in on this last night. Its really great. The combat manages to be quite challenging, and strategic without being too easy, or too hard. It seems to be a nice balance. Im a sucker for turn based RPG's, as that's what I grew up with, and I like the back and forth of it. The story, world, and characters have loads of charm to them, and the melancholy tone of the game, contributed to by the awesome soundtrack really adds great atmosphere, and a sense of sadness to the proceedings. This game is a steal at only $15, and anyone with an even passing interest in RPGs should do themselves a favor and play it.
Its funny. With all the resolution wars and blathering back and forth with people these days, I can look at a game like Child of Light and say, that in its own way, its one of the best looking things out there, and its not really even trying that hard to be.
Price a bit high for me. I will relook at it when it gets cheaper.
That was a tricky fight for me as well.Just lost my first fight. The boss snakes in the bottom of the well. They kept paralysing me. Bastards.
The harder difficulties definitely do bring out the strategy elements better. And it's completely doable with zero grinding if you know how to approach the battles. I have literally just been skipping battles completely vs grinding, and I've been tackling it just fine once I figure out what to do. And how you use the glowing blue companion in battles is very, very vital.So I have had this sitting on my PS4 since day one, but have not had time to play it yet. Question for those well into it, does Hard (soon to be Expert) difficulty really bring out the strategy elements like I have been hearing?
Took me multiple tries as well. Just beat it. I just had to do a little bit of "grinding" in the dungeon leading up to the fight. After a few levels I was good to go.Just lost my first fight. The boss snakes in the bottom of the well. They kept paralysing me. Bastards.

Wow, not one? Were you playing on hard?While I never lost a single fight through the entire game, I think that fight might have been the one that took me the longest. Even including the final bosses.
Can you change the difficulty setting in the middle of the game? I'd like to play on Hard but also like to have the option to drop back to Normal if I want to. Does that game give you that option, or would you have to start a whole new game?

You are more skilled than I. I haven't died too much, but I occasionally mess up a fight to the point where I do end up dying. I sometimes just get flustered with how much is going on on that bar I think.Yup. I was playing on hard and never lost a battle.
Though I did come close a few times, especially on a couple of the later boss battles. It comes mostly down to doing a good job of managing enemy turns. If you can cancel their attacks or get your guard up before they take their turn, then the game isn't too difficult.
Too bad there's no trophy/achievement for doing so.
