Again, the main levels of KR are totally OK on casual, the others are not!
Denying or ignoring does not change that.
But as I said, I was already expecting to find closed ears.
It's still a sad thing.
Excuse me? Pot calling the Kettle black much? You are as much at fault here for denying the fact that strategy games, hell ANY games, are designed with a learning curve. Yes the later levels are harder, that’s the damn point. You've played the game and learnt how to play it, now here’s a challenge.
They’ve been doing it since computer games started and nobody had any problems back in 1985 when Bowser went from being an easy boss you could run under to stab an axe, to a fire breathing, hammer throwing moving platform boss.
Your entire argument is resting on the definition of the word Casual meaning "without effort". If Ironhide change day it to say Easy, then your argument would collapse, as compared to Veteran mode. It IS easy. Pandemonium on Veteran is almost unanimously considered the hardest level in the entire series, and yes, whilst it is difficult on
Casual, I would expect it to be as one of the last Post-game levels.
Missing out the 'so called' Casual gamer is not an oversight. Kingdom Rush is not designed with casual gaming in mind so It shouldn’t have to adapt for a market that would otherwise have no interest in it. Is there a Casual mode for Dark Souls 3? No? Why not? Because it's a massive 80 adventure game that’s not design to have people skip around with infinite health and 1 hit kills, and if you went on a DS3 forum and had this discussion with them, you would be trolled mercilessly.
Because YOU can’t beat the game on it’s easiest setting, where millions of others can, does not put the game at fault. If you want a casual ga,e, then go find a casual game. Stop trying to force your agenda onto a series that’s been perfectly fine for nine years.
