I recommend saving all your (normal) lottery tickets till you get to level 20, then use them all. That way you will collect EVERY costume w/o having to kill each group 3 times each. It saves a TON of time and gives you some strong costumes.
Two secret items:
Legendary Sword Masamune --Dimension 14 Hard:
Go to far right of the second screen and climb the wall, need 3000 gold, talk to the npc.
Legendary Boots Winged Shoes -- Dimension 15 Hard: Again, far right BEFORE boss screen. Treasure chest.
Hard Badge Tips: Be Sea Lord, circle around clockwise, concentrate on ONLY treasure chests and dodging, ignore all spoils except for chests. You want to kill things as SLOW as possible.
Right away buy Flag 4, Magnet 4, ship upgrade 1. After 1st boss you should have ship upgrade 2 and have or be close to Magnet 3. By 2nd boss you will SELL magnet 3 and replace it with Weapons 4. After 2nd boss, ship upgrade 3. ASAP get Magnet 3 again. At 3rd boss, sell Magnet 3 replace with Fire Rate 4. After 3rd Boss Final ship Upgrade, replace Fire Rate 4 with Flag 3 and for final slot buy Speed 4. Then concentrate solely on surviving till 4th boss. After 4 boss, you are done.
Please allow us to restart the level whenever we want by pushing a button, rather than having to beat the level or purposefully lose it before we can restart.
Great Game! I managed to beat it with only the first sun damage chip and w/o the air tank.
Out of curiosity what do all of the plate say this game? And is there a secret ending or do we just get the one.
This game is awesome, I have already spend some 6 hours or so playing it, and I believe I will continue to do so. Still need to max out faction relations and get like 10 more talents.
A+++
This game has lots of potential. Personally if you made it so certain super monsters could be gained by beating them, I think it would add lots of replay value.
From my experience the absolute best team is 3 Cyclops up front and 3 Shadows in back.
