I beat the game being A Master Swordsman! It was an awesome game... enjoyed it throughout the story. Easy way to beat it.. just level up your attack only before the last upgrade, and then do your defense.
The Survival Badge worked for me.. I didnt get it at first, so I left it at the main menu and went to go eat.. I came back, and I had gotten it. But I'm not getting the hard badge.. =/
