Yea 60 on every stat is overkill, I beat it at lvl 20ish on both chars by focusing on one stat mainly. A good combo plus the 2x damage multiplier can easily get you through Chapter 8. I also advise you to focus your skill points onto one skill so you can actually use it often. Now the only problem is that both my completed save slots are frozen and the gold slot is still not unlocked =/
for everyone with trouble on challenge 22, which is vaguely worded imo
instead of using all your weapons to kill a two individual enemies, it actually means that you need at least 2 kills for EACH of your weapons
tried many times until i realized that it probably meant something else lol
finally beat 80 on hardcore, completely addicted to this game xD
only complaint is that the randomness and reliance on luck in order to get a good weapon.
i havent gotten past 40 on multiple hardcore tries, but on my last one i managed to get a 4 mod bowgun early and then lvl 20-80 was a breeze
Probably the hardest (or the biggest headache) i've played on kongregate, but i finally got the badge
key is to get many power ups early, and some luck
finally got all the badges, at first i could only get 14 lvls and couldnt even get the hard badge, but with the golden commando i got exactly 20 lol
the lag helped a bit too since i could dodge the bullets more easily
Great game! Though I don’t like how much of the game is based on, since I’m just generally unlucky xD
Lost the past 5 games with constant unavoidable zilches before I even roll 300 points.
