After 9 days finally got the hard badge too - I've hit a wall around lvl 164, finally advanced with a team of 3 archers, 2 tanks and a "mage" (around 17 points in magic to use some staves, the rest evenly between armor and melee attack). Mage was set in the second row on minimal walk speed, so it could throw some spells and was a secondary tank for the mobs for when tanks died - stopping them long enough for the archers to kill them. Now I can finally ditch this game too... it was very irritating how gems were basically useless, couldn't even use them to buy gold or sthg.
Weapons and armor: I think you shouldn't look at the picture, only the stats. Haven't unlocked reforge yet, but probably you can make less nonsense pairings (lvl 3 magic damage for extra shot stat? Lol). The other thing you can try is to change beasts when you fail a lvl: 1. it's not the same to chase dogs than snails, 2. you might get some new additions to your bestiary. But only if you want to go on/get the badges, otherwise don't waste your time with this game (either)
So far I played the game twice, and there are indeed multiple ways to finish it, wow! Many (if not most) point and click games only have one straight linear solution, I'll have to try some more to figure out all versions here!
Unfortunately I missed the first 3 games back when they were playable, but I really recommend you all to watch caramida9's playthrough videos on Youtube (look for "Zombie Society - Death After Death" 1/3, 2/3, 3/3), they can give you a hint about the background story - I still hope to be able to play them myself one day...
Oh, you mean the comics? Yeah, they explained quite a lot about the zombie society setting. Unfortunately, 'cause of a contract I've signed, those games will not be playable in the near future
When you first talk to Tira, she kind of spoils some of the future events. It might be a bug, could you please check? Either way loved this episode (too)
I don't know if it's only me but I only saw the feet of desperate soldier... looking for something on the ceiling. But even with that I loved the game, thank you! <3
Well, I just completed level 2 when the game started a very interesting bug - loading all the puppets again and again and trying to give me 1000+ fishes -, but then I couldn't click to anything so I had to refresh page, and of course I didn't get my items nor my fishes from that round.
