Can you please fix the bug where recruiting someone then saving corrupts the save? I lost two hardcore runs off those corruptions. At the very least mention the problem in the game notes so I don't have to trial and error through saves
If you beat the first 4 levels with hardcore on, you will never need to grind ever again. Do not attempt the final boss with hardcore on though, it's near impossible. And that's from someone who hardcored that laser hellhole of stage 5. If you do this, and leave hardcore off for Endless, the game becomes incredibly easy,
When you die, you need to reset the enemy patterns. There is a ridiculous amount of rng for level 4-3, because the gunners like to make unwinnable patterns

Sorry for your experience, working on it right now!
