Children of Zodiarcs

The game has two difficulties, NORMAL and HARD. Gameplay is almost identical between the two except for on the HARD difficulty enemies are scaled to always be 2 levels higher than your party. So you can't grind levels to gain an advantage.

The game isn't that bad on HARD, but I would recommend doing 2 playthroughs as the missable trophies for level specific events are much easier to achieve on NORMAL. You should utilize the mid-battle save slot consistently over your HARD playthrough as your characters can be 2-shotted pretty easily early on.

Be sure to make use of Brice's DEVOUR+HEARTLESS CRUELTY combo and LEECH. Both are extremely overpowered once leveled up.
