Hi. I just got heroes of cerulea so I thought I'd give this a go. Not sure if I'm playing it right but I'm dying A LOT. Mainly because every combat encounter has multiple enemies and using the rules in the core book, I understand that I can attack one but have to defend against all the others. I'm dying every time I come across monsters... Would halving the amount of enemies each combat be 'cheating'?
Also curious what the benefit of a ranged weapon is. If you fail a combat roll with a ranged weapon, do you still lose a heart?
I'm loving it though. All I did when I tried playing the original legend of Zelda was die so it's accurate in that regard lol.
Are you playing the game solo? The campaign is (somewhat) balanced for three heroes; page 18 has suggestions for modifying difficulty. Also, if you are playing solo, there are different rules available: https://blackfiskpub.itch.io/hero-of-cerulea
When using a ranged weapon, you can attack from out of danger and thus not risk losing hearts (at least for that round).
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm using the solo rules but still dying a lot as they don't modify combat encounters. The problem is more the number of enemies than how strong they are.
I personally haven’t had that problem, but the goal of the game is to have fun—feel free to reduce the number of them, of course!
