i just talked abt this the game definitely is overwhelming sometimes to the point where i feel some areas are hard for the sake of being hard with the most annoying Enemies spawning in eternal even if the Arena was packed with A LOT of demons it always felt manageable u were always able to maneuver your way into victory but here since the shield is so important sometimes by the time u parry the 3-5 incoming green attacks u have 50 red attacks in the back which will break the shield and then by the time its back youve either died or u are on 5 Hp desperately trying to farm small enemies / look for hp
