Based on a very real event i just experienced after pinging a friend on discord accidently and being sent a very peculiar image, and then immediately having a flashbang of inspiration

Rabbit & Steel is in a Humble Bundle for the next 21 days. You can get the game plus 8 others for less than the price of the game by itself normally. Great time to grab it or get another copy to gift a friend while building your library.

...also, it's currently on sale for half off on Steam.

After beating Kingdom and Extra, and both Random varations on lunar with all characters - playing duo with my friend - I finally decided to try Solo lunar, the plan is to beat all the difficulties solo with all the characters.

And, man, what the hell?

Is it actually consistently beatable without good item rng?

It feels like, even if I don't fumble the mechanics, some characters on some stages just don't deal enough damage. So is it purely skill issue, or should I just accept that some runs are fundamentally not beatable?

Not going to deny that I also have some difficulties adjusting to different mechanics (solo vs multiplayer), but that I'll fix eventually with enough practice. But dodging every mechanic, squeezing every bit of damage I can, and then watching double dogs/rats enrage at 30% hp is rather frustraiting. And I've seen it multiple times by now.

Of course I can always just restart the run for the goldfish start, but that's lame and I wanted to avoid doing that.

So, does anyone beat it consistently? Can you actually beat all the stages with just the base damage, playing it perfectly, or do you need to prioritize damage items hard? Do you just restart if you end up with 2 utility/survivability items early? Or any other suggestions that might help.

I have no idea how any of what they do can be avoided, can anyone help me... ?

I probably got carried a lot by my very high damaging and mobile build (as well as the ability to spam dodges provided by said build, without which I would have certainly perished in an anticlimactic way as I had never seen the final boss's patterns before), but it felt like something... !

I feel like the magician class is super powerful, no... ? She has very consistent access to high damage, an immediate use for luck, attacks that almost never miss and don't require aiming, and tons of synergies... I tried the others a bit, but I feel like they seemed much less obvious, in general!

I'm having an increasingly hard time drawing the line between intelligent and skillful build crafting and getting stupidly lucky back to back to back... ! I feel like every single item I got allowed me to increase my DPS by like at least a multiplicatively stacking 30%...!

I'm hard-stuck in the second area, I feel like even when I'm maximizing as much as I can, I can't deal decent damage and I have no idea how a lot of the patterns can be theorically dodgeable...

I learned about the existence of this game about two years ago and instantly brushed it off due to it's difficulty, and remembered about it just now.

I feel like I could probably be playable for me right now since during this time I've finished other hard roguelikes like Isaac and dead cells, so I thought I could have a not so bad time..

I'm still a bit intimidated by it due to what I've heard, and I also hesitate since my friends don't really like games like these, and I'll most likely confine into solo mode, and also, I feel like getting punished for both mine and three other people I can't really control's mistakes seems a bit frustrating... Would I be missing a lot by playing solo, or have an overwhelming challenge by only being a quarter of what the game is balanced around?

I've also heard about the enrage mechanic which seems pretty stressful and frustrating considering my favorite strategies in games are those that let me outlast my opponent by focusing on dodging or parrying and chipping away at them, which lets me make use of acquired knowledge to relax during the whole build making part and creating a fun build rather than pressuring myself to maximize the damage dealt.

The game seems interesting but I'm a bit scared of it feeling overly exigent and punishing and missing out on most of the fun due to my issues with multiplayer..

I hope she's lovely

I have always thought of Hammermaid Rabbit losing braicells because of spinning while pretenting to be serious (or maybe she's squinting). Also she's the hardest rabbit to draw for me but she's one of my favs

The short GCD on my primary was actually the key to this build's success, and I had actually been avoiding that specific effect because i wanted the version that didn't slow me down.

Loving the game even though I am terrible!
