While the combat isn’t great, that doesn’t mean it’s bad. We just would’ve preferred a little more evasion relative to kiting and using AoE attacks to wipe out foes. Once you get a feel for how the game approaches enemy encounters, odds are you’ll adopt a pretty similar set of tactics whether you’re fighting as a ranged or melee character. Yes, fighting as an archer does create a different experience than fighting as a monk, but it doesn’t fundamentally change things. Given that we’ve always had an affinity for hack n’ slash, your mileage may vary.
