Incline Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion - Wuxia Pixelated Isometric Open-World Sandbox RPG with Turn-Based Combat

nightmare is also fine for first blind playthrough (I did that) but prepare to load shitload + abuse old man early
carry on bonuses are decline

They're fun. Also, you're definitely going to fuck your build up the first time. Nearly everyone who plays this tries to make a glass cannon at first before realizing what a terrible idea that is halfway through their run.

after I was done with the game I checked what meta builds looked like for max difficulty (all additional settings with carry on bonuses)

Spoiler

if I recall correctly max str and max vit were the "best" ones while ignoring rest stats (other than getting em to 10 via activities)

any change in stat balance? Last thing I did was beat the intro for nightmare achievement and called it quits. Constitution was the best skill tree.
