Combat can be brutal early on in the demo. I was getting defeated quite a bit, especially in the boss battles. I never could make it past the dungeon area. The game is even more difficult because so much gold and inventory items are lost every time you die. Are difficulty settings planned or not? I would like to know because this might not be a good game for me if the difficulty is meant to remain high....

That's quite a long time away. Why so long?
