Additionally, if you go the full corruption path you lose all your special combat abilities that prevent bosses from steamrolling you. Even with platinum sword and armor (which takes way too much grinding to get), you still eventually run into enemies that can still knock a 3rd of your health off in one shot.
The combat system is unbalanced to the point of unplayable. Wanted to like this game, as I liked the original text game, but really can't recommend as is.
