no, it's not even the good kind of hard/old-fashioned, it's the stupid kind
oh whoops this boss that gets three turns for every one of mine chose to focus every attack on the same character, they're dead now
oh whoops they did that again for the next three turns, game over
now it's time to redo an hour long dungeon and the three other boss battles I was forced to do to get to this point with no opportunity to save the game in between
It had good music at least, I'll give it that.
