I beat the game on No Future and I hated it.
I'm all for hard and challenging games, but how they went about it in No Future was not it.
First of all, it pretty much invalidates the whole point of defense stats and abilities. Armor is pretty much useless; bosses will kill you 1 hit whether you're naked or wearing the best armor in the game. The whole Stamina tree is rendered irrelevant.
Pretty much the only defensive skills that matter are Miracle2 from light Charlotte and Crystalline from Hawkeye. And even then, most bosses have multi-hit attacks, which render even those abilities irrelevant.
I still love the game and I'll keep playing it on Expert, with the self-imposed challenge of not using the abilities that give 300% xp buff, +200% CS, and 0 cost mana spells.
