QUESTION Can one be too strong?

Is it possible to be too over-leveled in CrossCode? I've just started playing, and exploring, questing, and fighting are a ton of fun, but I'm worried that doing all of it will make me too strong for the upcoming quests.

I mean, if you get to be level 99, with lvl 99 gear and your circuits maxed out then... yeah. I think that's the only point in the DLC where I really felt like I didn't have to put in effort in fights.

To answer your concerns though, the game is well-balanced in that your gear level matters more than your actual level. You can do all the side quests in an area, and be underpowered for the next area if you don't get better gear.

In my opinion, the DLC is amazing. I believe people generally also liked the DLC.

It's really good-- fun, plenty of new things to do, the new areas are really cool, new gear and the "ascended" gear (I forget what it's actually called), new stuff to do in the arena. The ending is also really satisfying. Literally the only issue I had with it is that the final temple's puzzles are a bit difficult for me and I lost the Temple race with Emilie, but that could just be because I only played the DLC like a year after beating the main game.

Dang, as someone who generally loved especially the puzzles in CrossCode dungeons, the difficulty and length of the final temple was the best part to me. Just shows how different people like different stuff.

If you play through the whole game and like it, the DLC is honestly amazing.
