I'm with Mirage on this. Early game is the hardest part of Megaten. Once you get past that one boss and can start fiddling around with set ups, it gets easier. Up until late game bosses start ignoring your set up and do whatever the hell they want. But somehow the final boss is almost always disappointing in the difficulty factor. Excluding (SPOILER)Lucifer, but he was an optional perfect run final boss, so of course he's gonna be hard. Damn I love Freikugel. But anyway: early game is hard, mid to late game is simpler, late game bosses are cheating bastards, and the final boss fight is long but ain't all that difficult and is usually accompanied by an awesome BGM.
