LISA The Painful has a large cast of characters, some of which are much stronger than others, and like most RPGs, you gain experience and level up by fighting.
However, several times in the game you are forced to make extremely hard choices, up to and including sacrificing the characters in your party (they permanently die). At another point you play Russian roulette by picking a party member to put the gun to their head and pull the trigger. Bad RNG? They're dead and gone forever.
If you don't know these events are coming up, you can very easily lose your favorite party/characters forever, and it's almost assured the ones you use are your strongest, since they're the ones you're using in your party.
They don't call it "The Painful" for no reason.
LISA does so much to make you hate that game. But its so good no one does
Yeah it's so good in its... bad writing, bad gameplay, bad execution, and otherwise failure to execute on the basics of game design. Truly unhatable.
