growth

Z.H.P.: Unlosing Ranger vs. Deathdark Evilman is all about numbers – you repeatedly start as level 1, and all the progress you make is fed back into your base level-1 state, and then you can modify your body to make those numbers grow faster, and then you can merge your modifications to make the growth faster, etc etc etc. It’s ultimately linear growth, though, and I can’t say I really care for the mechanic – the time/reward payoff is way too slow for me.
