Is Guardian Heroes not really worth it without two players? I got through the campaign as Han, but nothing really clicked; I was either letting the undead guy do most of the work and barely surviving, or perpetually stuck in hitstun from a mob of enemies dogpiling me after I've fallen down.

The only thing that seemed to work was jumping back and forth between planes to surround enemies or bait them into a heavy hit, but that stopped being effective by the endgame/final boss fucking Golden Silver, of all things

It just feels like I'm supposed to be developing strategies or simply enjoying the carnage with another player, which would sadly mean I won't get much fun out of this one. Enough people I trust say this is one of the good ones, though, so I'm more than fine accepting something wrong on my end.
