I just bought this game and It gets incrementally more laggy as I progress.
At the start of the first level everything is super smooth, no lag at all, even when there are many characters on screen and effects (explosions, knight on rampage etc.) going on. Then as I get closer to the bottom of the level the game gets more laggy. But just slightly, still playable.
At the start of level 2 the game is a little bit more laggy than at the end of the first level and at the end of lvl 2 the game is barely playable.
At the start of level 3 the game is completely unplayable. Heavy lag, even when nothing's happening other than me walking around.
I feel like it's getting more and more laggy with every character as well. So after maybe 10 more attempts lvl 1 will be unplayable at the end.
I've got nothing else running on the computer, it meets the minimum system requirements. I've tried restarting both the game and the computer. No luck. :(
