As title says, my first playthrough, after getting my bearings after getting screwed over in nearly every way a new player can get screwed over in the early game, (except rape, my only knowledge of the game prior to playing it last year was that castration is mandatory) I resolved myself to kill every mob I came across. If only for the safety of saving the game often, so I could do reckless stuff with peace of mind.

I would explore, have a bad time in one random fight, lose a limb on one character, quit and load because I was NOT going to carry on maimed. This led me to many, many tries until I finally defeated Crow Mauler without any loss whatsoever. And overall, there was a lot of quit & loading for the rest of the game, trial and error and all that. I did all endings I could with a single protagonist that way.

I beat the game without as much as a limb missing between my entire party, (my Moonless did perish in the final battle against the God of Fear and Hunger though) I have no doubt I also got somewhat lucky with resources for this all to be possible.

Is this really as insane of a play style as my friend made it out to be, or is he just being dramatic?

Map was a gray square, top down view, each corner a color (I believe green, blue black and yellow) the gameplay consisted of you choosing your corner and spawning guys wearing your color to beat up the other color guys and maybe dominate the other corners? I don't remember much beyond this.

I vaguely remember the different colored dudes having traits to them, loke the greens spawning new units the fastest and some other being tankier, so on and so forth.

The were not colored guys, they were literally normal looking dudes wearing the color. I do remember I played it via one of those game sites that were commonplace back then.
