Difficulty

[† GrimReaper †]

Im thinking to buy the game but Im a bit worried about the difficulty. Is it harder than Elden Ring and/or is there a way to get stronger if something is at your current level to hard to kill?

In short, I am a casual player and dont wanne get frustrated by dying over and over.

it's actually not that bad. the only difficulty (for me) comes from the slipshod movement and controls, but even then you'l get used to it. just don't choose condemned class like i did. yeesh

You might... want to buy it, play it under 2 hrs. Then decide if you want to keep it or refund it.

I don't think anyone can really give you a good answer you want.

Try not to play more than 2 hrs.

It's not too bad in my opinion. The toughest parts was the first boss (which really isn't bad once you get the combat mechanics down), and areas you probably shouldn't be in at lower levels. If your patient with the current quirks of the game that seems to be afflicting a lot of players as well to me it is worth the purchase (though i haven't experienced hardly any of it personally except some slight performance issues).

Scratch that, third boss lol

It's a tough call. I find this much harder than ER. You can cheese stuff in ER and there are a ton of variety. For the life of me, there are just a lot of mechanics at play in this game.

If you dont want to die over and over again then i think this type of game are not for you.

It's not that bad for a souls like one you get a few pieces of decent gear and level up some it's easy

I started with buckets, 1st boss is the hardest

[Pve-Rentner]

On ng its not hard if you level up high und have a good build. On ng+ its hard, in the end a real challenge. but i still like the game. If u like Souls Games, just get it but you should not play it with an old PC system.

"Is it harder than Elden Ring?"
Definately Yes

"is there a way to get stronger if something is at your current level to hard to kill?"
No, not really. You can try invite someone to duo play, which makes it a bit easier.

"...dont wanne get frustrated by dying over and over."
Then do not buy, this game is very frustrating and annoying.

I've been playing this with my gf who has never played a souls game and she's getting the hang of it.

I'd say it's a lot easier than Elden Ring.

Also, you can grind a bit if you need some levels.

Easy peasy. Want easy mode? Just go through the first boss, get the Pieta sword/bloody glory and lightbeam, increase your faith and destroy everything in the name of Jesus

This is literally the easiest soulslike I've ever played, idk how anyone can compare it to elden ring. Everything this person said is completely wrong to the point it's probably a troll post.

Maybe the last part is somewhat accurate, but that's just standard for the genre. You're supposed to die frequently and learn from your mistakes.

As hard as any soulsgame, if you're undergeared, maybe harder than Elden Ring even if you're maxed out in terms of gear, leveling doesn't help much here compared to Elden Ring, though eventually it helps out, though like in Elden Ring using your summons, summoning players in here is very helpful, if you get someone that is, in Elden Ring summoning other players was meh, or playing with a friend was actually harder than playing solo, optional bosses we couldn't beat, I could solo, just because of the stat difference, but yeah eventually after some leveling player summoning in Elden Ring would've been more useful.

Elden Ring is way easier, if you get in both games decent gear and max out a decent weapon, because leveling up matters as much as gearing up in ER. Elden Ring ng+1 is similar to LOTF 0+ after all this patching, it was way busier in terms of monster density before it got patched, lotf ng+1-3 and beyond maybe has the original density. You can just hide behind your shield all day long in Elden Ring, in here you act or die, even at lvl 150 you can still easily die if you get wombo comboed by some normal enemies at end areas, bosses are at that level range only hard in ng+1, very hard ng+3.

Remind yourself that, how you play the game and how you experience the game, is yours alone. Even if what I said is true for me, it ain't true for you.

If you're casual, don't buy this game. I'm a huge fan of this genre and I've spent almost as much time ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about game design in the discussions as I have playing the game. The game felt fine to me in the first area, up until I got past the first boss. I found Pieta pretty difficult the first time while I learned the game tempo and learned how to compensate for the frame issues that are present, but by that point my refund window had closed. The area after you reach the central hub is basically a platforming game with a much jankier control scheme than Elden Ring. I died probably 20 times going through that area alone. The game is definitely not a casual experience and I would rate it as being much less forgiving than Elden Ring.

Getting stronger is mostly tied to weapon upgrade levels, so he's not really out of pocket by saying there isn't really a way to get stronger if something at your current level is giving you difficulty. At the start of the game, most stuff you have doesn't have good or even decent scaling until it's +6 or higher and you don't get large Deralium shards until much later into the game. Pumping 20 levels into a stat isn't really a huge improvement until your weapon can actually make use of the scaling increase in power.

I would say "This is literally the easiest soulslike I've ever played" is probably much closer to "completely wrong to the point it's probably a troll post."
