Difficulty?
Before I purchase, I was wondering how difficult this game is. Is there a difficulty option? I am worried this game may be too difficult
Écrit par AzzUK:
It has 3 difficulty options. You should be fine on the easiest one and you can change the difficulty in the option menu if it ends up being too easy. Even on the hardest difficulty it's not that bad.

Edit: I made it to the boss and he was one-shotting me when he got into 2nd phase so I decided to go to sunken outskirts first (I needed money for potions anyway) and it seems easier in this area so maybe I am supposed to do Styx last. I still might have to respec and put all my points into constitution idk.

I made it to the second half of the game and am in Styx now. The normal enemies are a lot harder now (and I'm not talking about the guy who chases you). I would say that area is just as hard as most areas in souls games. I ended up just run past most of them or cheesing them with ranged attacks. Even then, it's pretty tough.

I'm playing on challenge difficulty. The primary gameplay is fine but the boss fights are ridiculously hard. Eulalia feels like a broken and ill designed fight. Marble is just completely overpowered and one specific attack if you don't dodge it will always kill you.
Ok, I agree with you now. Got to the end with my first character so I started some new playthroughs. Got stuck at Eulalia with one char and Marble with the other. I guess I got lucky with the first time(s) I beat them.

I knew someone was gonna chime in with this tired take.

Sorry, but I don't need a video game to feel accomplishment.
And I find it sad that you do.
I have plenty of accomplishment in my actual life.
I don't need a piece of fiction to like I've overcome some adversity when I've overcome plenty of it just living my life.
Find another hot take.

Just because you treat video games as more important than the toys they are doesn't mean they actually are.
I won't agree that gaming is always a waste of time. That's nonsense.
There is plenty of value in play.
But if you're having to defend difficult games because they give you a sense of accomplishment, what does that say about your life?

It's a toy, and having a higher threshold for pain doesn't make you a better person than someone who says "this isn't fun anymore" and decides to actually enjoy their time instead of bash their head against a wall because that's all they've got going for them.

This is such an insane take on why people like souls likes.

The "accomplishments in real life" makes no sense. By that logic, why people enjoy any kind of media at all? Why do people enjoy comedies if they can tell jokes irl? Why do people like romance movies if they can fall in love irl? People enjoy media and fiction because of the different emotional reactions they can get from it in a controlled environment, that doesn't mean they aren't going to experience those same emotions in real life.

And that attitude of looking down on people who can relate more deeper than you to a piece of fiction while actively consuming said piece of fiction doesn't make you look smarter. Hell it's even more pathetic if you think these are "just toys" yet willingly waste your time with them.

Also you keep bringing up in other responses that souls players act like they're better than everyone else, yet no one in this thread said that or gave that impression whatsoever but yourself.

My life attitude is simple here.
The second you put others down for not enjoying things just like you do, which is all down to differing brain chemistry, I will take you down a peg because you could use a dose of humble pie.

See? This is what I mean. Nobody said that. Nobody put other down for not enjoying things. The only one doing it was you. So pull your head out of your ass and cut it down with the "champion of the people" attitude because you're just making yourself look like a dense ass.

Reading through this thread I'd say that it seems to be a bit like Jedi Survivor? Story mode is like.. .STUPIDLY easy, whereas it can get pretty difficult later on in the difficulty scale? This game isn't like Elden Ring... yeah?

I think I'm near the end and the game has been braindead easy even on the highest difficulty. Only a few bosses have been annoying and only due to gimmicks rather than actual challenge.
oh i see. Alright thanks!

What are you talking about? On the hardest difficulty, some of the bosses are harder than Dark Souls bosses. o.O
well that's a ... pretty wide spectrum....

Nah, nope. Some of the bosses have scary-looking big Dark Souls 3-esque movesets... but due to Asterigos being a slow game (I think it's slower than Dark Souls 1) said movesets can be always safely dodged and punished.
Add to that how even with the perk that accelerates healing, you carry 19 healing potions with you when Soulslikes tend to have 12 at the very most and at the endgame, and this game's stamina bar is extremely generous so you can take lot of actions before you need to stop or reposition yourself.

Asterigos is easily the easiest Soulslike out there, or at lest the easiest of the ones I've played.

Maybe it seems easy if you've been playing a lot of soulslikes and comparing to the newer ones, but if you go back and play Dark Souls 1 & 2 there's no way you can say it's harder (aside from O&S). Even some of the DS3 bosses are pushovers compared to the harder bosses in Asterigos.

Given the different skills some being more broken then others no they aren't any harder then anything in DS 1 or 2 its not a matter of playing tons of "souls-likes" the only thing close to it would probably be all the optional end game bosses but they hit harder more then anything.

What some find easy or hard is usually subjective.
It's not too difficult, but definitely fun.
