Is the game difficult?

[Redfronick]

Those who don't like soulslike games might like it? Or is it better to pass by?

I dont know why so many trolls compare the game with a soulslike -.- Its not even close to a soulslike, stop comparing it. Reported for trolling.

play easy mode/git gud

It is an RPG. It is as difficult as you choose to make it.

[Spud Crowley]

the parry and dodge mechanics are a souls-like addition to the persona/final fantasy style game. it's actually a pretty cool and innovative amalgamation of japanese rpg styles.

It is a bit difficult, there's a ''story'' difficulty and an automatic offense QTE option. If that's still too much there's a mod to make parrying/dodging easy or even super easy.

[Bran]

depends how good you are in rpgs and with QTE

[Ratsplat]

If I can face tank the paintress on Expert, then story mode is a cake walk.

[Jikap]

Yes, I find the normal mode (Expedition) of this game kind of difficult so far, though I enjoy it.
This game also has an easy mode (Story) that I haven't tried, so i can't comment on the difficulty of that mode.

Thanks for saving me money. Not a fan of japanese RPG.

If you ever played FF 7 weapons or FF 9 whole game or FF 10 lightning dodging oder FF 10 some Seymour fights it is a walk in the park. The comparison with soulslikes because of dodging is terrible....

this game is if persona had a one night stand with sekiro

[Sacrefice]

Games difficutly is okay until you hit late game, after that it's a directionless mess that constantly beats your ass because you have no clue what fights you can take and which not

[raprap]

There is a mod at the nexus page if you find the QTE mechanics frustrating, give it a try, worked very well for me.

It's not a souls (Soul: a game where a currency is used both for leveling and shops and you drop it all when you die with only one chance to recover it)
The game difficulty is essentially focused on the dodge/parry.
You can lower difficulty if you want.

The game isn't easy but game "journalists" play it so ...
