Is "Easy" actually easy?

[Fabrigade]

Hi all,
I'm not very proficient at gaming, but, somehow, I enjoy it A LOT. I have no ambition to be the uberhero in eSports, I want to enjoy a good story in an interesting world with excellent characters and some action.

From what I have seen, Expedition 33 could be such a game. Having heard it features an turn-based combat system, my hopes went upwards.

So, how easy is the easy difficulty? Are there still bosses that are very hard? I know this is not a clear 0/1 decision, and everyone has a different mileage, but how do you experience the easy mode?

Thank you all

There is easy, and there is no-effort. It is definitely easy, it is absolutely will require you to put at least some bit of effort, in a sense of understanding battle mechanics and using your Pictos system, this is rpg after all.

It's not a very difficult game even on normal. But a few points:
1) You can't completely ignore the parry/dodge mechanics even on the story mode.
2) The optional bosses (there's often 1 or 2 in each story dungeon) will one shot you no matter the difficulty, as they're meant to be parry skill checks.

This game takes a lot of inspiration from Sekiro, so it's not a typical turn-based game.
