Changing difficulty mid play?

[[OT]Nekrage]

No sense of accomplishment.

Can grind on the easiest then swap to hard if you want.

No difficulty achievements.

I believe there should be an option to play on the hardest difficulty from the start, this should LOCK the difficulty and allow no adjustments to or from this difficulty during the play through. Including achievements for this difficulty would be a big plus.

I find myself swapping difficulty on occasion and I feel like I'm cheating but your right. Once you start your game and select which difficulty you desire that should be that, only way to change is a new game.

What is the purpose? No one makes anyone change their difficulty level.

We may add an achievement for not changing the difficulty through the game but we don't want people to feel trapped into their difficulty settings.

No integrity.

Bummer. Your game loses any real challenge and integrity.

A real shame since you have something potentially great here.

I truly hope you guys throw in a FEW achievements for those who like a challenge.

But having an achievement that is obtainable only if you complete the game in a specific difficulty without changing isn't the kind of challenge for that?

Ohh no it is for sure. Sorry if I seemed like I didn't agree. Just would like to see more than 1 achievement. Beef it up :) one for each boss.

Ever consider beefing that up a bit an giving some "true ending" or additional boss if you play on the hardest difficulty to the end? Or maybe some bonus scenes?

We may add stuff like this but in free dlcs post release, tbh already hitting our deadlines on time for the main content is already a challenge.

Understandable for sure.

More "niche" features would have to wait for sure.

Appreciate your response on the subject. Respect.

Yeah I gotta be honest i find myself abusing it on occasion and I really really wish I didnt.

I always try to beat my games on the hardest mode. most games have some sort of incentive for doing that.

Think this may make it for the launch? :)

I love challenge. I wanted to buy this game but hate this kind of cheating.

I put placeholder achievements in the Steam backend so i won't forget, i added:

Normal Difficulty:
Complete the game with the battle difficulty set to 5 without changing it

Hard Difficulty:
Complete the game with the battle difficulty set to 7 without changing it

Nightmare Difficulty:
Complete the game with the battle difficulty set to 10 without changing it

Awesome.

Well done. Can't wait to see this.
