Does this game have difficulty levels?

[Codo]

Just curious. I'm intending to get this game on Switch, whenever THAT happens, but until then, I decided screw it, I'mma get it on here now. But I would like to know if there's difficulty levels, since I'll just play it on normal on PC, and hard on Switch, if there is. Please let me know when y'all can.

Not really, there's a mode that makes all deaths final, but you need to finish the game in some form or another to unlock it.

There is Normal and then a One Life Mode (Steel Soul)

Ah... Dang. Well, I'll admit, would prolly not buy it for BOTH systems then. So now just is the inevitable choice of: Get it now and play it while tied to my computer, or wait until Switch Version comes out and be able to lay in bed playing it or toss it up on my big screen.

It's not really about tthe cost of the game for me, it's the fact that I rarely play games to completion more than once, and despite how bad I wanna play it now, I -will- play it until it's beaten... But then I'll have no motivation to go through it all OVER again, ya know?

And I'll admit, every day I wait, the temptation to just get it on PC now gets higher. D: It seems like such an awesome freakin' game, that waiting longer is killin' me... But my PC setup ain't great (Not much room, kinda cramped, and no real way to 'change' it. Already organized! Just cramped no matter what.), so I wouldn't enjoy it near as much as I would, curled up in bed, enjoyin' the adventures of Knight-Bug dude. Ah well. I'll wait a bit longer, hopefully there'll be a bit more announcement, but I admit, I dunno if I can wait much longer to play this game. D:

Well, fyi, there's not much reason to play steel soul mode outside of achievements. you can get all 3 endings of the game in one save file, so you should be able to maximize your first playthrough.

Yeah, sounds about right. At this point, like I said, I'll try to wait a bit longer. Either way, thanks for the help y'all!

Pisses me off that there's achievements for no-death and speedruns. I've always been a completionist, but I draw the line where they make you do something designed to upset the player. I'd probably throw my computer out the window if I died near the end of Steel Soul. Hell, I've died many times already and I'm not even halfway through!

The no death restriction can mostly be worked around by resetting the game at 2 or 1 health. It's not so bad and for me, I'm finding some of the hardest bosses in my first pass-through to be one of the easier ones much to my own surprise. You learn patterns faster than you'd expect.

类似恶魔城的游戏，画风精美，好玩！

That's... absolutely stupid. It should have been like Dark Souls where resetting places you back to where you were, not Diablo 2.
