Hello everyone!
Aragami 2 now has difficulty modes! This update aims to adapt the experience to the player’s preferences, whether they want a more challenging approach or a more relaxed one. This new patch includes new Easy and Hard modes that add some tweaks to the gameplay and enemy behavior.
The difficulty of a mission can be selected on the Mission Board before starting it.
The Difficulty Update features the following:
- Option to select a mission’s Difficulty on the Mission Board (EASY, NORMAL and HARD).
- General tweaks (applied on all difficulties) of enemy parameters and behaviors.
- The behavior of the aragami enemies has been revamped, and are now more present in the missions of the last third of the game, on NORMAL and HARD difficulties.
- Max player level has been increased to 48.
- A medal counter has been added to the Mission Board, as well as a rune reward for each type, if 25 medals are collected.
These are some of the parameters that change depending on the selected difficulty:
- Time the enemies need to detect the player.
- Distance at which the enemies detect some player actions (e.g. player killing an enemy).
- Distance at which the enemies detect events in their environment (e.g. corpse on the ground).
- Enemies’ aggressiveness in combat.
- Player’s strength in combat (only in Easy).
- Experience obtained at the end of a mission.
- Player’s Ability cooldowns.
- Player’s stamina regeneration rate.
