Phantom Blade Zero is an action game known for its fast-paced combat. The game’s latest difficulty mode, called Extreme, is designed for hardcore players who want a bigger challenge.
A New Level of Challenge
The Extreme mode isn’t just about making enemies tougher. The game’s AI has been revamped to be more aggressive and responsive. It can now interrupt players’ combos, making the experience feel like playing against another human. This change was inspired by player feedback during the game’s early access period. Players were asking for a harder challenge, so the developers created this new mode.
The game’s representative told GamesRadar that one of the team members came up with the idea for the new AI behavior. They’re confident that the Extreme mode will provide a unique experience for players.
Balancing Challenge and Accessibility
The Extreme difficulty isn’t available from the start. Players need to complete the game once to unlock it. The game’s difficulty will increase gradually as players progress through the story. The developers want to make sure the game is fun for everyone, so they’ve included adjustable difficulty settings and a long tutorial to help new players learn the ropes.
The tutorial is designed to be engaging, with a storyline that makes learning the game’s mechanics more enjoyable. S-Games believes that accessibility is important, and they’re committed to making the game enjoyable for players of all skill levels.
Release Plans
Phantom Blade Zero is set to be released on PC and PlayStation 5 later this year. The exact release date will be announced in the future.
