You ought to give it a shot a again. I am another one of those people that didn't really have any difficulty with the game outside of one boss fight. I am usually not that great at games like this either. I jumped right into Hard and beat that on my first playthrough and then hopped on Normal for the speedrun. The only issue I really had with the game was the horrible in-game map and how hard it was to find and keep track of the collectibles. Thanks for the reminder. I've been cleaning up a lot of games recently, and this one was completely out of my memory. Now, it's back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowlliet Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Not that hard! I even did the speedrun on my 2nd playthrough on Hard diff but I can see some places where somebody could have problems. If you're used to some castlevanias/platformers, you'll breeze through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetalSarok Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Have to say I’m not particularity good at Metroidvania style games and platformers but I just thought this game was an absolute breeze, I think I know which bit you might of struggled with at the end of the lift section with the two brain walkers that just spam those homing ice missiles, it really wasn’t that hard, especially if you have been collecting upgrades through the game. I’m assuming the low completion percentage is down to the game being a free ps+ game a while back and most people not caring about trophies, I’d have to agree with the guides difficulty assessment of 3/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unebrion Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I came back to this after 6 and a half years. I don't think the game was difficult, but I also didn't think it was much fun. Very button mashy, but I'm glad it's finally complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depresso-cat Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I beat it today as well. I don't think it was hard at all, like 3/10 platinum difficulty. That being said, I did my first playthrough on hard, and it took me a while to get past very first area. I was like 'wth, did I get myself in trouble by starting this game?'. I'm a bit OCD about completing games. Anyway, it got easier quick, and speedrun on normal was a breeze (did it in 3 hours, and I'm slow). One thing I wish I was aware before starting the game, is to keep track of large health container pickups. I spent obscene amount of time revisiting areas because i was afraid I missed some (I didn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yojimbo87x Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 So I just started my first playthrough on Easy for the collectibles, story,and learning boss strats-just wanted to ask about backtracking lol I know theres an air drop in the very first stage and wanted to know when and how do you get back there? And I'm guessing theres portals that allow it as well? I'm still way in the beginning-just finished the third boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil757 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I have the plat to this and don't remember anything difficult. I do play a lot of retro games though and it's definitely like those. Easy modern games that hand hold and let you get the platinum on easy = worse gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, there'll be plenty of backtracking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to board the Balrog (cheeky SF reference Capcom) and guessing thats the point of no return? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMMOTHYY Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I was stressed out about Hard Mode that I didn't even touch it after beating the game on Normal. Turns out you're just mashing Square a lot more to get through enemies. The really annoying part about Hard Mode is traversing older areas to find collectables. Getting pot shot or knocked down by random enemies is really annoying. Getting all the upgrades almost made the game like Normal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
