It is recommended that casual players set their difficulty to either Story Time or Easy to be able to enjoy their playthrough. Normal or Hard difficulty is recommended for players with experience in other similar Action RPG games. Path of the Damned tests the perseverance of those who are looking for a challenge.
If you find the game too easy or difficult and want to change the difficulty, open the Pause Menu and go to Settings. Go to the Game tab, where you will see General Game Settings. Proceed to Difficulty, where you can set your preferred difficulty. Players may change the difficulty setting at any point in the game.
Players may unlock an achievement upon completing the whole game in the hardest difficulty, Path of the Damned. Note that lowering the difficulty at any point during your playthrough will invalidate your eligibility for the achievement.
