Hello everyone! It’s been nearly two months since Beast of Reincarnation’s launch, and we’re very grateful to all of you who have played the game and taken time to share feedback. The team is still working on various fixes and adjustments, but today’s patch (#7) and it includes the following:
- Added new difficulty modes:
- Added "Very Hard" mode, which is more difficult than “Hard.”.
- Added "Ruthless" mode, where Emma dies instantly in a single hit, as a bonus challenge mode for players.
- Added increased difficulty options for New Game+:
- These options include "Hard", "Very Hard", and "Ruthless" modes for Reincarnation+.
- Note:
- The default difficulty of Reincarnation+ mode corresponds to "Normal."
- You can switch between difficulty modes at any time during gameplay.
- Overhauled the attack patterns for some Nushi variants.
- Updated some of Shidou's attack patterns, with further updates planned in future patches.
