*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is a challenging game that doesn't hold your hand, and you might be wondering if there's a way to adjust the difficulty settings. Here's everything you need to know about it.
Unfortunately, the answer is no. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 does not offer any difficulty settings. You're locked into the game's single default difficulty level, which means you can't tweak it to make the game easier or harder.
However, the game does become more manageable as you get accustomed to its mechanics. Here are some tips to help you navigate the game more easily:
Get a bed ASAP: Early on, secure a place to sleep. This not only allows you to save your game but also helps you recover health. Sleeping is also a good way to avoid the dangers of nighttime exploration.
Follow the main questline starting with Wedding Crashers: This questline introduces you to the game's basics and rewards you with Groschen, which you can use to purchase essential items and weapons.
Save your game often: Use Saviour Schnapps to save your progress while exploring the open world. The game auto-saves at quest checkpoints, but manual saves are crucial for safety.
For those seeking an even greater challenge, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has Hardcore Mode on its roadmap. This mode will be added via an update shortly after the game's release. Hardcore Mode will increase the difficulty by making enemies tougher and starting you off with a negative perk.
Keep in mind, once you start a Hardcore playthrough, you won't be able to change the difficulty settings during your playthrough.
