I feel like sometimes the game doesn’t feel hard enough. It sometimes needs a little extra spice, and a little more challenge in it. So that’s why I’m introducing and without mentioning Ironman…
Drum roll, please!
HARDCORE MODE
What and How would it work? Glad you asked curious user!
Now Hardcore mode is basically a NEW skill difficulty that adds even more of a challenge to the game! Here’s what it would look like in the shop
All of this was hand drawn by me, please I worked very hard on this
Here’s what Hardcore difficulty’s stat bonuses would look like (The price is just Virtuoso and Superstar Hero combined, btw)
- +50% Mission difficulty
- +45% Faster projectiles
- +350% Scoring
- +20% Chicken health
- +50% Boss health
- -10% All weapon damage (Damage reduction for certain weapons from bosses also increased)
- Massively improved key drop rate
Why I think this would be a great addition
Now, for some people the game gets pretty boring, when you know every wave, know what to do and what weapon to use for every boss, know how every chicken works (That’s basically me), so Hardcore skill difficulty is here to aim to resolve that problem
Now, since of this difficulty’s extreme danger in it, you can only use it in multiplayer if another player has Hardcore skill difficulty equipped, then they can join you!
Some extra art I did of Hardcore
If difficulties had faces, this is what Hardcore would look like
Again hand drawn by me, I cooked on this and I know it
And that’s pretty much it for this topic! I’ve been dreaming of having new difficulties even in the singleplayer games like CI4 and 5, which it would honestly work better there
Little extra’s that didn’t make the cut
For all of the spacecraft’s you could equip more satellites. You can only get them in-game and can’t equip them from the menu (2 for certain ships (VF-76, BX-9 Mjolnier, M408 Cusinier, etc.) or only 1 extra)
Hardcore difficulty would scale based on how many players there are in-game. For each players everything would scale by 5% (plus and minus included). Won’t affect key drop rate, like how it’'s always been with the rest
Lobbies with the Hardcore skill would be restricted to you, unless you also have Hardcore skill equipped. It would have the same red text message pop up when you can’t join a game, because you’re not in someone’s contact list
Which would you prefer? Custom icon or scaling speedometer looking thingy instead?
That’s all for today, no credits, because I came up with the idea myself
Thank you for reading!
