Among the many reasons that have made Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 famous there is also its demanding level of challenge which, if you want, can become even higher with the new update arriving.
Or more affordable, as Sandfall Interactive explains in its note relating to the update 1.3.0 of the French Jrpg that has become a cult.
Sandfall Interactive developers have decided to respond to both needs with a patch that completely redefines the approach to the difficulty of their title (via PCGamesn).
The philosophy behind this update is clear: to offer every type of player the tools to personalize his own experience according to his preferences.
The story mode undergoes a radical transformation that makes it more accessible than ever. The temporal windows to perform parades and dodges have been expanded by 40%, a substantial modification that also allows players less experienced to master the combat mechanisms. In parallel, the damage suffered by the enemies are reduced to a scissor ranging between 10% and 50%, guaranteeing more fluid progressions through the narration of the game.
Those looking for the adrenaline of combat impossible will find bread for their teeth thanks to the new challenge modifiers introduced by the third act onwards. These tools, accessible through checkpoints marked by the flags, allow you to radically transform the game experience. The maximum damage inflicted by the players can be limited to 99,999 or 999,999 points, effectively neutralizing those devastating combinations that could break the balance of the game.
But it is on the front of the enemy resistance that modifiers show their true destructive potential. The life points of the opponents can be multiplied by factors ranging from two up to a hundred times the original value. Imagine facing an enemy who normally requires a few minutes to be defeated and find it in front of it with a hundred resistance: only the most tenacious will dare to go to these extremes.
The update also introduces the possibility of facing Simon again, one of the most fearsome bosses of the entire game. The complete notes of patch 1.3.0 are already available on official channels, and the update is active for all owners of the game.
Clair Obscur’s developers always show themselves very attentive to their title, demonstrating once again how success has not changed them.
