Hampered by too many enemy difficulty settings
Reviewed By: ifightdragons on 07 Nov 2021It introduces tons of welcome QOL changes, but also forces harder enemies and bosses. The few changes that make enemies and bosses harder, should be optional. All the other changes are very welcome.
Doing this would ensure absolutely anyone can enjoy this potentially fantastic hack.
