NotesAccessibility Notes

There is a Story Mode difficulty you can select to reduce the damage the enemy causes and lower their aggression and health. In multiplayer, the game tracks how well players are doing and changes enemy aggression dynamically based on that. This way good players will have more enemies attacking them, and less skilled players are given an easier time with the fights. This is a behind-the-scenes feature and cannot be toggled.

The game is intentionally difficult, so we implement role-play advancement mechanics which enable players to over-level and overcome the game's difficulty curve. This takes time and repetition but aims to lower unintended barriers.

Although you can't save mid-level there are generous checkpoints. If you die, we teleport you back to the checkpoint with all your health restored, and any gold you got is retained. For typical players, checkpoints typically happen after about 2-3 or so minutes of play, so you lose very little progress when you die.

The game is visually designed to make it obvious what is interactable, and what isn't.

Low Vision Onboarding: The first time you open the game, the default text is high contrast and font size is at least 1/20 (46 pixels on 1080 screen) the height of the screen and in an easy to read font. This enables legally blind visually impaired players to get ready to play.

Assistance Getting Starting

These features aid your play of the game in terms of cognitive load on learning controls, dealing with pressure and coping with the environment and challenges.

Tutorials: There are helpful tutorials and instructions on how to play. Information is provided in a timely manner, with appropriate level of detail.

Practice Area: You can practice freely without opponents or time pressures. This can be a specific practice option, or the ability to play levels with the easiest opponents to improve understanding and skill.

Assisted Progress With Boosts: If you fail frequently the game automatically gets easier to ease the likelihood of failure. Or there’s an option to start this happening, like giving more health, lives or power each time you fail. Sometimes called Rubber Banding.
