Pathways into Darkness doesn't have a ton of difficulty options like some modern games, but the one you choose really does change how you'll play. It affects how tough the enemies are, how much damage they dish out, and sometimes even how often you'll find yourself scrambling for ammo or health.

We'll walk through what each setting generally means so you can pick the one that's best for you. Don't worry, we're not going to judge, and there's no shame in starting on an easier setting to get the hang of things. The most important thing is to have fun exploring the Sun વિના of the Ancients!
