Remedy Entertainment has published an official blog post revealing details about the difficulty adjustment features—including accessibility support—for the action-adventure RPG sequel *CONTROL Resonant*.
A wide range of customization options for a tailored gaming experience
The game’s difficulty adjustment system is reportedly implemented as a control panel that allows for more granular adjustments than the preset-based systems traditionally considered standard.The developers state that they have also considered expanding accessibility for players with physical disabilities, allowing individual players to customize various settings—such as enemy aggression, the window for performing “just dodges,” and enemy projectile speed—to suit their specific needs and limitations.
The damage system has also been overhauled, allowing players to adjust damage taken, damage dealt, and stun values. The developers state that these settings are designed to let players fully experience their own growth while minimizing unreasonable difficulty and frustration as much as possible.Additionally, players can adjust settings such as the recovery speed of supernatural abilities and the degree to which attack animations lock onto targets.
Depending on your adjustments, you can even make the game more challenging! Of course, preset options are also available.
However, to avoid pushing difficulty adjustments to the forefront right from the start of the game—before players have even had a chance to explore the system—the developers have included preset difficulty options.Since individual settings can also be adjusted during gameplay, the developers recommend that players wait until they’ve gotten a feel for the combat rhythm before making changes. Furthermore, for players seeking an even greater challenge, each adjustment option can be set to a higher difficulty level than the default.
In addition to key configuration, a wide range of settings—including graphics, sound, and accessibility options—are available.
"CONTROL Resonant" is scheduled for release on September 24 for PC (Steam/Epic Games Store/Microsoft Store),PS5, andXBOX Series X|S.
