Three difficulty choices
Beast of Reincarnation offers Story, Normal, and Hard. The combat system remains centered on real-time katana actions, parry-generated FP, and Koo's commands. Difficulty changes how demanding that loop feels.
- Story for a more forgiving learning environment
- Normal as the middle option
- Hard for players seeking the strictest of the three listed settings
What Story mode changes
Two Story modifiers are confirmed: the parry window is wider and enemy damage is reduced. The same core systems remain active, so players still learn timing, FP generation, Koo commands, and finishers with more room for mistakes.
- More forgiving parry timing
- Lower incoming enemy damage
- No published percentages in the checked sources
What remains unconfirmed
The source pack does not confirm whether difficulty can be changed during a playthrough. It also does not provide the full numeric differences for Normal and Hard or say that Hard adds new attacks. Check the in-game settings rather than relying on assumptions.
Which mode fits your goal
Choose Story if parry timing is new or you want to focus on Emma and Koo's story. Choose Normal for the middle option without unverified claims about exact tuning. Choose Hard if repeated practice and a stricter opening experience are the reason you are playing.
