Batman: Arkham City is one of the greatest games every made, but it's not really known for being super challenging. But what happens when we install a new difficulty mod that specifically makes the game MUCH harder? Will we still be able to beat the entirety of Arkham City's main story? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ascension Overhaul is the first ever Batman: Arkham City difficulty mod, adding four new difficulty levels to the game: Regular For players who want a more casual playthrough experiencing all the gameplay changes. Insane Recommended difficulty for players experienced with the Arkham franchise and looking for a challenge. Chaos Only for the bravest. Ascension Plus (New Game Plus) The hardest difficulty with attack indicators removed. Higher level enemies appear from the start and all gadgets and upgrades will carry over to New Game Plus. Features of the mod: - Overhauled upgrade system ¬ Power Gadgets now function as Special Combo Moves similar to Arkham Knight ¬ Removed armour upgrades for Batman ¬ Earlier access to certain upgrades ¬ Multi-ground takedown ability removed (balancing) ¬ Batclaw weapon disarm ability removed (balancing) - Gliding and grapnel boost speeds adjusted and more in line with Arkham Knight - New death tips and UI text in-game to assist you on your journey ¬ Earlier access to certain upgrades - Combat and gadget adjustments ¬ Decreased Bat Swarm radius and damage ¬ Adjusted damage and stun values of various moves ¬ Increased speed of various slow actions to compensate for faster enemies (Beatdown, Ground Takedowns etc.) ¬ Small adjustments to other gadgets - Enemies are more brutal and intelligent - Increased Titan control time - Bosses are more aggressive - Many more adjustments to discover Extra Notes from GPUnity: - Thug strike damage is minimal in the beginning of "Regular" and "Insane" campaigns, but will go up as you progress through the game. This is down to the game's design and is something I can't circumvent. - Removal of armour upgrades is mainly due to lack of boss damage control. The damage values of certain boss actions cannot be increased. - Health bar of certain bosses may not appear correctly, but is functioning as intended. This is due to the updated health values scaling beyond the viewable health bar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to try this mod out for yourself, go to this link and follow the instructions to install the Arkham City Ascension Overhaul! https://www.nexusmods.com/batmanarkhamcity/mods/560 Again, another HUGE shoutout to @GPUnity, the creator of this difficulty mod, go support him because he does great work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this challenge run, here's some of my other videos that you should definitely check out!
