Is Capcom’s latest Resident Evil remake too easy for you? Well, this new nightmare mod makes the game vastly more difficult.
Let’s start off by saying that I’m no hero when it comes to Resident Evil games. I usually play these games on standard difficulty and can be quite content upon finishing them. Of course, there are some who prefer an actual challenge. For those players, Capcom has created the ‘Hardcore’ and ‘Professional’ difficulty levels, which make enemies stronger and increased item cost. In addition, the Professional difficulty doesn’t offer an autosave, and the parry skill is limited.
Then we a selected few who are looking for an even tougher gameplay experience. Luckily, those can now make their way through rural Spain in nightmare mode. Created by modder ‘Multi’, this Resident Evil 4 Remake Nightmare mod vastly increases the game’s difficulty by making changes to various gameplay features, including changes to enemy damage, increased merchant prices, item changes, decreased item value, and more.
The modder advises using this mod when starting a new game without having any bonuses applied. Those looking for a real struggle to be able to beat the game are advised to use this mod while playing in Hardcore or Professional mode. We’ve included some of the key changes included with this mod below. More changes could be made in an upcoming version of this mod.
Resident Evil 4 Remake Nightmare mod key features:
- Nearly all Merchant purchase prices have been doubled
