    • Pressing the Action Order once sends the order to every selected Guardian

How does the Difficulty System work?

  • When creating a New Game, the game asks you to pick a difficulty level.

  • Difficulty can be changed in the Level Selection screen.

  • Difficulty can also be changed in-game but only by being decreased.

You can switch from “Master” to “Shaper” but you cannot switch from “Shaper” to “Master” without resetting the level.

When you finish a level in a difficulty, your score is applied to every lower difficulty :

  • If you finish a level with an A in “Master”, you get also an A in “Shaper” and “Apprentice” difficulty as well.

  • The Level Selection Screen shows you which level you finished in which difficulty.

  • Achievements are not impacted by the selected difficulty. You can get every achievement of the game in “Apprentice” mode.
