How to Change Difficulty Settings in SMT: Strange Journey Redux

Recommended Videos

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux is a remaster of the DS game with updated visuals, systems, and endings. As you might expect from your typical SMT game, Strange Journey Redux is a pretty tough dungeon-crawling RPG, and you can very easily get wiped out by regular enemies if you’re not careful, or if you fail to exploit their enemies effectively. Thankfully, you will be able to change the game difficulty whenever you want.

When starting a new game, you’ll be able to choose between Casual, Standard, and Expert difficulty settings. Once you get into the game, you can also adjust the difficulty whenever things get too hard. Simply open the menu with the Y button, go into the System menu, then select Config. From here, look for the difficulty slider, and press the L and R buttons to select the setting you want. Once you’ve made your changes, the game will save it automatically. The three settings will not affect your story progress at all, and you don’t have to worry about getting locked out of certain endings if you’re playing on a lower setting.

Once you feel like you’re ready to tackle the game at its standard level of challenge, you can up the ante from the menu again.
