8 More Video Game Difficulty Levels For The Criminally Insane

5. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Revengeance Mode

It’s pretty safe to say that the majority of the public were blown away when MGS Rising: Revengeance hit the shelves back in 2013 seeing as it was a complete inversion of the Metal Gear Traditions of sneaking and stealthing. Here it was cyborgs and slashing and thanks to the genius off the wall approach that Platinum Games always take with their games, and ended up being an absolute joy to play.

Assuming you were running the game on Normal difficulty that is.

For if you go through the game to unlock Revengeance difficulty mode (or just pop in the Konami code for a bit of a laugh) and decided to give it a whirl, Jeez you’ll be cut up quicker than a watermelon.

For a start the enemy placement has completely changed and they now do a whopping amount of damage that can pretty much one shot you, and when you consider how many foes are stabbing, shooting or trying to stomp on you at any given time, that’s utterly intense. Now add in the joy of doing next to no damage back to them and you’ve got a rough time.

What makes this mode stand out though is that there is a way to do TONNES of damage to enemies, but only if you can perfectly parry them. Doing this will see the tables turn and you deliver out enough damage to take down some bosses in one hit, but before you think of clipping on your metal jaw and giving it a go, just remember how hard it can be to nail those parries on just one enemy at a time. Yeah. Good luck.
