Module Features
This mod enhances the difficulty of the game by further expanding enemy attributes in all NG+ cycles, beyond the original difficulty setting.
The author feels this is an extremely fair challenge - although more difficult, it won't be impossible for experienced players to complete.
Main changes
🌟 **Basic Game**: Enemy difficulty increased by 20% (increased health, damage and defense)
🌟 **NG+ Difficulty Scaling**: Each NG+ cycle gradually becomes more difficult
🌟 **More Punishing Combat**: Enemies deal more damage, last longer, and require more skill to overcome, especially in DLC
🌟 **Run multiplier increases**: The rune multiplier also increases accordingly. If you encounter great difficulties, you can upgrade at any time.
🌟 **BALANCED CHALLENGE**: No artificial difficulty spikes – just a refined, rewarding hardcore experience

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
