hey guys
I modded the files a little because i think the difficulty is kinda not changeable.
for me its too easy OR impossible
When you set the game on hard, its harder, but you you will never escape again once you lost your shield bar because you need 10times longer for the button-mashing to get up than you have time
So I tweaked the files a little that you can escape in most situation (specially when you are knocked down without shield you will always have enough time escape now) but the monsters deal good damage to the shield now. when you lost about half of the shield you will have to fight get free
just paste the "save" file in the folder of the game but if you have your own saves already better copy them before
however just wanted to share it, when at least 1 can have fun with it its worth it i guess
