Platinum Games isn’t shy about crafting a punishing challenge, but the increasingly successful Japanese developer has a merciful heart under all the thorns. Just as Bayonetta had an Easy Automatic mode, balls-mental shooter Vanquish is getting Casual Auto for players who don’t want to think.
“Before we started work on it, I can’t say that I had high hopes; however, once we got it up and running, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was wrong,” explains director Shinji Mikami. “Once you get your target on the enemy, the rest is easy as pie. I’m sure saying it that way makes it sound totally uninteresting, but when you actually give it a shot, the tempo it gives the game play will make you jump up and say, ‘Woohoo!’,”
However, those who prefer to take it up a half step will be thrilled to know that God Hard mode can be unlocked, which presumably will be for the more masochistic gamers among us. Or God, I suppose.
