[h3]Gameplay Difficulty in Sherwood Builders[/h3]

Many games don't manage their difficulty design in a fair way, especially when it comes to combat. This is mostly done by having the difficulty setting modify the stats of characters and creating so-called damage sponges – enemies who force you into a slog of being battered for a long period of time until they're finally defeated. While at it, the fight doesn't offer much in the way of new combat gameplay and only either shorterns or lengthens the loop that's already in place.

We wanted a different approach, one that would address gameplay challenge through combat and, consequently, actually mean something to the player. And so, the three different difficulty levels of Sherwood Builders: Rogue, Outlaw, and Legend affect the way enemies behave alongside several other combat-related conditions:

• Damage caused by enemies
  
• Frequency of enemy attacks
  
• Number of enemies willing to attack at the same time
  
• Chances of various enemy responses, such as blocking and dodging
  
• The rate at which Robin gets fatigued by fighting
  
• The timing window for the player to parry attacks
  
• Item drop chances
  

With these solutions combined, we intend for the game difficulty to engage the player's skills, reward how much practice they've had with the game, and how great a challenge they wish to face as they complete the quests and follow the story.
