Tails 6,692 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Wow, for once Critical Mode is actually a challenge in KH3D. i just started critical Mode and i must say, I'm a little shocked yet very impressed at the same time. I'm actually stuck on a boss (Hockomokey). Birth by Sleep and Re: Coded's Critical Mode wasn't much of a challenge. They felt like Proud Mode only with less health to me. But KH3D Critical Mode is actually hard like it should be. What do you guys think of KH3D's Critical Mode?

Ven983 490 Posted August 18, 2012 I am dying! Every time I enter a link portal I have to jump or get away immediately otherwise I am destroyed! Anyone who is trying a level 1 run through is not going to make much progress! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speed 37 Posted August 18, 2012 I was surprised at how much harder it was than BBS's Critical Mode. For me, BBS's Critical Mode was actually easier than Proud Mode because of extra deck commands. Unfortunately I was not patient enough to play Re: Coded through on Critical. 1 DarkRealm20 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Survive. im scared, i rather just play Proud Mode now ;_; the previous KH games have aways seem easy on the hardest mode. Be afraid...be VERY afraid muahaha. Lol jk, anyway don't be afraid of the challenge. Challenges are what make things more interesting and fun. The first bosses? Pffft. Easy. Wait till you get to the final ones, lol. Looking forward to it then. They were just too easy on Proud Edited August 18, 2012 by Tails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caity 3,946 Posted August 18, 2012 This is the first game i've actually started playing on Proud mode first (as oppose to standard first so when I do play proud I ain't playing blind) and to be honest i've found easier than I would have expected. I'd actually compare it with BBS on standard. Then again, since I go around looking for treasure chests and stuff I normally end up 5 levels above the minimum combat level in a world. The most i've died is the life cycle for riku (i'm terrible at racing games), in battle i've probably struggled/died 3 or 4 times just (I still have two worlds to go though, unlocking my spirits hidden paths first) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted August 18, 2012 Whenever I decide to stop being lazy and play KH3D on critical.....I will further confirm this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who is trying a level 1 run through is not going to make much progress! I'm on the final boss doing a level 1 critical mode run. I also decided to stick with using the original keyblades too. Can't count how many times I've died doing this run though. Edited August 18, 2012 by Rayne the Relentless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2,990 Posted August 18, 2012 It's so freaking hard. I blazed through both standard and proud, but this... this is just insane. I'm only at The Grid, and I've already died more times than I can count (especially in Special Portals) Some normal DE's can one-hit KO you, almost. It's crazy.

Rayne the Relentless 14 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) well for starters SCREW THE ATTACK COMMANDS DOESNT MATTER IF THE FIGHT LAST 20 MINS JUST LOAD IT WITH CURE(A)(GA) AND POTIONS AND SUCH I think the point of Critical Mode is learning to survive. I will admit it is frustrating but I learned to get through it with only one cura in my deck. Later bosses trying to use normal attacks won't get your very far, well.. I don't know if I can vouch for that since I'm as weak as you could possibly be. Am I the only who isnt getting a challenge? O.o I don't think Critical Mode is necessarily the challenge. I think the challenge is in how much you limit yourself. Edited August 18, 2012 by Rayne the Relentless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tails 6,692 Posted August 18, 2012 Am I the only who isnt getting a challenge? O.o Well, I am at currently at Hockomonkey (taking a little break since i died 4 times from the boss so far) so i haven't gotten that far into the game yet to see how challenging Critical mode is in all the other worlds. But I may be losing because of the fact that this is the beginning part of the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schlosserm 8 Posted August 18, 2012 Thanx god this is the hardest KH at the date. Tips mmm Second chance and one more? 2 cures, BALOON, BALOON MAKES MIRACLES. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzie1238 538 Posted August 18, 2012 Before this game came out in English, didn't people who had played the Japanese version say it was the hardest KH game? Because it seems like everyone here is saying "Lol, it's so easy!" And it's actually not any easier OR harder than any other KH game IMO, I find them all the same.
