Choosing the Right Difficulty Level - hyvanmielenpelit/GnollHack GitHub Wiki
GnollHack has 7 difficulty levels:
- Standard — You are new to GnollHack
- Experienced — You have some experience with GnollHack
- Adept — You are averagely experienced in GnollHack
- Veteran — You have lots of experience with GnollHack
- Expert – You are expert at GnollHack
- Master — You are a GnollHack professional
- Grand Master (Difficulty) — You are a GnollHack professional looking for ultimate challenge
If you are new to GnollHack and NetHack, we recommend starting with the Standard difficulty.
If you are a NetHack veteran but new to GnollHack, we recommend starting with a difficulty between Experienced and Expert. Easier difficulties allow you to learn new mechanics and mitigate some of the additional hardships that come from not being familiar with them. Even though the Expert difficulty has an unadjusted combat difficulty, it can feel more intense than NetHack especially in the end game. Therefore, starting with one of the easier difficulties can be a good choice until you become familiar with the new mechanics in GnollHack.
