Dark Souls games should be able to adjust difficulty.

Current Events

Define what difficulty means in this context.

Would an easy mode give the enemies lower health? Buff the player's damage/decrease incoming damage? Increase I-Frames for the player? Stamina is not affected by armor?

Its the same questions you have to answer when instituting a higher difficulty mode. Do you just decrease player damage or increase enemy health? Make AI smarter/more prone to mixing up their movesets? Fallen Order is in the broader Soulslike take but it makes parries more difficult, makes enemies more aggresive and increases damage taken.

Finding a balanced difficulty that remains challenging and fair within the confines of the difficulty of the gameplay is difficult.
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.
