Below Announces Release Date For PS4 Version And Explore Mode Update For Easier Adventuring-December 2024

Dec 22, 2024 12:37 AM

　　Below, Capy's unrelentingly difficult 2018 roguelike exploration title, is coming to PlayStation 4 on April 7 for $25. As previously announced, it'll come with a new mode that will make the game more palatable for players who did not enjoy the level of challenge offered up in the original release, and Xbox One and PC players will get that mode as well in a free update.

　　Explore mode will lower the game's difficulty without eliminating it, so players should still find it challenging--just not quite as difficult as the default mode (now called Survive mode).

　　Here's the full list of changes in Explore mode, as outlined on Capy's website:

Changes to Survival

No Hunger or ThirstCan’t drink puddles or bottlesBottles still need to be filled with water for cooking soupSoups restore healthDeath’s door teleport to island Avoids the issue of jumping down without enough lamp juice to open the door

World Entity changes

Fire Pillars Chance to drop embersFires don’t burn out until you dieInvincible, can’t be broken with bombsNo one-hit deathsNo iron maiden

EXPLORE Damage Changes

All damage is bleed damage, giving the player time to stop the bleedingEXPLORE Checkpoints/Campfires Don’t clear after useStill only one active at a time

Mode-specific Saves

Explore mode has the potential to mitigate some of these complaints. It was initially available on Xbox Game Pass, but has since left the service.
