Difficulty Levels

Yandere Slayer! series features several different difficulty and play modes. This page lists all difficulties/playmodes accessible in-game.
==Normal difficultly levels==
By default, 4 difficulty levels are accessible from the start of the game: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, and Survivalist. Each level increases the threat level of enemies and decreases the availability of supplies.
==New Game+ difficulty levels/modes==
After completing the game at least once on any available difficulty, another, harder skill level becomes available. Several different playmodes are also unlocked and can be accessed at the New Game+ menu at the main menu screen.
Extreme
By far the (default) most difficult skill level playable in-game. Ammunition and resources becomes vastly more scarce compared to lower difficulties, Yanderes can now withstand much more punishment than before.
Completing Extreme mode grants Slayer's Amulet which can be used in upgrading.
===New Game+===
This allows you to start a new game with all of the inventory, weapons and suits from a previous save, this can be played at any normal difficulty level. 
====Nightmare mode====
In Nightmare mode, it's a permadeath mode with no saving and enemies are significantly more resilient to damage and hit much harder. Enemy AI is also more aggressive. If player dies, all progress lost.
Finishing this mode unlocks the experimental machine gun KAC ChainSAW Gun and most difficult permadeath mode Hardcore.
====Hardcore mode====
In Hardcore mode, same as Nightmare, but if the player dies outside of a Challenge Series for any reason they must restart the game from the beginning. Stars are left behind in the location of a player death as a progress marker, saving is disabled apart from an automatic save in between stages.
Clearing Hardcore Mode unlocks the experimental railgun Electromagnetic Cannon and highest and extremely difficult permadeath mode, Nightmare Realm.
====Yandere mode====
In this mode, combines the hardest and most difficult difficulty, Hardcore, with permadeath. This means that if you die in Yandere mode, your progress all will be lost and you will have to start over from the beginning. 
Completing Yandere mode unlocks the Free Hunting mode.
====Free Hunting====
In Free Hunting mode, allows the player to hunt down enemies or roam freely.
