Difficulty

Difficulty in Derail Valley is defined by many individual parameters that are collectively called presets. The parameters may be viewed in a difficulty editor accessible in the “sessions” section of the main menu, where they are described in more detail via hover tooltips.

There are three default difficulty presets included with the game. They are each designed to provide a different experience:

• Comfort - Relaxed, forgiving and allowing various comfort features and aids.

• Standard - Challenging and dynamic, requiring thinking, but not too punishing.

• Realistic - Difficult and unforgiving, requiring a high level of focus.

The users may create and share their own difficulty presets too.

Difficulty can be changed at any point during a session, but in order to use custom difficulty presets in career mode , the users must first unlock one of the starting licenses , CCUR1 or LONG1.
