If there's one thing that you absolutely need to know about Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, it's that it has an incredibly high difficulty curve that's up there with some of the series' toughest games.

Belmont's Curse is so unbelievably tough that it might actually be enough to put some people off from experiencing what the brilliant game has to offer. Don't worry, though, as there's a workaround.

Although Belmont's Curse doesn't have any specific difficulty level options, it does have a Custom Mode that lets you tweak several balance elements. To access it, simply pause the game, go into the settings menu, select Gameplay, and then tick the box that says "Enable Custom Mode". You can turn it on or off at any time, as you're not locked into it.

Doing so will allow you to change adjust the difficulty of Belmont's Curse in many ways, although the game warns you against doing this since it may "negatively impact the gaming experience". It's not the way Evil Empire wanted you to play Belmont's Curse, but it does give you some control over how much you'll struggle against it.

Custom Mode doesn't affect trophies and achievements, so don't worry about missing anything if you activate it.
