I am on hardcore with a Scald. It seemed easy until the 1st boss. The areas after this seem pretty hard, but I'm just a few hours in. Though I have to admit that the Armoured Princess seemed more difficult and I recall having to choose fights very carefully.
The massive writing errors are annoying. It's like they translated everything on the very last week. Otherwise the story is nice. I like the sense of adventure and discovery of a young Viking chief who is forced to leave his tiny home
