X8 Demake Touch Mod v1.5.3- "Icarus Armor Only + Hard Mode" Request Run (v1.5.3 Changelog in Desc.)

Описание: Hey all! Was asked to do an Icarus armor only run and I decided to give it a little extra spice by playing on Hard this time. Took longer than I would've liked cuz, surprise surprise, if base X sucks in Normal of course he's gonna suck harder in Hard+ (hah), but my indecisiveness on certain things definitely didn't help shorten the run any. Still tried to do my usual thing of grabbing everything I could, even if it meant temporary switches to the others. It was a pleasant surprise seeing all 4 sub tanks could be acquired in Hard mode as I could've sworn it was capped at 2 so this must've been a prior change (and another reason why Hard is probably the "ideal" difficulty with the current character power level).

Unpleasantly though, Vile has the random lightning from Insanity+ on Hard as well. Whether this was always the case or not, I couldn't tell you. What I CAN tell you though is that this dumbahh DM phase being modified in Hard+ is why Icarus only sucks, as there's basically no consistent method to dodge the lightning so forced damage is common. That also makes the Awakened Vile fight too much of a headache to do so I just gave up on that immediately. If you have an issue with it...get bent, do your own Icarus only run on Hard+ and spend all your time on single fight. Your content, not mine.

Anyways, for those of you who are observant, you may have noticed this title says ".3" instead ".2" which means that yes, there was another Touch Mod update. No, it's not really anything major outside of potential bug fixes and, for some reason, balance changes for the "cheater" forms. Why you would go out of the way to "balance" some intentionally broken meme forms is beyond my understanding, but hey, go crazy ig. Here's some (presumably) translated descriptions of the changes:

"1.5.3 is out
And it contains mostly bugfixes
Future updates are unlikely to be very important unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Some have said that cheat characters are too strong and need nerfing; otherwise, they wouldn't be cheat characters.
Sigma's Greatsword hasn't been nerfed yet.
X and Axl's weapon wheels have been replaced with the same ones as Zero's, so there shouldn't be any more issues with characters automatically switching weapons at high speeds.
The issue of Zero switching weapons while attacking has been fixed. Infinite X no longer experiences frame rate glitches (special weapon energy, flight, Shadow Giga, etc.). Hitting a wall while flying in Infinite X no longer cancels flight.
Infinite X no longer changes its idle animation after recovering from low health.
Cheat Axl's defense has been reduced to 80.
Cheat Axl's damage increase method has been changed (in the old version, you'd see dmg_multiplikator = 1.02 in the files, which might have led people to believe it was only a massive 2% damage increase).
The prologue character selection screen now allows you to toggle Beta Zero, Floppa Axl, and cheat modes on and off (but not with a controller).
The movement speed of the enhanced awakened Geralt boss has been increased (actually, you can just hold down the Giga ultimate button to enter the portal on mobile; the portal needs to be dismantled because touch input will disconnect on mobile).
Regarding the bug where characters die upon switching characters, it's highly unlikely to be fixed.
In the Sigma Greatsword area and the lava area of ​​the space station, your foreground character might appear fine, but the background character might have been gone for a while."

There you have it. Hope you all enjoy, and I'll see you next time.
