The description literally states 'virtually impossible on your own', which in this case means 'if you're playing solo, expect to have to take on about 10-15 difficult enemies in one tiny room and get crushed' Seriously, 20 odd floors of Hunter or Surprise mode on Expert is damn near suicidal, and 25 floors of Rush mode is basically a death wish. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has Normal, Hard, and Expert, the last of which fits this to a tee.And Mega Man Zero: where Hard Mode means no Cyber Elves, no charge shot, and you take double damage from everything.Beat that, and you unlock Very Hard Mode. Beat Mega Man Legends 2 once and you unlock Hard Mode.note With handy invincibility frames, too! From Mode is basically Hard Mode, but Spelunker Mode ramps it up so you die in one hit, enemies are harder to kill, and you die when you dash into a wall. 3D Dot Game Heroes has standard mode, From Mode, and Spelunker Mode.'Insanity' manages to top that by making your character a One-Hit-Point Wonder. As an extra difficulty, it also has 'Masterful' which is Nintendo Hard to the extreme.

An Untitled Story has 'Simple', 'Regular', and 'Difficult'.They may even go so far as to explicitly indicate that the game was not adequately play-tested, or might be unwinnable at that setting, or some blood-curdling warning along the lines of 'don't play this'. Other times, this mode isn't even supposed to be fair, and the developers may warn the player, depending on whether or not they feel like being cruel. Games that are more skill based and want to encourage player improvement will stress that this difficulty is gruelling, but not impossible, and that you will need to bring your best skills forward if you want to succeed. How 'fair' this difficulty mode is depends on the game. Oftentimes this is unlocked by beating the game on the lower 'hard' difficulty. If the game describes how each difficulty mode works, its explanation will often be an inversion of Surprise Difficulty, in that the game makes clear just how hard things are going to get. To qualify for this trope, the difficulty level needs to be above any lower existing 'hard' difficulty, and of course, be extremely difficult. Harder Than Hard mode is a Difficulty Level that's exactly what it sounds like: a mode intended only for the most skilled players who are looking for the toughest challenge the game has to offer.
