Fixed is somewhere between Normal and Hard.

There's Easy, Normal, and Hard, as well as "Fixed" mode that is like Normal but turns off critical hits and item drops, as they are random elements. You can select a "preset" difficulty mode that sets all of the fields below. An English version may or may not come out at some point. You can set the language to either Japanese or Engrish. If you want a challenge, the Hard Mode is quite tough, and the Hard Mode isn't even the most difficult configuration possible. I would compare it to Brutal Mario, if you have played that. It does not expect you to use save states or be some kind of ROM hack savant. And yet, the game has two pre-defined difficulty settings, and in my opinion, the Normal Mode hits the sweet spot it's more challenging than Mega Man 4, but without relying on artificial difficulty. The game has a fully customizable difficulty, so you can make it anything from effortlessly easy to nearly impossible. It works a few short comical scenes and references to other games seamlessly into its levels. They become extremely difficult, but not impossible, to hit in this state.

They also have custom AI patterns designed to counter the Rush Cannon (a one-hit-kill weapon) that they switch to when they equip it. Many of the bosses change their pattern when they go critical. There's at least one or two impressive new features on each level, and they're integrated into the game well. All of the weapons are powerful and fill different niches. It is a masterwork in terms of game design and ROM hacking.
