Stranger Than Heaven offers optional combat assists.

Combat in Stranger Than Heaven asks players to handle attacks from each hand separately while staying ready to block or evade. For beginners who struggle with blocking, support features can let them clear encounters with basic left- and right-hand punches. Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto says wearable assist items are available from the start; they can automatically restore health and make players harder to defeat. They’re visible to anyone watching gameplay, so the assist isn’t something to sneak in unnoticed. And it doesn’t flatten the difficulty curve: Sakamoto describes the game’s highest setting as “extremely challenging.”
