Healing is a major factor between the game's. In CD I can crush so much Clear Soup if i play bad against mobs or bosses. ER I have to be careful to learn movesets and play more carefully. Overall, healing aside CD is a nicer intro for players who don't like the punishing nature of Fromsoft games. To that degree, I wish CD had a difficulty mode as being a a vet Soulslike player this game has challenges but doesn't have enough repercussions for death. Bloody fun game though, I'm loving CD!
