Difficulty System In Sea of Dreams Survivors, you have full control over how challenging you want the game to be. Choose between Easy, Normal, Heroic, and Legendary difficulties. Once you complete a level, an indicator shows which difficulty you’ve beaten it on—super helpful if you’re going for that sweet 100% completion!
