Good eye! It is made by Soleil (Itagaki’s studio) and you’re correct in assuming enemies aren’t as aggressive in general; however, in this particular clip, the grenades the boss keeps tossing from off screen and the multiple group knockdowns/finishers here make them look more docile than they actually are. If I miss the gun counter at the beginning, or if I don’t have enough meter to execute the gun takedown near the end, the encounter was gonna look much different.
The one enemy left near the end did not attack because I killed enough to trigger a cut scene. He comes after me after it ends.
In terms of difficulty, I’m playing on normal here, and I have died a lot so far, but this could be due to my general discomfort with aiming and gun-based combat in most games, so your milage may vary there. Also Hard difficulty is unlocked from the get-go, so the option is available.
Ah, that makes sense! Damn I wish Itagaki was still with us. That might make me actually wishlist this game, though. I played Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time recently (also by Soleil, the last game Itagaki was involved in) and was pretty positively surprised by it.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Gives me Ninja Gaiden 2 vibes, only with less aggressive enemies.
