Do You Level up in Outward?

So, no, there's no leveling up in the game. Instead, you're meant to scrimp and save until you have enough to go to a trainer and buy boons that do a variety of things. In your starting village, the trainer's boon increases your health, magic, and stamina pools.

Is outward difficult?

Outward is not a mainstream role-playing game. Its world embraces brutal difficulty, to the point in which just carrying a basic set of armor, a weapon, and the gear you need to survive is a challenge. The map doesn't point you into any direction, and even the weakest foes can be lethal.

How many skill points do you get in outward?

Getting Skill Points

There's not actually any way to get additional Points in Outward. Every character gets three to spend on Breakthrough skills (alongside the 500 silver you need for each skill), and that's it.
