I was wondering what the official line for the in game cheats is for this title. I ask because the cheats that the game makes available do not disable achievements or trophies on the file they are used, so I wonder if the game developer included them as 'okay' tools.

What is the stance of the moderators here on the viability of runs that use these tools?

I would say that we should make categories for with and without cheats for game categories.

I think that any 'cheat' categories should exclude the debug mode cheat (which gives you access to every map in the game) and the 'Attacks Pass Through the Bard' cheat. But, things like 'God Mode' or 'Everything' or 'x100 Damage' are pretty okay for runs that actually would be fun to play or watch.

I agree
