Ultimaniac is an interesting survival mode. I liked it more than Kairos. You replay old missions, but there are no potions scattered around the levels, their number is initially strictly set from the very beginning of the mission. Weapons and equipment, except for accessories, also cannot be selected, chosen for you. In essence, this mode without mods is quite simple, a literal nothingburger. With mods on PC you can make it interesting and feel survival challenge.

Kairos Gate is a Bloody Palace (DMC) or Angel Slayer (Bayonetta) - style mode, but it only has 20 levels, which is fucking pathetic. It's closer to Angel Slayer, which is not a compliment. Between levels, you can buy upgrades to boost Clive's abilities and stats. Even though it sounds interesting on paper, it's actually pretty boring. Overall, people play Kairos for the S-rank, since the mode itself isn't difficult to clear. It's a hunt for achievements.
