Open exploration and day/night cycle are impressive for a nes game and it feels huge, the only problem is the obligatory money grind but otherwise it's superior to Castlevania 1.Only those brainwashed by the internet thinks it's anything below a 7/10
This action/exploration genre was all over the Famicom in 1987 in the wake of Zelda 2.Also Valkyrie no Boken (mid 1986) had day/night cycle and it was a smooth transition unlike Simon's Quest
Fuck off retard
This game SUCKS
The bosses are terrible when you finally find one
>>12052072What is this game? I can’t read moonrunes
>>12053924Bram Stoker's Dracula for Sega CD
>>12052072
>>12052072It needed some good boss fights.
>>12054012No joke, dude has great control.
>>12052080>in the wake of Zelda 2.Dragon Buster, arcade, 1985Tritorn, PC-88, 1985Xanadu, PC-88, 1985Romancia, PC-88, 1986Xanadu Scenario II, PC-88 1986
>>12054804I like Xanadu, but Simon’s Quest and other nes action-adventures are clearly more inspired by Zelda II than Xanadu specifically, including Faxanadu.
>>12054976shut the fuck up tendie retardso fucking tired of tendie revisionists always trying to make everything about tendie games cuz they never played other games
>>12055489Maze of Gallious came after Zelda II. I never said 100% Simon’s Quest was influenced by Zelda II, but it doesn’t seem unlikely, and it doesn’t change the fact that a lot of 1987 games were.
>>12055489>>12055497Also, just because something is inspired by one thing doesn’t mean it can’t be inspired by another. Maze of Goellius doesn’t have towns to visit and a variety of NPCs to talk to like Simon’s Quest or Zelda II (and no, I’m not saying Zelda II invented that, but it was really popular at the time). So I may have prescribed influence too quickly, but as a guy who’s not so big a fan of either of them, it seems reasonable that some guys at Konami would play the hottest game of the year and maybe get some ideas.
>>12052072>the only problem isthat the game has nothing interesting to offer, no interesting level, no interesting enemy design and no interesting overall game design. It's just stupid shit to do.
>>12055489Yeah man damn Nintendoooooo aahhhh
>>12056363What about its music? Bloody Tears?
>>12056742Music is good, but you don't need the actual game to enjoy it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIRE0AN3ofQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvFl7Ec-Gmw
Is ir worth going outside at night at all? Feels more secure to stay in town even if you still fight ghouls.
>>12058171The total day/night cycles that elapse will affect the ending. So if you wait out the night you might get the bad ending. Simon dies.
