Not castlevania, but you can pick richter and it almost plays like one.

a cakewalk
a lot of warping

One of the greatest gaming experiences ever. It's right up there with SMB, Doom, SM64 for me.

It has a very unbalanced diffuculty level. Some parts are hard, some parts are easy, and you can end up getting weapons early that make the game pretty easy, and by the end of the game there really isn't anymore challenge even if you didn't get the overpowered items. That's the biggest complaint, but pretty much everything else about the game is 10/10.

Well no one forces you to use a ridiculously overpowered weapon just because you found it. I usually just pick the weapon that's most fun to use in games like this.
>>
>i got the overpowered god weapon at the 98% mark of the game, piss easy 2/10 would not rent.
>>
>>12699110
It's easy but it's still fun due to satisfying movement and exploration
>>
>>12699119
>weapon which only exists in the very endgame and which you would have to grind yourself retarded for to actually get
I truly don't see the point with your retarded post.

A good but overrated game
>>
Great music and style, a lot of content and the best story in a castlevania game.
No challenge, uninspired "levels" and the "RPG" system was a mistake.
It's a good game, but kinda forgettable, if you want the music and style but with a good gameplay you can always go back to the 8 & 16bit games, and if you want the kind of gameplay this game is going for but done well go for metroid.
What I want to say is, enjoy, it's a classic for a reason, even if it's overrated.
>>
>>12699119
>Even so much as acquiring a single item on a playthrough
You did not beat the game
>>
>>12701031
The first mistake was making an intention to acquire the game. If the game did not land on your lap out of nowhere and you bought or downloaded it, you did not beat the game.
>>
>>12702957
Just thinking of this game implies you had insider knowledge of it meaning you didn't by any stretch of the definition beat the game.
>>
>>12699110
Fun game but not as tightly designed as Super Metroid
>>
>>12699110
Long ass hallways, bad level design, extremely easy enemies (except that flower cunt), padded content, worst UI in videogame history, spells that require fighting game comboes to cast, spamming backdash till your finger hurts, Dracula turns into big chungus alien
>>
You gotta play it multiple times.
Twice

I'm about to play this game for the 5th or 6th time, what should I expect?
>>
>>12705082
The power to go out.
>>
>>12705287
Why would the power go out?
>>
>>12699110
Maybe play the psp port you have to play like 30 minutes of some other castlevania to unlock it but it has cut content.
>>
get the bad ending and call it a day. the inverted castle just makes the game a slog and is anti-fun
>>
>>12703001
watching alucard spazzing out shucking and jiving while you try to imput magic spell combo is just classic gaming jank
if you can't enjoy that you just need to find another hobby
>>
>>12705303
Wrong. I need that Yasutsuna.
>>
my only big problem with the game is weapon-specific moves. you're never told they exist in-game or the manual. i guess you're just expected to mash buttons until something special happens
>>
>>12699110
Just play Aria of Sorrow instead.

if you get the wolf spirit you can skip ahead in the clock room to olrox's quarters to get stronger weapons including the shield rod because it connects to the arena

It always amuses me when I see people talk about sitting on their ass and reading like they're accomplishing something when they're just wasting time and consuming media like anyone else.
