Draculax was pretty good, shame the lack of support for the PSP means I traded mine in ages ago while I have all sorts of game boys and cartridges still around.

Pierzak posted:Wait, really? I could swear it was the same thing as on PS1. It has been fully retranslated, with the intent of being more faithful to the Japanese original script. For example, the intro reads: quote:Richter: Dracula. Die now, and leave this world! You'll never belong here! Instead of the more familiar version quote:Richter: Die monster. You don't belong in this world! It also includes two familiars originally left out of the game, as well as the option of Japanese audio.

Yeah, the lesser demon hits like a truck. Nice job not dying to it when caught by surprise. An example of different weapons having advantages other than their dps, the holy rod has a different hitbox to the swords you've been using. Not only is it larger at the tip, but it swings out a bit higher up when the swords you've seen just go straight out. Not a drastic enough change to plan around, but you're generally going to have fewer times when you barely miss an enemy, particularly with fleamen or other small/nimble foes.

There's another nice thing about it. I have no idea how you're supposed to figure out weapon spells, but the Holy Rod has one of the easiest to trigger by accident.

The "slab" in the gate area of the castle was intended to lead to another area of the castle, which in the end was cut from the PSX version due to deadlines. You actually can clip through by exploiting glitches, but there are only a couple of rooms including a save point AFAIK. This area was completed in the Saturn version of the game and was accessible normally.Bruceski posted:Yeah, the lesser demon hits like a truck. Nice job not dying to it when caught by surprise.

"Olrox's Quarters" is actually a mistranslation. The name of the area is supposed to be Orlock's Quarters, a reference to the movie Nosferatu.

Your genuine reaction to the plot there was brilliant. This is why blind LPs can be the best goddamn thing sometimes.  Also, this area can be a right pain without the proper tools to get through it, especially given Alucard's knockback, which can send you flying right out of the room.

I like the flow of this area. "So we give them the mist pick-up which is a glorified key right now and want to direct them to where it can be used without putting that place physically nearby or else the mist feels like a needless extra step. I know, let's give the player an item to teleport to the shop, and then put their goal near the shop!" Guiding while still allowing the player to meander.

Bruceski posted:Time Stop is great until you encounter anything you actually want to use it on. Exactly. This is what makes it the only bad subweapon in the game. Everything else is extremely useful, but the Time Stop is only good against enemies that aren't worth the trouble. Regarding the end of the update I don't think he's ever going to figure out what makes the Shield Rod so amazing unless he's told how to do the spell. As far as I know, the game never tells you about it.

When your opponent proclaims 'his range is excellent', if your reaction is to throw your axe away you deserve everything you get Minotaur  Also holy poo poo, the Werebane is one of my favorite weapons in the entire game just for how stylish it is Pros: One of the strongest shortswords in the game. Cons: That's faint praise as you continue collecting weapons. I replayed this game this week and just now realized I forgot to get the shield rod

That weapon has a slightly higher damage formula, and the different trajectory can be useful. Holy water is probably better in most cases, but "not as good" isn't the same as "bad".

This video is a good example of why you can't rely on damage numbers alone. The holy rod would have made minced meat out of that room that kept owning you, contrary to the Werebane.

Shield Rod is wonderful when you learn the trick, especially when you get your original shield back.

The little shield bit you’re shooting sometimes is actually a reference to Gradius, which has a similar floating shield power up that will protect you from bullets. It will block projectiles your shield can much the same way.

You've never used the spells, Yorkshire Tea? You've missed out, man. Hellfire is incredibly useful, just because of the teleport. Note that you also do not need to buy the spell books to use the spells, if you know the inputs, and have enough MP, you can use them straight from the beginning of the game.

gently caress yeah summon spirit. AKA "gently caress Birds ", the spell and way easier to bust out on demand than the spoilered stuff. For as crazy useful as all the other spells are, if I could only use ONE, it would be Summon Spirit. Dark metamorphisis is a big reason why as cool as the shield rod is (when I don't forget to grab it ) I tend to use fancy rod+blade combos. Shame you can't get my favorite knife until quite a while from now.

It's been over twenty years since I've played this game, so seeing you guys go at it is both nostalgic and completely new at the same time. Not to mention being a dumb kid, I frequently got my rear end kicked and didn't understand all the mechanics of cool stuff like the Shield Rod. I didn't even realize magic could be that bloody useful.

The weird blue things are Gradius shields, you can summon them with the Shield rod by doing the normal input twice rapidly or back then forward plus attacking with the shield rod. They'll hang around for a bit and can block projectiles, they're mostly an easter egg though. Unrelated - I think you can get those pot items that were just a little out of reach by misting at the very peak of your second jump and stretching over, but it's probably easier to come back with the next form upgrade. While I'm not expecting full completion (because that involves humping ceilings trying to get every last atom of map space and is tedious), I do hope Nat20 is sufficiently down to poke around in all the areas, there's a lot of neat fights/areas in this game that end up being optional for completion.
