This game is amazing. Probably the best thing is that it follows the design philosophy of teaching you about mechanics and stage gimmicks through the level design itself, which is pretty rare.

Adam Bowen posted:Isn't there an enemy (not the bird things) in the airship level that acts exactly like the medusa heads? But as I recall there are far fewer of them than there tended to be in Castlevania levels themed around them, and there aren't as many insta-death pits around either so they aren't so annoying.

Unlucky7 posted:I think we are talking about the Jim Sterling review here, and he did not say Medusa Head enemies so much as Medusa Head challenge (as in unfair and pure bullshit), and I don't see that myself after being halfway through the game. I'm pretty bad at Mega Man and other games like that but I basically had zero issue with this game. There was a point in one level (propeller knight's, I think?) that I died at least 15 times, but other than that maybe 3 to 5 deaths per level. There's absolutely nothing comparable to the challenge in any pre-SOTN Castlevania games, much less a challenge on the level of the loving clock tower levels in a Castlevania game.

The only thing I really had any trouble with were the dark screens with lightning. It's not a hard game to beat, especially with how generous the death system is.

ImpAtom posted:There are enemies who bob around like that but they're clearly foreshadowed and not semi-random so they don't really fall into the same annoying niche. Yeah, also, they don't spawn from the side you're closets to if you're really close to that side, which means you can always react to them. Or maybe they just stop spawning by the time you get to the side of a screen. Regardless, they're there but they aren't stupid and dumb and if they knock you down, it's just a screen down and not a game over so far. Fecha posted:The only thing I really had any trouble with were the dark screens with lightning. It's not a hard game to beat, especially with how generous the death system is. Yup, this part was really annoying. I think making the character 100% visible during these moments would have been better. If you get hit by an enemy in a dark area, or hit one, you get knocked back and instantly lose track of where your character is exactly, which is kind of obnoxious. It might have been better if it happened later on in the game because you'd be much more accustomed to things like exactly how far the character gets knocked back when things get hit. This was specifically very troublesome during the boss fight where about 50% of the game screen is just literally not seeable and you can't react to any form of pattern at all of the boss if he's just in a certain area of the screen. anime was right fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jun 30, 2014 |

I honestly had no problem at all with that part by just standing on the right platform. I could always either see him or see him move toward me in a way that I could judge when to swing.

Tip for anyone playing on a 120hz+ monitor: turn off vsync. I realized this when I literally could not hit the specter knight that my game was running at double speed.

It's not surprising to me why I like this game so much. I found these carts going through a box of random stuff while packing for a move. I don't even know how long I've owned these things, at least 20 years.

Just finished this game today (mostly) and I can safely say I haven't had more fun with a game in a long time. When I died I didn't get upset, I just kind of laughed and went 'Oh no!' and kept playing. I'm so hype for the future content and characters.

Anyone know what happens if you die to the Troupple King twice? I did it once in NG+ just to see what happens and he got super mad at me and gave me a clear warning, and I didn't wanna lose out on Ichor- especially in NG+ so I didn't do it again.

No one can outrun the reaper Edit: Super late but posted a code earlier for the file screen, what it does is: It's mole knight with a 3 minute timer Drops aren't randomized You have Dynamo Armor and all Subweapons It's a score attack thing, see how many points you can get.

The Steam version just got an update: •Now you can save to the cloud! Steam saving error should no longer display. All of your current progress will transfer over on next game start. •No Feat should go unnoticed! Added an option to the Feats menu which allows you to sync previously unlocked Feats to your Steam Achievements with the F4 key. •Additional controller support. Thank you to everyone who submitted their devices! - http://yachtclubgames.com/2014/03/steam-controller-support/ •Direction inputs can be bound to multiple buttons. Just press more than one input at once. Intended for players who wanted to map Shovel Drop to its own button. •Removed an “empty” Song Scroll from Clockwork Tower which could never be collected or turned in. •Fix: The following Feats not unlocking in Steam Achievements: “I’m Alive”, “Hurry Up”, “Untouched”, and “Shovel Economy” •Fix: “Halfway” Feat unlocking when re-clearing a stage. •Fix: Black Knight ignores damage during Plains intro. For some players, there was a small window of opportunity to Ground Spark which could cause Black Knight to go off script. •Fix: Sparker Feat not unlocking when defeating Black Knight. •Fix: Player and Encounter Map movement halting the game under certain vsync/video settings. •Fix: Monitors running higher than 60hz running at double speed or faster •Fix: Some Boot up crash repairs for Steam

This really is the perfect game for 3DS. It's looks awesome on the small screen, the DS functionality is nice (quick inventory management), and I can take it with me. Seriously, I've only completely a few stages but love how much personality it has.

Jesus, Propeller Knight's stage can go gently caress itself. Boss was annoying, but the stage was just awful, even with the propeller blade to keep you aerial. Although the game must be doing something right, because that and Alchemy Knight's stage are the only ones that I haven't really enjoyed so far.
