Castlevania symphony of the night impressions

currently i'm at the inverted castle and i've seen the first two endings so i'm quite far in
also i'd advise anyone who plas this to check out how to get the inverted castle as its where the game gets a lot harder and probably most of the game is

if you've played aria of sorrow on GBA thats basically a clone of this game

it plays a lot like the old castlevania games but has a lot of rpg elements added in
the main problem with this game is that if your good at the old castlevania games where you couldn't level up this ends up being a cake walk i don't think i died once until i got to the inverted castle

the games suprisingly non linear allowing you to basically go where you want when you want as long as you have the appropriate ability there is a fairly obvious path to take and if you stick to it you'll run into no problems

interestingly if you played castlvania x this continues literally from the end of that game having the final boss fight of that as a prologue to this game.

in terms of challenge aria of sorrow was probably better
but all round this is just a great game and an enjoyable experience
i find it at just about the right difficulty that you won't get bored and easy enough to be a relaxing play

i actually think i'm at the part wehre i can see the final boss as i've found 5 relics now so i'll let you know what thats like

Have fun.

if this is like all the other castlevanias i remember as long as i can jump three fireballs and hit dracula in the chest it will be easy

oh, You don't even know...I shall pray for you.

But seriously, You won't be expecting it. It's not hard. It's more "What the fuck?! When did this happen?!"

even more suprising then the guy you fartts fireballs and craps bones in bloodlines o_O

Oh yes, the last boss is amazingly surprising.

time hasn't been kind to dracula he was looking seriously fucked up

nowi'm gonna try and get the best ending by fully exploring the inverted castle

wow galamoth was harder then the final boss

luckily theres serious exploits in that fight

that best ending didn't really seem worth the extra effort

all round the game was a bit too easy
except the huge difficulty spike on first entering the inverted castle

great game though and i think every castlevania fan should play this and aria of sorrow

i feel like a jackass. i spent over an hour trying to get the ring of varda and just noe remember it appears after beating the game

ha, you must have looked a right fool.

beat it decided to try thief mode and died before even getting to the first boss
