@@l.migu31 They are similiar but Castlevania (both Classic and IGA Style) are still fundamentally different in both Design Philosophy and general style. Castlevania is closer to an actionized JRPG with exploration elements, a slower pace and generally more combat oriented. Also while the castle itself tends to be pretty big, ultimately there is still a rather rigid throughline without the use of glitches most of the time. Metroid is closer to an action exploration game without any of the RPG style choices and far less combat heavy (compare amount of bosses between games for example).

little thing most people don't know about this game is that if you perfect guard an attack your innocent devils recover HP, you can even revive your innocent devils this way. Probably would of saved alot of frustration of them dying all the time. The perfect guard also cancels ANY action you are currently doing, as long as you are successful. Another thing about the perfect guard is that it allows you block in the air, something you normally can't do. The perfect guard in this game is NUTS, it's almost broken if it weren't the timing it requires to pull off.

I tried it one time and I just cannot bear with the slow walking and dead airs, Lament of Innocence clicked me more.

[@gagejoseph91]

@cps1247 The slow walking speed is absolutely an issue. A mod to boost running speed would iron out almost every issue this game has. The lacking aerial combat is less an issue with the air combos themselves and more about flying enemies being so mobile. Locking them down to get any hits in can be a chore, but IDs can mitigate that almost entirely. Buffing movement speed in the air would more easily allow aerial approach instead of basically needing to jump right in front of a moving air target. Repeated dodge rolls speed movement up a bit, and Trevor's hit-hit-special finisher with a dodge roll animation cancel at the end speeds things up a fair amount, but these are exhausting to do constantly and the timing of the former is extremely strict when trying to make it efficient.

Honestly I think an only Innocent Devil run could be interesting. Though you would probably have to give yourself access to an innocent devil that can actually do damage at the start. But others then that it could be fairly interesting. Probably not too hard, but interesting

[@ryanchase9332]

It's not the hardest weapon to craft. Death's Scythe is, because you need a Death Fragment, only obtainable by stealing from Death. His steal window is ludicrously small, and comes in the frames directly after his ultimate attack which explodes the entire screen. You basically need to use the Devil type's portal to hide right next to him, get out of portal form in the few frames after the blast but before the window to steal closes, then steal. It is extremely difficult to do consistently.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

That's the "easy" method if you will. The intended method is to perfect guard his ultimate attack the entire duration it hits. That's 10 times total consecutively. And that's the way I went for cause tbh the alternate way was hard to imagine without video clips to see how it plays out. Early days of KZbin didn't have an abundance of guides back then.

Bruh that wyvern is a straight up Rathalos

I don't think the Megingjord/Megingelos being able to raise the Gatling Gun's normally fixed damage is an oversight. Rather, I suspect it works similar to the Red Tearstone Ring from the Souls games: directly raising all damage you deal by a flat percentage instead of increasing your stats like other equipment.

[@Casj-uk5rw]

In Curse of Darkness the greatest effect you can get from the Megingelos is when you have 999 max HP and let Hector's HP get to below 9 (8 or less HP remaining)

The End would've been helpful for some of the endgame bosses tbh, you could've grinded him out like how you did with your Herbest and Twinkle Star

36:20 you do have infinite hearts though, whenever you perfect block the ID gets hearts to use for their skills

Aria of Sorrow Gun% Run: Dracula shoots up his own castle with only a gat. Curse of Darkness Gun% Run: Hector mows down the castle of his former boss with nothing but a gatling gun.

They massacred my boy Hector in the anime.

Hector looked at Soma and said "hold my beer."

Watching this video makes me really want a run of CoD without innocent demons in batte! Edit: I wanted to say that a Brazilian channel called Master Alucard made a 4 hour video talking and explaining the ENTIRE Castlevania timeline and it is a work that everyone should see (It has English subtitles if anyone wants to see it)

Valeu cara, depois eu vejo

[@dennislemasters4339]

although it is called a gatling gun in game the weapon is clearly based of the m-134 minigun, not only does the weapon have a much high rate of fire than the real life gatling gun, the in game weapon is electrically operated, the real life gatling gun named after it's inventor Richard Jordan Gatling is fired by turning a hand crank and looks vastly different from the weapon shown in this video

[@Siinory]

522 shots to kill that Golden Bones with the Gatling Gun dealing 23 damage, jeebus

[@42dusk45]

I think the mini gun deals flat damage then the item boosts the damage by a flat rate so it applies. Also if there are any items that reduce enemy defense that may increase your damage but I've never played this game so I am probably wrong.

[@MavHawk]

Gotta say I'm loving the "joke" challenges

[@nobodyfornow]

wow, dark souls took a lot more from other series than i thought. fron the weird cage elevators to even some similar looking enemy designs (first boss looks like the iron golem for example)

[@alexlee4154]

Have you heard of demon's souls? The iron golem is pretty similar to the tower knight. The souls series combat is also pretty similar to classic monster hunter

[@wallacesousuke1433]

@@alexlee4154 wow glad to know I'm not the first person to notice similarities between souls games and Castlevania and Monster Hunter haha

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Yeah, and don't forget the level design that's literally Metroidvania in 3D, the deliberate combat where you can't get stunlocked by attacks, very reminiscent of classic Castlevanias , and not to mention that Simon's Quest did the "toxic swamp area that slows down you movement" all the way back in 1986

[@SinHurr]

So Barret _could_ kill Dracula. Nice.

[@mariogirl8100]

FINAL FANTASY VII FAN DETECTED! I AM ASCENDING- (Advent Children is good, change my mind)

[@dux2bble241]

Finally, this was my first Castlevania game and One of my favourites as well

[@MrDark086]

Its been a hot minute since i've done a full playthrough but i'm fairly sure you can get another attempt at the boss steals. The catch being its in boss rush and if you fail to win the rush you lose whatever you stole and have to start back over

[@unkindled6410]

TBF gatling guns are actually pretty old, but they were crank operated stationary guns that actually fired considerably slow. even if today, mini guns are still an HMG that is also only put on heavy armored vehicles, it is theoretically possible to make one can be wielded. but an wieldable gatling gun in 15th century? yeah no. TLDR rotating barrels machine guns are actually a pretty old firearm invention but nowhere near something to be carried around like a regular firearm.

[@mineflameblade8788]

"You won't be able to win against a Gatling Gun!!!"

[@Azumarito]

I have never seen videos of this game with this amount of likes and recognition, I thought the game was underrated as heck, nice to see this
