luck mode is pretty rough. doppelganger is kicking my rear end

I was getting owned by Richter and I couldn't even hurt him so I spent a bunch of time exploring everywhere I could with all the movement abilities and I found entire new areas with bosses I'd never seen before, found a couple of rings that let me open up the floor in the clock room where I fought Maria who gave me glasses that let me see an orb that was controlling him :stare: This loving game

one of the most powerful spoils in games

I'm gonna restart this and try luck mode since that seems like it'd be more fun and I've already beaten the game (albeit on an Xbox 360 like 8 years ago).

i highly recommend luck mode. it's cool to get drops to work with without grinding, and the first half of the game is decently challenging

Hey, remember that awesome castle you just explored? How about we give it to you again, but it's upside down so you have to entirely rethink how to navigate it, and it's full of entirely new enemies and bosses

Beelzebub took me a few tries until I figured out the trick Don't go for what looks like the easy route and attack his feet since that will spawn more flies, gravity jump up and attack his body right away

Its so badass lol. I love any game that makes you think you're fighting the final boss but then it suddenly reveals that you're only halfway done.

I will probably jump in on this, I've never done a luck run before and it sounds cool.

Snatcher, Shining Force CD and versions of poo poo that are better elsewhere, that's pretty much all Sega CD has going for it

I'm gonna start this tonight btw. Still torn on doing Luck or Normal but it sounds like Luck makes things a bit more fun for the returning player, so I guess I'll do that

i killed Richter for a lark, and he's hard as poo poo. i had to use some items that are sort of cheap to beat him, but his sub weapon specials were too powerful for me.

yes but most of them are very arcade-y, it's not like PSX where there are a thousand games for every genre
