Since they're apparently also including the paypal money, it might get hit.

The ridiculous amount of stretch goals have me a little worried.

I mean it is a metroidvania. They're not exactly the most complicated games.

Hell Mr. IGA is also guilty of a lot of copy paste in most of them.

Looks like Adult Swim Games is gonna be releasing a sprite-based metroidvania with lots of elements reminiscent of SotN and Shadow of the Colossus. Color me excited.

last time I tried to play valdis there was some sort of bug on certain video cards where the game would run at 5fps and there was nothing you could do about it

The whole inverted castle feels rushed, and it probably was.

It definitely was, what with every area in the inverted castle intending to have new songs but only 2 of them ending up that way

I am looking forward to Bloodstained and trying not to be hyped for the random castle mode because they will probably gently caress it up

Dawn of Sorrow's magic seal drawing sucks and I dislike spending rare souls to power up my weapons so it's the worst for me

The castle's even a bit lighter on gear lying out because of the soul upgrade system

The Prime trilogy version of Prime 2 is pretty stripped down; they drastically nerfed the difficulty in some of the game's cooler boss fights. Not recommended unless you absolutely can't stand the original games' controls. I think MP1 is fine though (unless the removal of some speedrun tricks and skips particularly bothers you).

Prime 2 is not a good game so making it more tolerable sounds good to me :confused:

I think when people talk about castlevania being anime, they mean the art style, and in turn that Kojima's art was loving rad and the art in DoS and PoR was terrible

I'm unsure who the artist for OoE was, but even that game's art was really great
