Yeah, I beat it shortly after launch on Switch, the game was good enough on its own to shine through the Switch port problems, but I recently bought it on Steam just to have a version that didn't have all the problems. I'll play through it again on my Steam Deck eventually.

They also made SMT Synchronicity, the Metroidvania where you played as the Jack Bros. that Atlus released as a free promotion in Japan before Strange Journey Redux came out. That one's harder to find these days though, Atlus took it off their site IIRC and it only has a fan translation. It's interesting to see how the basic mechanics of Deedlit evolved from Synchronicity, though, the dual-element system in the former is basically ripped straight from the latter.

I wasn't really playing either Deedlit or Luna Nights for the plots, but I felt the game gave me enough information to comprehend the basics of it at least. Like "the dragon was probably someone they fought with" or "this character seems like Deedlit's rival". I'm sure you'll get a lot more out of the game of you're a fan of the anime, but I enjoyed it well enough.

I got Blasphemous really cheap in a Fanatical bundle, tried it out real quick, died to the first enemy (which is a boss) because I had no idea how to play yet, and put it down. I haven't entirely given up on it yet, but it's not a very good first impression, tbh, and kinda reinforces that Souls-style games are really not for me.

Eh, like I said, it's a really bad first impression of a game when the literal first enemy in the game, seconds after the "press [BUTTON] to do X" prompts that tell you how to jump and attack, is a boss fight you're expected to win. Feels like I'm going to be spending a lot of time bashing my face into brick walls and that's not why I play video games. Also part of the reason I lost was I felt like the game was dropping inputs? Like it wouldn't always attack when I hit the button.

Mummy Demastered? Yeah, I've heard good things about it and it's made by Wayforward. Picked it up in one of those Fanatical bundles, so I'll get around to it at some point.

I've never minded going through old areas in a Metroidvania, enemies from areas older than the previous one or two tend to explode when you look at them funny, and unlike a turn-based JRPG there's no separate "battle screen" with its own intros and end screens to break up the flow.

If you're finding it inconsistent it's probably because you're not waiting long enough to hit the jump button, there's a window when you start descending from your jump that's the time to jump again. Unless it's that you keep popping out of spin jump, in which case you're probably pushing Up or Down on the D-Pad at some point.

You definitely did play the best of the GBA Castlevania games, but I had enough fun with the other two to justify the purchase of all three.

The widget in the Advance Collection made the grind a bit more tolerable at least by telling you if an enemy has a card to drop.

Yeah, Konami has been strange in their apparent refusal to bring Symphony to PC or Switch. You can say it's because they used the PlayStation 4 PSP emulator which is proprietary for the collection with Rondo, but they've proven willing to hire M.2 for the Advance Collection and Symphony by itself is on mobile devices so  . The only thing I can think of is that they have some oddly restrictive exclusivity contract with Sony for the double pack in order to use the PSP emulator and they don't want to release Symphony without Rondo for some reason.

Speaking as someone who beat it on Switch, if you really need portable Bloodstained and the Switch is your only option it's playable. If you can play the game any other way, though, I'd recommend that. It's got basically every performance issue under the sun; framerate problems, input lag, long load times, freezing, graphical glitches, crashing, etc.

ImpAtom posted:I will say, if nothing else, Lost Crown has one feature I hope to see every future Metroidvania steal. By pressing down on the D-pad you can instantly take a picture of your current location and pin it to the map, so if you encounter something you can't get past yet you can just snip a pic and then check it out later once you get new tools. It's small but genuinely a fantastic addition.

The Team Ladybug Metroidvanias (Touhou Luna Nights and Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth) both have levels, and Deedlit has gear, though they're not a huge indicator of raw power and you're still going to have to engage with the games' main gimmick (time powers in Luna Nights and elemental changing in Deedlit). Timespinner is probably the most Iga Metroidvania I've played outside of the games Iga has made himself.
