Games don't need to be from soft hardcore dificulty to be good.

This was the only Castlevania worth playing. I wasted my time with the other games, especially the nes games

>>725298291 (OP)
and it isn't

>>725298291 (OP)
I downloaded a hard hack and good fucking christ the amount of HP it gives bosses and enemies. I just wanted it a little tougher maybe I level up less or something not "wack the first boss six hundred times to win".

>>725298291 (OP)
true, kino game btw

>BUT MUH SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT
get a job. and yes this game is great

sotn's whole 2nd castle is ruined by the imbalance.

Circle of the moon is unironically a better game.

fromsoft uses the difficulty to mask how substandard their game design is. ER exposed this with how cheap and laughable the bosses are.

If there's ever a rerelease of SOTN I hope they add in Hard Mode, maybe something like PoR where you can choose to cap Alucard's level.

Then where do they need to be from?

the game has a luck mode that alters your stats wildly, but it only makes the first couple hours challenging and you probably already know about it, i reckon

i wouldn't say their design is substandard, it's just predictable and formulaic at this point. ER didn't feel like a new game, it felt like Demon's Souls 7.

I think the best version for replays is the Saturn version with the hackrom to reduce loading times + translation + option of hard mode
you need to turn the hard mode on all the time you go back to the menu, and it's a bit unfair sometimes, but I think it's the best you're going to get

is it just me or is harmony of dissonance the easiest game ever made

those guys were awesome. i enjoyed using their ability in order of ecclesia

But one of the worst parts of the game is how underwhelming boss fights are.

>>725306669
true, dracula final boss looks cool but it's a braindead cakewalk

>>725298291 (OP)
If you didn't kill every enemy a thousand times to collect every rare drop, you didn't beat the game.

yeah but they still need to be functional. when just playing the game normally turns it into a joke it's kind of bad. playing any regular vanilla run of a campaign is not an accomplishment but I enjoy having a tight experience orchestrated by the developer.
