Love the gore effects. More games should have robots that bleed.

The blood effects remind me to the blood in Conker's Bad Fur Day. other than that, i find the game to be rather shallow in terms of gameplay so i didn't play much more than an hour

I found it to be a surprisingly decent game - fun to play on a moment to moment basis with good bosses.

The map system is terrible and hard to understand. Made for some tedious moments a game with a decent amount of backtracking and respawning enemies.

I remember getting myself stuck because I saved and had not enough health to go around, so I ragequat.

And yeah the blood effects were cool, they seemed to be proud of them because you could paint the blood in different colors or make it rainbows.

Fucked up this stupid game had more platforming than the PS2vanias.

Anyway, it was a complete chore, a hollow husk of a game to play that used the same engine as KCET's PS2vanias, but which nobody ever rated highly at the time or talks about anymore since it wasn't backed by the Castlevania brand to begin with. Take away the Castlevania license, and the gameplay was seen for what it was—generic, unimaginative, and poorly conceived.

Lament of Innocence gets mentioned more than you'd think nowadays, even /v/tards have an occasional thread about it

Frankly embarrassing that we're in a phase where people have nostalgia for this kind of bland shit and then have the audacity to call NES games unplayable.

game is pretty flawed but its also really fun. honestly its among the better ps2-era action games. I enjoyed it enough to come back to it after a bit and do a second playthrough with Keith.

I have no nostalgia for either, played them both for the first time in 2023 or so, and I enjoyed both, Nanobreaker more than Lament. They may both be generic for their era, but its an era that was surprisingly short-lived, and the games themselves are short, so almost anyone who has a particular fondness for this style of game is going to get around to these C-tier classics.
