I played a little more. Really liking it so far. I always enjoyed Castlevania games and all of the mythology in the games. This game delivers so far.

Jeff, Thoughts? Aren't the graphics amazing! I just got to the 9th Chapter last night. The game is getting real frustrating with all these puzzles.

yeah, graphics are great, the environments are pretty creepy and set a nice feeling. dead bog with the whirlpools and the creepy female whispers had me slightly on edge

cant wait to get home and play again...

its pretty challenging... getting hit at all by anything takes a substantial amount of health. i like that. cant just mash buttons it appears.

thanks

Underground caves after getting thru the enchanted forest.

fricking Ice Titan was a pain in the arse.

just started being able to collect neutral orbs for light magic.

I can see how these puzzles are gonna get fricking annoying later on

Just make sure to read every scroll they are very helpful. Also u can take the hints on the puzzles but u won't get any money or points. I never used a hint yet, but i was tempted to once. I was stuck on a maze for about a hour!! Wait till you get to chapter 7 it puts the castle in castlevania
I am almost thru chapter 9

thats a hard one, but if my life depended on it. I would choose Castlevania. The game is much harder and longer. The graphics or a little better to!!

yeah man this game is legit.

graphics are blowing me away.

storyline, while early on for me, is intriguing.

yeah i need to stop speed reading the scrolls

seems like theres a ton of secret shite to find as well.

did you find the dead solider by the ice titan? It was a health orb? Don't worry you will be back tracking alot. I like the features in the game how you can back track to each part of the game

ive missed a lot of dead soldiers

yeah i need to backtrack a few places already.

i love the "% complete" for each chapter/section... im the type that needs to find EVERYTHING if i am fully engaged in the game.

good. looking forward to it. i was thinking Light Magic and absorbing health was gonna make it easier.

obviously the baddies will have their own magic shite too tho.

ive been saving my XP and buying as needed. Chainsaw you say.. sounds good.
