Arcade Mode

[lostlevels]

I’ve logged over 200hrs on GnG Rez (Switch) and I started a new file to replay, but I’m also messing around on double-skull Legend for the fun of it, stripping the umbral tree bare and trying to no-death the graveyard. Maybe try no-hit afterwards. I’d like to stream but I’m too clueless on how to do it.

This makes me wish there was an Arcade Mode where you are given five guys and play for a high score, Twin Galaxies style. Maybe even have a leaderboard. I used to play the OG arcade GnG so much I true-ending’d it on a single credit before I started to get interested in its high score records in TGs. This was 13 years ago, at least, at Barcade Brooklyn, tho, don’t really think new-gen gamers want to do that old-school score chasing, but maybe I’m old and wrong.

One can dream :P

I know how you feel I wished that too. People like you and me are relics of an bygone era.

Ya we’re relics but man has it been enjoyable reading everyone’s complaints about the difficulty.

Git[‘n]Gud kiddos.

Arcade mode would be a fine addition for those very few ultra-masochists that like to push themselves to the limit.

I guess two skulls legend Shadow Caverns of the Occult dragon ride without magic is almost impossible to complete.

The GnG series has always been esoteric, and I daydream of a dedicated group of players going for High Score, with “No Magic Double Skull Legend Shadow Caverns of the Occult Run” as our Holy Grail.

Call it the Cult of NMDSLSCotOR or some crap, idk. But I’m in my own world. I bought a Mayflash f500 for this alone, cuz it’s my forever game.

You have my respect for that. If Im not wrong, nobody has been able to show a proper speedrun for this game yet. Not even some GnG japanese god player.

The Mexican Runner speedrunner recorded one true ending legend no skull one, but it took him close to 5 hours lol!

There are few spots that seems to be near impossible without magic at two skulls. The dragon ride one, and citadel approach (eyes section).

That's awesome. I have been playing with my xbox controller and felt I should get a joystick for a proper arcade experience. I grew up in the 80s and still have never been able to beat a G n G game. Hopefully I can fell this foe on Legend difficulty.

I'm at the Dragon drop now at 20 hrs. The people who gave this game a so-so review did not play on Legend , of that I am sure. Because it is an incredible experience

Ya I saw that run, still impressive nonetheless that’s sure. Pretty cool that it’s so hard you can’t get a proper speed run

[oldschool_BR]

Yeah, Legend is extremely hard to speedrun. You just need the right RNG to proceed, sometimes, since some thing become impossible to react to. Pretty sure a real Legend all bees speedrun will never pop out, because there are too many RNG risks.
