Is this anything like castlevania symphony of the night?

[DOUBLE F]

also can you upgrade weapons and armor?

[Geraldo_Ray( ᐛ )]

It has a Metroidvania feel to it with its combat and exploration, but you can't upgrade weapons and armor (you can create them, but no upgrading of any sort).

Also, I don't remember the original Castlevania: Symphony of the Night having any crafting or upgrading weapons and armor. Upgrades to Alucard, sure, but not actual weapon/armor stuff.

Jumping around, hack and slash. Sure. But the bosses in this game are just too weak - nowhere near Castlevania. I remember I was once stuck in a big boss fight in inverted castle. I can't remember his name, but he has like bajillion HPs.

(obtaining Crissaegrim and hacking him to pieces does not count)

The only fight you could be referring to is Galamoth. Inverted castle Catacombs boss. And he is quite possibly the only boss in the game to pose any sort of challenge. Yes, without Crissaegrim.

you guys are terrible if you think castlevania symphony of the night was hard... lmfao all you need is shield rod and alucard shield when you start inverted castle. just dont head right from starting area and head left. all you do is press both attack buttons with shield rod and alucard shield then hold the shield and watch them rip. bosses take 2 seconds

Are you that weak since you used OP combos in SotN? Yeah I think you're just a bad gamer.

[hatori1181]

I'd say that even without Crissagrim and the shield Rod combo, SotN wasn't really a hard game. I haven't finished Dust, yet. But there's one area, with one type of recurring monster, that really had me sweating. (about 50% in for those that played.)

Castlevania SotN Luck Mode is the true way to play. It gimps your stats so poorly that the good drop rates and the high crit rates don't do enough to make it easy,

You don't upgrade weapons and armor, but you do level up attributes and obtain new gear.

It is a Symphony Of The Night -style game (or a Metroidvania), since there are areas you can't access in the map until you get some skill or something or obtain an item. So right now there's a thing near the first area of the game that I have get access to now, if I traveled there.

So it's a Metroidvania (my favorite genre!) with a slightly more hack'n'slash -feel to it and more RPG-elements like sidequests and item crafting. And grinding but that's what you can do in CV: SoTN too.


So: If you like SoTN you WILL like this, there's even some jokes about Castlevania in there. You get a "Mysterious Wall Chicken" that looks like the one in Castlevania when you break down stone walls. Always makes me laugh, "mysterious" indeed...
