Ok my favorite game ever made, i played since there was only shovel knight and continued playing to almost the end, now the only campaign that remains is King Knight and i will return to it. What can i say to the rest of the campaigns tho i did everything when it comes to shovel knight, Plague knight (My beloved) and Specter Knight. i loved everything about it from the graphics to the music to gameplay to the characters it was so good. to play and replay again and again and will continue to replay the game on many platforms (Pc,3ds,vita...)
Just look at any gameplay trailer or video and you will be able to tell if the game is for you.
The reason i haven't finished King Knight was because it had a card game based thing which i didn't feel like i wanted to learn at the time.

Played it on the Deck.
What can i say top of the line castlevania for the GBA.
It doesn't take too long even tho i say it still took me 8 hours which felt like 3 hours i usually feel fatigued after playing a search-action game but not whit this one.
This game is what i like to present to my friends that usually say that they get burned out on symphony of the night because its just that game but with all fat sheered off.
I like the soul expect of the game it adds a lot to it, i guess the grinding expect is the only problem with the game.
The one i thing i don't like is that there are some monsters that are really annoying to get looking at you flying fish.
I am not too big on achievements but retro achievements has added a bit of fresh air into some of these games especially if you have played these games a billion of times.
ANYWAY Do not miss out on this game.

Haven't played a mega man game in a while and decided oh wait i have this in the back of my mind so i played through it.
Oh my god i love all of the characters especially the villain's.
Honestly who did the cut scene's needs to be given a lot of praise because they are my favorite part of the game.
They might look primitive now but god damn i miss in engine cut scene's that aren't trying to be hyper realistic and shit.
Man i really want to continue playing the second game and misadventures of tron bonne but ill hold off because next on my docket is Metroid Prime.
Sorry i went on a tangent there.
Anyway the gameplay is of course a bit of an annoyance. Who would have thought a 3d ps 1 game that has weird controls well not that weird they are pretty all right took me like an hour to get them down. But i cant speak for everyone since i am also very used to tank controls and playing games that didn't have analog sticks and such. But i can see people not being able to get over it, hell i have a friend that just can not play the og resident evil games because of the tank controls. I would just say skill issue but....
Anyway i love the progression in the game, exploration and the way you get side quests.
I dont want to reveal anything more than that since i am lazy to type and i wish people play this gem.

I have played this game and beaten it many times before on a lot of consoles and such. I grabbed it for my deck now as well.
Igarashi you bastard i love you.If you are a fan of Castlevania 3, its that but just more accessible. From the platforming to the combat and the very tasteful casual mode that i recommend most people play on.Makes the game a masterpiece even better then ritual of the night.
The game is short but so sweet. Almost every run i do no mater if its with full party or not(don't want to spoil anything) usually takes me and hours or so to beat so its a very pick up and play game so it never gets to be boring.
With that go get the game it is a very good price for the amount of enjoyment you can squeeze out of it.
Truly a Modern NES game in every sense of the word.

It is amazing that i play through a game and enjoy it from start to finish but have almost nothing to say about it.
Because this game has an interesting setting, graphics, the blend of cyberpunk and SCP is interesting but very shallow, it feels like it hasn't been properly integrated in.
Gameplay is smooth and responsive i like the skill tree but again there is something at the back of my mind that keeps gnawing at me and it feels like they wanted to make 2 games but ended up blending them together and one game keeps bringing the other down and vice versa.
Still the game is interesting and cute, everything else around the game is neatly executed except the main story.

Oh boy i love this game but it has something dragging it down and of course it the double mechanic castle thingy.
Story wise its amazing i like the duality of Maxim he has those wolves in side of him. But there are a lot of things that i love from combinations of equipment and spellbook's to the design of the castle and the variations. It just feels like the castles should have been a tiny bit more different, enemies and the background is fine but at the end of the day you are going through the same castle, but what i love is the set pieces in the game. From destroying pillars to make a ramp to pushing a giant suit of armor into grinding wheels to well grind him or the one that just trips down the stairs to break open a rock man this game is funny. What was i talking about idk man play this game with a guide if you are stuck to give your self some sense of direction and IMPORTANT:
-press down when in the huge circular place that switches sides from A to B because that will teleport you
-Press RB+LB+Down arrow to turn on and off spellbooks
Goodnight and have a great time.

Played the game on the steam deck with following changes.
60fps in gameplay
Right stick aiming
That has made replaying this gem a whole lot better.
One of the first games i played on my psp (Rip my beautiful) and loved it.
From writing to gameplay to the wacky Monster hunter tie in.
The game ooozzzzzeeeesss creativity and it always makes me go god damn psp was a beast to be able to play this, with so much content. If i ever find some friends it would be amazing to do multiplayer co-op missions with them.
Any way its a Metal Gear Solid game but on the go and its a 10/10 experience

Listen i am all warframed out. They get new quests which i usually play but it feels like torture to play or better said grind for anything other than that. Don't get me wrong i have made great friends on that game and amazing memories.
If you are looking for an amazing free game you got one right here but FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME. If you try to do a lot of things at once or you get easily distracted you will not have a good time have a wiki and maybe a clan member near by. Also yes Clans join one and start talking to dudes or guys
and perhaps even men. this is a social mmo like game thingy it will make the grind easier to handle. Anyway go play the new Farming Simulator

I tried to play and finish the game couple of times but there are some very interesting choices that stop me from enjoying and finishing the game. I don't like to be overly negative especially around my darling series Castlevania.
Movement you know is suppose to be the last thing that is annoying or tedious and sadly it is tedious in this game. Probably my least favorite out of all three GBA games.
Again i seem to be in the minority when it comes to this game maybe it wont be annoying to you but i recommend playing the romhack with auto sprint enabled which introduces its own problems but oh well.

Allright so this game is good right. Made by the same people that made Titan Souls. So i really am lazy in my explanations and games and there is a reason for that. i am lazy i said it right in the start. But this games deserves to be played and explored at your own pace no need to rush oh get frustrated at it and such. Take your time and you will beat it and unlock all of its secrets and remember don't be afraid to be lost and wander and don't resort for the guide unless its like 100% the game or those 50 [REDACTED] to collect. I have 1 gripe with the game and that it needed no matter how obscure it needed a map, just something very simple not looking for something very detailed something very slight or better yet just get the wind to guide you if you are really stuck. But that's just a minor gripe i have with the game. It doesn't impact it's score just because of it.
Anyway i even forgot what i was writing about just go and play it and play Titan Souls as well, kino game.

It has the making of an amazing game but sadly i found some things that didn't get better the more i played.
So metroidvania or search-action of the game is not lacking its just the worst version of it. It starts to be pretty repetitive and monotone, It has solid game mechanics and it gave me the feeling of a very good Gameboy Advanced game.
I'll make a short list of good and the bad.
Good:
-Art syle is sharp and readable
-Platforming
-Map was standard for this type of game
-Music
-Story i would say was intriguing enough
-Creative use of the armor changes that impact how you traverse the world.
-I loved the mechanic with the light being your shield that you can do a quick time event to regain a lot of it.
-Certain side characters and bosses were cool.
Bad:
-Combat is very basic and it doesn't get any better
-No markers for the map
-coins are near useless
-No teleportation between save rooms or dedicated warp rooms
-Backtracking is a chore and a half
-Death sending you to the last save room is too harsh for a game like this especially when save rooms don't feel frequent or placed in convenient places so that the death feels like a minor setback and not a 3 hour loss of progress.
-Most upgrades don't feel like they do anything and almost forgot to mention them in this section, the only worth while one is the health and light upgrade which is just your health and other health.
And that is pretty much it i don't want to discourage anybody from playing this game but it has earned its Mixed review on steam for a reason.
