Am I crazy or is it totally ridiculous to say that this game seems to blow Bloodstained out of the water?
lmfao

Well it has some variety, an interesting setup and not embarrassing art. Of course it does. Then again, it's made by someone who understands Castlevania is more than erotic violence, anime tropes and aping SOTN.Am I crazy or is it totally ridiculous to say that this game seems to blow Bloodstained out of the water?
I prefer the art, music, environments, and overall aesthetic over Bloodstained. Games seems a bit quicker than demos we've seen of Bloodstained as well. IMO the graphical style (a commendable attempt at recreating 16-bit graphics, with no budget of course) is about a million times better than the 2.5D seen in Bloodstained. I mean I'll play that game too and am excited for it but I don't expect it to wow me like this one, of course maybe some of my hype for this game stems from the fact that I feel like I got an official Castlevania that I didn't pay a dime for.
my DS3 works with the drivers I set up, thank god
but uh
how can I play this in windowed mode
I thought the answer was Alt+Enter but that literally just takes away 3/4s of the screen
I played it for a little bit and it seemed pretty good but man, I get it that they wanted to go for the true old school experience with this, but why should I have to suffer with outdated interface standards? Let me skip the intro and autosave at the damn start, god damnit.
Why should I have to restart the game from the main menu if I die before I hit a save point?
decided to play through the game on my own, got a ways in
asking for some help on shit, keeping it in spoilers
The combination lock in the Servigny mansion... I don't fucking understand how to "key in" the values. Like it's asking for the death of the count and the building of the bridge. The latter is soundly written as 1713, but the latter is weird, because he's kind of the boss you defeat? I think the intro said something like 1781 as the year the game takes place, but his "written" deathdate on the tombstone in the Dark Forest says 1899...
so which is the correct value? Furthermore, there's only four spaces to place values in and 8 different numbers to use... like do I have to put in both dates one right after the other?
I wish there was some feedback about whether the first date was right, like a click for this fucking combination lock...

Was The Lecarde Chronicles 1 ever released then?, also how come Konami hasn't come knocking yet??
This was a tough puzzle, here is a hint:The bridge year and the death of the count, that's the key. Death and rebirth, try doing some math with these two years.
I'm not sure it's a bug or what, but on my map I seem to have a room under count sevrigny's room which is inaccessible, yet it's shown as explored. Does everyone else have this as well?
I feel like such an idiot, I still don't get it but yet don't want to be told either haha
Is there a green arrow pointing up nearby? If so there should be a green arrow pointing down near an entrance to that area of the map, the old inn is similar and confused me too, since the inn segment of the map is removed from the rest of the map
More tips, they will get more obvious the further down you go.
the year of bridge is obvious, the death of the count is when he expected to die,
not knowing you were going to end his undead life early
1713 and 1899
the combination has to do with both,
try some math
Oh jesus christ...
Don't click if you don't want the (possible) answer.
I knew both values obviously but the easiest answer didn't dawn on me:
add the shit to get 3612. Can't try it out right now but that must be it.
This is definitely the most difficult puzzle in the game.haha you got it
I had more trouble with the Garden "puzzle."
This is definitely the most difficult puzzle in the game.haha you got it
So what if I paid nothing? I'm not asking for AAA production values, just a couple of QoL features."have to", "have to suffer"...how much did you pay again? Right, nothing.
Which one was that?
Where you need to get the letter "A" to complete a word.

You don't need to input more than one 4 digit number.
Looks like the best free game ever.
Is it a straight platformer like older Castlevanias? Or more the Metroidvania route?
Those were the same problems I had. Two gotcha encounters, one of which that can waste a lot more of your time.forgive the double post, I'm quite a ways in now
I have fucking problems with the boss design in this game
Definitely not. But it's decent. Nothing has topped Streets of Rage Remake for me as far as fan projects. This game doesn't get up to AM2R's level.Looks like the best free game ever.
AM2R followed by this is like a one-two punch and I had never once played a fan game prior to these two. I'm insanely impressed. You could've sold both of these to me for retail price no problem.
Thanks for reminding me about AM2R. Still haven't downloaded that.Definitely not. But it's decent. Nothing has topped Streets of Rage Remake for me as far as fan projects. This game doesn't get up to AM2R's level.
The thing is, I get EXACTLY what you're saying. The same thoughts entered my mind. I'm not really big into fan games in general so this type of thing is a hard sell.Seeing all the praise this has gotten I was a bit disappointed, the main character and menus just scream amateur/fan game to me. Why is his feet so huge compared to the rest of his body?
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but I guess I just don't have a very high tolerance for this kind of stuff.
SoRR is a highly polished game with a lot of options and variety. It combines the best parts of every SoR game (and lets you toggle them) and adds its own things that still feel like they fit in the series. Except for the guns. But you can turn those off too. If you like beat-em-ups and you haven't played SoRR, you should really track down a copy.Thanks for reminding me about AM2R. Still haven't downloaded that.
Is Streets of Rage Remake really better than Beats of Rage or OpenBOR?
It plays better than it looks. It's understandable if you can't get past the visuals, but maybe you'd be able to overlook that if you gave it a try.Seeing all the praise this has gotten I was a bit disappointed, the main character and menus just scream amateur/fan game to me.

I'm playing with an Xbox 360 controller.Controller support ?
Controller support ?
Okay, after this Castlevania and the Metroid 2-remake I'll give it a try.SoRR is a highly polished game with a lot of options and variety.

I'm not sure it's a bug or what, but on my map I seem to have a room under count sevrigny's room which is inaccessible, yet it's shown as explored. Does everyone else have this as well?
No no, it's a small square room. Immediately below the right side of the big room where you battle the count.
My apologies for the necrobump, but I just realized the answer to this problem. Spoiling for obvious reasons.
That's the room where you fight the skeleton of the count's wife, it's where reading the plaque takes you. You only go there once, after all. It's dimmed and shown in the map before you fight her, and brightens up afterwards.
I want to play this but apparently I don't have anything that can open rar files?
Is there a free windows tool for that?
