[DS] Castlevania: Symphony of the Tits

I finally had a chance to pick up the game the other day, and I have to admit I'm actually enjoying this game a lot more than Portrait of Ruin just due to the fact of how challenging it has been. I only just finished the skeleton cave and I actually love how they have ramped up the difficulty.

I've also been having problems with the giant prison skeleton and also the giant crab. After memorizing attack patterns I finally beat them even if it took me quite a few tries. I had a miserable time beating the crab because I was totally oblivious to the fact that you had to kill him using the elevator. I just kept swinging at him till I got fed up and knew something else had to be done to beat him.

Sometimes I find the boss fights quite tedious but it adds to the challenge of the game and also my enjoyment. I found with the boss fights in Portrait of Ruin too straight forward and incredibly easy. This game however I find requires patience and attacking at the right time since it is so incredibly easy to get killed.

Overall, I hope the rest of the levels are just as challening and entertaining as the levels I've already played in this game. I'm getting a bit of nostalgic love for the castlevania series with this game because I just recently finished Super Castlevania IV on the VC and playing that game made me realize how dreadfully difficult the castlevania series can be since I died quite a few times trying to finish that game. It is good to see this game have a good amount of challenge factor that is so well known in many of the games in the castlevania series.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
