OOC - NO U

It's the one just released on the Live Arcade. 6-player multiplayer.

I have no idea how to play that game apparently.

I guess it is easier when you've played the games each character comes from.

[Edit]

This game is infinitely more enjoyable with this guy talking.

"Gladius. GLADIUS. ******** YEAH. Gladius."

Is Harmony of Despair as awesome as it looks?

Words... should have sent... a poet.

It's pretty kick-a**. I'm obsessing over finding weapon runes as Shanoa right now. I KNOW they're in the game, but I can only find magic ones....

[Edit]

Also, Dracula seems to be his Dracula X / Rondo of Blood form, to boot. He doesn't give the speech (sadly) but he does throw his wine glass. Haven't beaten him yet though, since he seems to have at least two transformations.

What is a man/woman/half vampire?

A miserable little pile of confusion.

Well, multiplayer feels like... multiplayer Castlevania, in bite-sized chunks.

Single-player has a sort of "time attack" feel to it. Technically it's the exact same game (go through the levels, collect items, and finish within thirty minutes) both ways, but playing single-player does kind of feel stilted in that you beat the boss and you're done, compared to earning a new skill or new area.

I guess it's what you make of it. I have no problem running the same area over and over for items, souls, and what have you. Hell, it's what I did in most of those game originally, so it doesn't feel horribly different for me.

Kinda pissed that I can't for the life of me find more than 4 glyphs for Shanoa though. Still, when that really just boils down to "spam seeker Lightning on everything," I can't be too mad.

(Though I think I'm just doing something wrong.)

If I log on and I don't see a Steve, I'm going to be sad.
