Not run and gun like Metal Slug. I like the exploring to find all the gems. 200 on just the first screen? The morphball and bombs killed me immediately. Up direction to stop it instead of jump took me a minute. So many different guns to try out. Very much an arcade game, I wonder how close this is to the Neo Geo version. Bright colorful art with the effects and backgrounds. Limited life bar and lives, this is gonna take a lot of practice to beat. I think I'll post my scores here as I work through this one.
-
16-bit art intro and story cutscenes. This is a change of pace for me.
-
I accidentally won this. I put in a bid and forgot about it as I figured it would get bid up and I wasn't going to fight for it. No one watching it bid so I won a few days later. Kinda cool.
-
Having companions was short lived. They really helped in that battle before leaving. The story makes them sound kind of negative. They're going to go back and protect Lodoss, I'm on my own to fight here. Had enough to get the special katana made and upgrade it a bit. Now off to another cave.
-
Really without that exploit and using it we wouldn't have had the homebrews or translated games we've gotten over the years.
-
Onto the Dark Elf evil guy at the end of the ruins. He burns the forest in a cutscene and then proceeds to beat me pretty good. Guess I'll level up a bit and try tomorrow.
-
Oh wow the companions actually fight with you this is cool! Fought my way to another goblin lair and found Deedlit. Another small cutscene with Deedlit being abused by goblins. And we slaughter the goblins in short order.
-
The save game crystals actually bring back a bad game memory from around the same time this came out. Every time I save it reminds me of this game on PC for some reason. Must have traumatized me at the time or something.
-
End of the Dark forest area finally. Much easier with upgrading gear properly now. Many small paths and nooks and crannies with loot to find.
-
Yes absolutely 😅. My many deaths are more from just exploring where I shouldn't be yet mostly. @Austin Yes after getting to the Dark elf village and opening more options up I see what the gameplay loop is with the blacksmith now and upgrading myself. Moving all the upgrades and adding more to a weapon is fun working on a good weapon/armor build.
-
Another hour of almost no progress. I must be doing something wrong. Maybe I'll try grinding and upgrading the same gear for awhile.
-
@LostdragonIve been using this and plug into my 4k TV. It works great and has a 5ft cord so I can put the console where I want it. It throws the Dreamcast into vga mode using it. So my SNK games don't support it like KOF or Last Blade. Really out of the whole library there's very games that don't work with it and playing these on the big flat screen is a real treat.
-
Save crystals went from every other screen to non-existent. And the difficulty ramped up from a 1 to a 10 real quick. I see why the fast travel spell and hoard of healing bottles was given at the beginning now. 2 hours of getting this screen is irritating while exploring.
-
Ah ha! So this is a side story from Record of Lodoss War. Ok that's cool. I'm not a huge fan but I have seen some of the series in years past. I did do some more looting and weapon upgrading is fun with the blacksmith.
-
In game cutscenes! Complete with early 2000s cgi that's entertaining. I recognize a couple characters in it from the anime of the same name. I guess that's how this is all tied together. This story seems separate from the anime adventures though. And I learned some magic. It's a fast travel spell. This is getting good now.
-
Goblin fortress down. Onto the next. The enemies aren't very hard yet and I have an awful lot of refillable healing potions in this. Also of note is save crystals. They seem to be scattered every 5 minutes of playing. Even throughout dungeon levels.
-
Progress through a cemetery and into the goblins fortress. Found a blacksmith that it let me name him. He'll be my weapons upgrader after this quest I guess.
-
What did your stats come out to?
-
I play this everyday on my phone til I fall asleep so I end up forgetting to report it. Android Survive - 200min
-
Moving on slightly as leveling takes hours per level now and new loot is very rare. Dreamcast Phantasy Star Online v2 - 840min Record of Lodoss War - 100min Dead or Alive 2 - 80min Centipede - 30min Soul Caliber - 30min Ready 2 Rumble boxing - 20min NES Gauntlet - 20min Ninja Gaiden - 20min
-
I better make it last then. I've become accustomed to very long grinds with different games. Destiny grinding brought me back to Dreamcast to give PSO another go after 20 years. It's good to know this title will eventually end and isn't just an endless looter.
-
I like that there are dialogue options in this. I am unsure if they have any affect on what happens but it is a nice touch nonetheless.
-
Hunting goblins and getting loot. This is pretty fun so far.
-
Kept meaning to play this with many others but my Phantasy Star Online shoot and loot bug always got to me first. This is pretty cool so far. Has a real story and reminds me of the Baldurs Gate games.
-
I think 180 hours of grinding solo is enough now.
