Tuesday's usually and this came out yesterday mid afternoon.

Not very long impedi just hard but once you beat it once and know what you are doing you could go through it in half the time.

Let me know what you think after you clear it.

Well, I just finished Resurrection, the second DLC chapter for Castlevania: LoS, and I have to admit that I am sorely disappointed.

Reverie, in my opinion, was so awesome not only because it was a very long chapter filled with puzzles galore that twisted your mind, but because of the level of emotion involved. Seeing how much anguish Laura was in brought a level of realism to the level that mad me angry when the level so abruptly ended. Reverie is truly a DLC worth every penny.

Resurrection, however, was just disappointing. No real challenge, no twists, not even a good ending that gave you a sense of accomplishment. No, all we get is a cliche antagonist filled to the brim with bravado insults and quips. The fights, while challenging on higher difficulties, were nothing special to me and the overall level design was nothing better than in the actual game. This took me less than an hour to finish, and that's only because of the sometimes very cheap deaths that happened while fighting the Forgotten One. Hell, even his character design was cliche, in my opinion. I was truly expecting an epic fight with a demon god that would be remembered as a worthy candidate for "world destroyer". Sadly, however, I didn't get such.

Resurrection is a good addition to LoS, but it could have been so much more.

I agree reverie was far better and had me clamoring for more. This did seem thrown together and just seemed far shorter. Still I liked it overall as it gave me more but like I said and you agreed with it could have been so much more.

On a side note at the end of the game Gabriel was so damn powerful. The ease in which he disposed of Forgotten One at the height of his powers was scary. They will probably have to tone him down for the next game. That's crazy powerful.

So Forgotten One wasn't the pain in the ass he was in Lament of Innocence?

This is my first trip back to castlevania since part 3. I really fell out of videogames for years and in this sense welcomed a reboot since I was so far removed from castlevania continuity. I think this game definitely was a lot milder than the casltevania's of old in terms of difficulty. I never did beat the second form of Dracula on the original.

A sequel is in the works.

Huzzah.

This pleases me.
