IrgndSonDepp<p>First thoughts on <em>Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance</em>:</p><ul><li>Oh hey, it's Juste. I thought the character was invented for the recent TV show. I could have sworn that I looked him up in the wiki, but apparently I didn't. Neat. 🙂</li><li>Moving around is so much more fun from the get-go. Juste is so much more agile than Nathan in <em>Circle of the Moon</em>.</li><li>What's that weird outline dragging behind Juste? Is he moving at superspeed? Will this be here for the whole game? It's kinda annoying. 😅</li><li>Ooooh money! I think I'll be able to buy potions again! 🤩</li><li>Progression seems pretty quick so far.</li><li>Oh. The magic system is interesting. Books of magic can be equipped to turn your subweapons into spells. When they're equipped, spells/subweapons consume mana instead of hearts. Switching them on and off is an annoying menu tax though, but the GBA only had so many buttons.</li><li>"Quick save"? Is that what I think it is??? (It is! When you die, you can load from the last save room, but keep the progress up to the "quick save".)</li><li>Was the quick save somehow a tradeoff for a continue screen? Why do I have to click through 5 screens and videos for 15 seconds after every death? Feels a bit like two steps forward, one step back. 😩</li></ul><p><a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/shareyourgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShareYourGames</span></a> <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/castlevania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Castlevania</span></a> <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/harmonyofdissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarmonyOfDissonance</span></a></p>
