      Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen was a pretty amazing game if you've never played. Might be hard to get videos out of it your first run though, but that took as many hours out of my childhood as the original FF2 USA cartridge I farmed 2 Medusa blades, a pink tail, dragon whip, 2 glass helms on. 😲
      Edit: twice you referenced the ghosts n goblins franchise, super ghouls n ghosts was meant as the sequel to ghosts n goblins, this one is a sequel to Goblins Quest on NES, which admittedly was meant to be a spin-off, in as much as firebrand was retroactively named and is meant to be that one red guy in ghosts n goblins, and this is kind of his story.

    1. To use inventory items you must select inventory items. Including the gargoyle form, potions in bottles and spells on vellum (paper).
    2. There aren’t really I frames, at least for many bosses. One of the riskiest but biggest tricks for some bosses is to spam breath attacks.
    3. There generally can only be one fireball on the screen at one time but once it vanishes, you can make another one. A strong tactic is to get close to an enemy and hit the attack button as fast as you can, though that also makes you a sitting duck.
    4. You can head butt windows.

    For SNES recommendations, you've gotta play Actraiser 2 if you're looking for an insanely difficult game and Actraiser 1 if you're looking for a city builder/action game hybrid and both are insanely addicting. EVO: Search for Eden is also really cool. You start as a primordial fish creature and collect body parts by eating other monsters. Eventually, your actions dictate your next evolution until eventually you turn into a caveman. It's a little grindy, but still really cool.

    • @duffman18
      @duffman18 Місяць тому +1

      Bloodlines is the best classic Castlevania game. Or at least it's equal to Rondo of Blood although for different reasons. Its so fast paced and feels amazing to play.
      I don't consider Super Castlevania IV to be a classic Castlevania game, because it plays very differently. It's basically its own series, a 1-game series that never got a sequel. Super Castlevania is to classic Castlevania as Mega Man X is to Mega Man, basically. And the metroid style castlevanias are also a separate series obviously.
      But yeah Bloodlines is absolutely a classic Castlevania game, it's that NES style gameplay taken to its logical conclusion. It just feels so great. I always thought Super Castlevania IV felt very slow and sluggish but Bloodlines absolutely doesn't, the gamefeel is on point.
      Rondo of Blood is mainly amazing for just how big it is, so if you ever fall down a bottomless pit you don't die, you end up in a brand new level and keep going from there so it's got like 10 different routes through the game. It's really bloody difficult though, or you could say it's really rondo of bloody difficult.

For those familiar with that series, flying was a big part of it, but your flight was limited and was something that you "power up" as you go. So having it be infinite in this game was really cool. Plus later transformations make it so you can freely fly up and down too. Such a good game...

    This game is actually a sequel to Ghost'n Ghoblins spinoff Gargoyle's Quest for the Game Boy (+ it's sequel on NES, Gargoyle's Quest II).
    The NES game is a bit watered down but the Game Boy original I would highly highly recommend, you could pop that into Super Gameboy and it would be absolute delight to watch you play it, it holds well still today and shouldn't take too long to beat!

    This game is definitely good, but I played it for the first time recently and it felt like something was missing. Something I can't quite articulate, so can I really hold it against the game? Probably not. I quite enjoyed the two Gargoyle's Quest games though.
    Also - play Super Adventure Island 2.

    If you want a real good game, where you explore like metroid. Give "Air Fortress" a try. It's got space fighting like r-type, then dungeon exploration like metroid. Every level is different, but it's very challenging as well.

Bad part is, it has city building sections that slow things down a bit, but still very fun game to play and figure out the secrets.

  • @WhiteFangofWar
    @WhiteFangofWar Місяць тому +1

    Before Castlevania: Symphony of the Night this game perfected gothic horror exploration. If what I hear is to be believed it also fell victim to the 'satanic panic', with many returning the game due to having demons etc. Unlocking the true final boss does require a lot of 100% completion 'side quest BS' though, such as having to beat Level 3 of the Headbutt game.
    Would love to see a modern Metroidvania Demon's Crest. Try Super Adventure Island 2 if you want to try more exploration.

    I am so glad to see more people discovering this game. Believe it or not, while this is a more-or-less stand-alone prequel to Ghosts & Goblins/Ghouls & Ghosts, there are actually two other games that star Firebrand here as their playable character. Gargoyle's Quest on the Game Boy, and a game of the same name on the NES. Oh yeah, the guy in the Dark Town that talks about you reacts differently to your transformed states using the Elemental Crests. Often, he'll give you hints on how to use them.
    Try talking to him with the Crest of Time...

    love this game! one of the few imo genuinely underrated/overlooked gems on the SNES, even though over the years more people have become aware of it.
    you gotta get in a metroidvania mindset for this one though, it's not just a straightforward platformer but considerably more complex and interconnected and revisiting stages is basically mandatory, if only because almost all of them have multiple bosses and stage exits with numerous rewards attached. you seem to have figured it out by the end of this vid though ;) .
    I gotta say tho, I am genuinely impressed by how well you handled that skeleton boss in the boneyard. As you can probably tell, this guy is a smidge more difficult than other early bosses and is one of the first walls players have to overcome. even when properly prepared, he can take a couple of tries just due to how easily he can get hits in on you due to his large hitbox.
    I'd really like to see you play more of this, it's always interesting seeing people come into this genuinely fresh and slowly figuring out how much this game has going on under the hood.
