Lords of Thunder (Sega CD) - 1CC (Earth Armor) - Hard - 1663190 points

The last of the armors, and my favorite one from the original PC-Engine version. At level 3, the explosions that occur when your energy balls hit something, are insanely strong and melt through larger enemies and bosses. Unfortunately, that is not the case in the SegaCD version. The weapon feels distinctly underpowered here, and is definitely the weakest of the 4 armors.
Overall, I struggled quite a bit, though for some reason Stage 2 - Auzal was pretty much perfect.
Note that I played on the PC using the Genesis Plus GX core in RetroArch.
